Divinity of Nature

Thank you everyone for the positive feedback and responses!! In recognition of my appreciation, here are some applicable 3D animation industry tips and secrets :)

Rendered in CryEngine: Great for machines, factories, installations, technology

Rendered in Unreal: Amazing realistic landscapes/settings and photorealistic textures

Rendered in Cycles (Blender render engine): Great for organics, soft shading, and that movie-quality Pixar-like smoothness

Subsurface scattering, subsurface shading, subsurface glows: To add depth and color variety to volumetric objects/water/clouds etc.

Ray-tracing: For all the reflections you can muster :)
