15 years of passion, force of will, joy, blood and tears chasing photorealism. Relentlessly pursuing building a studio in my beloved hometown, Zaragoza. Uniting the most incredible team I could have dream of. All that, resulted in our character rendering art talk. Beyond characters, a reflection about Rendering in general.

With Brixelizer GI, I love that I can look at an object, like this TV, and see the entire room reflected. It’s not perfect, but it’s a good step up from just having SSR.
