Photo-realism is one of the ultimate goals for many CG artists, and it's also one of the most difficult to achieve. Even if you're relatively new to 3D computer graphics however, today's tools and workflow techniques make photo-realism very obtainable. Here are eight techniques to help you get there: 1.
