Thanks guys! Yeah, the font stroke is mostly because of the lighting (I tightened the mask as far as possible and it still shows). I’ll try light linking to brighten just that area, good idea Sascha!
Yep Dwayne, they are mostly different in brightness of lights, then a couple tweaks on Render Raw. I too think I like the first one better, but the letters somewhat feel more matte gray instead of a glossy surface being lit.
Crazy how the simplest model and materials can still be so tricky to get where I want with lighting.
Then going through spot gloss, raised UVs and foil pressing for labels… it’s going to be one of those rabbit holes.
