About Me
I've worked with 3D Modelling for a few years and only recently got into realism. It is still admittedly a work in progress but I like to think I've come a long way over my years working in Blender.

About My GALA Project:
I worked on photorealism, or as close as I could get with the tools I had, and to achieve this I needed to practice realistic materials. I definitely feel that I've improved on my photorealism and would count this project as a success.
What Goes Into Photorealism?
What Goes Into Photorealism?
Photorealism has three main elements: Lighting, Materials, and Scale. Lighting and Materials are arguably more important but they are still all a necessity to achieve true photorealism.
Materials
Materials
In order to make photorealistic materials a lot of things have to be considered. Nothing in our world is perfect, there will always be smudges, smears, cracks, chips etc. and so this has to be taken into consideration. It is hard to notice but there is very faint smudges on the floorboards above which helps tie together the realistic look.

Miscellaneous Renders
All of these renders helped build skills I needed such as UV Unwrapping, applying textures + bump maps, achieving certain materials such as metal, and creating composition.
