Deep Dive into Refractive Objects - Using References & Avoiding Context Bias
One of the most important things when it comes to reproducing complex natural effects in renders is to use real life image references, but this comes with a small caveat. You need to make sure that you avoid causing “Context Bias” by trying to replicate edge cases, that may seem unnatural and physically inaccurate. The best practice is to reference images that can only be perceived as real. |
