The document discusses the process of rendering a sushibar scene using Blender. It describes adjustments made to materials, lighting and textures to improve the realism and quality of the rendered image over multiple iterations. Specific techniques mentioned include using emissive materials instead of light sources, faking reflections with omni lights, and post-processing the final render in Photoshop using techniques like curves and dodge/burn to enhance colors, contrasts and lighting effects.

Halfway I change my mind about some colors then enters with PS and made some adjustments in my raw rendering. We'll see about that later.

01 - Just Fresnel. Highlight glossiness = Ref Glossiness = 0,6 + Filter red. 02 - Brown polish plastic: fresnel with 80% reflection. Shader type = Phong

Note I use a material for the surface of the glass plan and other one - darker - to glass edges, just with reflection but no refraction.

This can also be done with Rec Lights, but I prefer the final effect when I use emissive.

Again we can also do this with Rec Lights, but I used emissive. Just a matter of personal taste.

I put my omni light already inside the component to edit all at once.

from the floor.

Double sided
Here's a little trick: note I used omni lights aligned with the spots on the ceiling to simulate fake reflections on the floor.

Here I could use smaller values for Color and Noise Threshold to get
more quality, but in this case the render time needed to be short.

Here I could use best values for HSph. Sudivs and Samples to get more quality, but as I said, the
render time for this scene needed to be short.

It took 1 hour and 25 minutes. A good time to render for me, but the image was a bit flat and dull. Time to make adjustments.

We just up there a sequel to what was done. It is very important to set all materials with Color ID option. Now we can treat each material separately.

At that point the render ruined the fabric in the chair. So, I fixed it with Clone Stamp tool and patience.

Just a glow effect to get a more nice contrast. I selected the bottom of the cabinet, painted it white and so, a Blur filter were applied.

A series of specific adjustments using ID Color channel and the MAGIC WARP selection tool . I create adjustment layers of Levels, Curves and Hue Saturation.
Here I change the color
using Hue Saturation

Two layers in Overlay, with a medium gray with which I accented high lights and dark areas in the scene with Dodge and Burn tools.

Lens flare images from Google in Screen blend mode. The reflection marks in the warm granite floor is absolutely fake. I used omni lights for that, do you remember ?

Sharpen filters and a High Pass layer in soft light blend mode.

Here I increase brightness and contrast. The human eye like this. And add a little chromatic aberration.

I add my workflow at left corner using the soft logos and my own logo at right corner.
