1. Shadows & Reflections Shadows and reflections work together to create depth and realism. Shadows frame your design, while reflections add an extra layer of believability by interacting dynamically with the environment. Strategically placing objects to create foreground shadows can frame the building and enhance visual interest.
Add trees, buildings, or objects behind the camera not only to introduce subtle shadows but also to create realistic reflections on glass and glossy surfaces.
Adjust sun positioning to control shadow angles and ensure they interact well with reflective surfaces for added realism.
Use soft shadows in the settings to mimic natural light diffusion, preventing overly harsh transitions in reflections and on the ground.
Consider ground cover elements like leaves or dandelions to add complexity to both shadows and reflections, breaking up large, empty spaces.
2. Optimize your model
3. Composition
4. Leverage high-quality materials for realism
5. Utilize the Enscape Asset Library and custom assets
6. Camera settings
7. Fine-tune interior lighting for realism
