Preference in your studio setups?

[Jer25]

This is just for my own curiosity...

Is there a preferred method to create a studio setup? Meaning modeling a white blanket type setup with lights or using hdr images?

I'm sure composting can direct which way to go but I mean in just personal projects.

I like to borrow corners from old scenes to set things up in. Means i don't have to worry about anything else as the original scene would have been perfected.

Makes sense...

I just looked at your site. I really like 4th, 5th and 6th images in your exterior gallery. Were those created with a V-Ray sun and a simple sky image?

I do this too, kindof - I have 3 scenes saved out that I use to set up materials in. One an external with fairly soft light (kind of cloudy), one an external in strong sunlight, and an empty internal of an apartment.

yeah vray sun most likely and just a jpg background though im not sure about the 6th as its quite old and might have been before sun existed.
