"Serves only to prove that taste and style is more important than any technical knowledge."
Incorrect generalization!!!
Perhaps for thats true for hobbiests tooling around and only need to render STILLS for their personal online poser galleries.
But if you Do professional CG work for paying clients and dont know that .5 change in fluid viscosity will make your Fluid sim look alot less like pudding and more like actual water, then all the so called "taste and style" in the world will not give you a Correct looking result
in RealFlow4 for Example.
A one point change in water vapor or turbidity will completely change the color of your "physical sky " and everything under it in an outdoor Vray render.
BTW That image you linked to earlier featured a glaring example of why poser people look so Fake!!
..the eyes!!!
bogus"painted in" highlights/reflections and ZERO thickness to the lower eyelid.
I agree we cant all be "tech heads" running our computers through a command line interface
but this notion of "ignore the tech stuff and follow your artistic passion" is why utterly craptastic renders with no shadows at all continue to be posted here to a chorus of oozing praise.
Cheers
