First time in a class and first time with Blender? I’m impressed.
Welcome to the class @verygrinderchuck! White can be tricky to light. I remember discovering that pure *pure* white (as in a color value of 1) is actually very rare in reality. I think it’s why most physically based shaders (including Blender + Cycles) defualt to 0.8 in value. It’s been helpful for me to redefine white as 0.8 instead of 1.
Still it’s a solid result for the toy truck. Same with the day and night scene. I agree with silent’s feedback. Overall an easy A in my book.
Are you coming from another 3D package?
