Thanks again guys for your comments !
Hey Juraj, yes it's still that client from London (some jobs just keep on dragging on, arghh) . As far as those reflections go I remember that I did tinker with them in Photoshop a bit but I hadn't rendered the still on black, well, sort of, I applied that bitmap in the Direct visibility override slot. I basically didn't want to add the background in Photoshop and add the reflection pass on top of that as I would've gotten some AA issues, I noticed that even perfectly outlined black and white masks don't always give perfect edges and that's why I tend not to use them (on projects that have to be done in a hurry I still use it though ). I will try your method as well to see how it works !
Cheers !

Oh my god, you are incredible talent Eduard, it is absolutely amazing to what detail, photorealism and beauty you tighten every aspect of renderings. I am getting strong feeling that 3D artists based in UK are so good hah! Would you mind sharing your basic workflow? I mean mainly creating lighting (on white model first?), tweaking materials (first using hdri preview?).
Keep incredible quality :)

Hi Jakub, thank you so much for your words, I'm glad you enjoy them. Actually I am a big fan of your renders too, especially the kitchen with the chromed island, love the lighting and shaders in that one. Well, as far as my lighting workflow goes I mostly use hdris and test them out when I start the scene so yes when everything is still white, after which I slowly start applying materials one by one, usually I start with the floor and larger sized elements. Also, I always try to keep my Exposure in corona at 0 and adjust the HDRI light to the preferred intensity and the same principle applies when I add artificial lights, this way I know the right intensity of every light. And that's about it, I hope that helps, cheers !
