Request for Honest Critique – Realism Assessment on Octane Product Render
Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate some fresh eyes on this render that was done in Octane. I’ve been staring at it for too long and have hit that point of familiarity fatigue and tunnel vision -- I can tell something feels off, but I can’t pinpoint exactly why. When I compare it to other beautiful, moody, and… -

And if you did set lights, then the HDRI works against that. Some of the reflections seem to have little or no Fresnel falloff when facing the camera.…
