CINEVERSITY

Thanks for the reply, MFVis,

The main takeaway is to use whatever you like, but it might be too much if something doubles during rendering. Whereby GI provides more refined results, and AO is more of a hack. Anyway, whatever works.

But yes, I admit, based on the unnatural results of AO, I was never a fan of it.

Hi Adult-garden,

I have not all textures here. Is that object a "glass ball" with just the iris textured?

All the best

P.S.: for Holographic simulations, perhaps a layered Spectral Shader works better

Please note that I have used a different Layer in each ".psd" instance.
