The first rule of tutorials? Make sure the resulting image, is at least slightly cool looking.

I hate to rag on people who provide free tutorials and stuff to the community, but I couldn't pass it up.

I believe he's the winning author of this tutorial previously remarked upon:

Wow! That before and after image was unbelievable. Really, really unbelievable - as in I can't believe he made a tutorial with this crap. I agree about ragging on somebody providing a free tutorial, but he's supposed to be a published author and should know better.

You gotta admit though, the second one does look "better".

[tom182]

agreed about that "ragging", but actually going to the trouble to include a mugshot of the author only makes the whole experience even more cringeful,

Anyone that makes digital "art" goes in my book in the first place but barely anything in his renderings gallery has shadows in it. Suspicious.

[percydaman]

yes I chose to decide his work in his gallery was from like 3ds max 2, and just really needed to be updated. Yes I frequently think ignorance is bliss

[gfa2]

man you guys are cruel...but I guess that makes me cruel too, cause I have to agree.

"The HDR IBL is responsible for the highlights on the sofa and the rendering’s overall warmth, while the HDR reflection map produces a sparkle of brilliance on the teapot and coffee table not present in the “normal” rendering."

I can't believe you all missed that sparkle of brilliance guys.
