Work in Progress/Tests / Re: Juraj's Renderings thread

Man, I really appreciate you taking the time for such a thought out response. This gives me so much to think about!
I had a feeling there was not a one size fits all solution (if there was, most of us would be out of work, right?), but your different approaches are still really insightful. Your first one you mention, is essentially what I am experimenting with in Fstorm right now, and I am getting decent results, but I think I am still lacking in my tonemapping skills (either way I won't get into Fstorm too much).
I am in a similar boat, where I find myself cycling through different HDRIs so much, and always thinking there is something I wish that was different about each one. I remember in your recent article how mentioned to not be afraid of editing HDRIs, and I have done that and had some great success, but I found myself ending up with so many different versions of each HDRI, and needing to make slight tweaks each time, then I stumbled on this thread and saw how much success you are having with Sun & Sky, and while I realize there is so much more to your work than just the lighting solution, but I wanted to try my hand at using Sun & Sky and see what type of results I could get, since I do love the flexibility.
I also wish for the same thing as you! I am beginning to work more with furniture studios, and am really hoping to get a chance to shadow their photographers one day.
Anyways, thanks again for the great post. I will continue my experimentation. :)
