Hi guys!
Recently I took the time to do a few of additional close-ups from projects I was working on, these are just some small details, but I enjoyed making them and hopefully you’ll enjoy watching them.
Have a great week!

Your glass looks amazing. I love the subtle fingerprints!
Could probably do with de-noising a few of these though maybe. I’m new to Corona, so new to these techniques. It’s bringing me right back to noisy Maxwell renders 10 years ago!
Pleasant renders, well done.
I hope we can have the new adaptivity so we can get over the noisy areas like in your render. I got them too and I have to apply some denoise post.p.
Thanks guys! Really glad you like it.
Oh c’mon atelieryork, I remember those days as well, and they are not that noisy. 
On a more serious note tho thanks, I’ll remember next time. 
All the best
Simon
Love the lighting in your scene. What setup did you use?
The noisy DOF/edges is indeed bit standing out in renders since it looks so off from photographical noise. I always do some quick masking in PS on those areas and de-noise it. They’re already blurry because of DOF, so there is no detail loss and it takes 2 minutes to do.
On second note, is there also some ‘sharpening’ ? Looks too crisp to be pleasant.
rambambulli: Thanks. It’s a pretty standard setup: hdri+corona sun.
Juraj_Talcik: Yup, true, true, tho I get the feeling that when you de-noise the out of focus hilights you also loose that nice bokeh effect, don’t you? Yes, a bit of sharpening was added, will keep in mind next time.
Take care and have a great weekend

Oh sorry that’s not what I meant! 
Just meant that the approach that we need to take our renders and de-noise them reminds me of the old Maxwell days. I’ve been spoiled these last years with clean VRay renders and this is now a change back to the old ways that I wasn’t expecting. But overall I’m enjoying Corona a lot. The quality of light is a worthwhile benefit for the sacrifice of time and noise, which can be overcome either with denoising or money.
By the way… I just realised which Simon you are… haha small world! Now I need to get you over here to the other building so you can teach me how to get your materials looking like this…
Haha indeed it is Alex. Looks like you’ve got yourself a deal!
Take care
Simon
