@Lius86:Thanks, Yes it was HDRI with inverse gamma .9, all settings default except camera settings.
@Michaltimko:Thanks, i had few too many yesterday :D
@Bluebox:Thanks, yes usually it is, sometimes battle with clients leave you with rubble, similar to what you see in any urban environment battle(war) and that eventually get you questioning is it still worth battle it since everything is leveled down.
Few projects before i made such a SHIT that i would be pretty much embarrassed even to show it publicly, and since nothing was my call i decided to ignore it... :) placed it under carpet with rest of miserable things...
Usually relationship between clients go "Listen, i know best, you will do what i am paying you, you are providing services and i give you ca$h in exchange" with some crazy deadlines, 16hours of work but you are payed half of that, 100 revisions etc.
There is also people(clients) who actually know better and let you do your thing, those guys know difference, have confidence in you and what is more important let you do your job, they do not suffer from power crave, they know if they knew better they would probably do it on their own.
And again no one is perfect, there is lots of mistakes always, nor project could be always perfect and suiting to you, there is still lots of things pressuring you like time frame, budget or simply maybe you do not like it a bit.
You either can work those differences with client or not, you try and educate them, try convincing them but hey at the end of the day if they insist on some wood table with classic Scandinavian furniture or pink console table etc. and loads of all kind of silly request that are not meant to be... you try and minimize it as much as you can and grab bottle of Jack Daniels to help you swallow loads of that shit.
That is why you can see work today that is looking like someone is raping industry and that it looks like it was made 2004, those guys decided self preservation(ca$h in today's terms) over artistry and they are right on one side.
I do have great respect to anyone like BB or whoever(there is full Behance of guys doing great job in every aspect) who is trying to show people(possible future clients) how something suppose to look like and what is all about instead blind fulfillment of their sometimes stupid wishes, it is educational and inspiring but again someone will always turn his head on other side, show inertness and avoid to see any difference.
Same goes in almost any industry today unfortunately, i don't have to tell anyone that not a single song today has any future but quite contrary it has expiration date... And there is only few guys that are truly independent who can make their own terms and conditions. And that road is filled with crows feet, IED, mad clients, hoodlums and crazy fat ladies that sings so you have to pass all those on single life and not get killed and on top having willingness to work after you seen all that :D
That is why you drink, that is why your back hurts, that is why you need rest, that is why you need to be tactical and that is why you need to have one eye shut down not able to see too much, as if you do it will spoil you.
This is short story based on my experience, yours can be different and you can say different stuff and so on but again everyone have his own path :)
Cheers
