I just ran into your renders/media and your pics look great! Is all this straight from VaM and plugins or is some of the shading/post applied after? I've noticed good lighting makes all the difference and I sometimes fiddle around for hours getting it right. (Guess I'm not the only one). Any tips?

Thank you ! Full VaM, the exception is I sometimes use the sharpness slider on windows native gallery but that's about it.
I take a lot of pics with different luts, light angles etc... One advice I could give is to play with shadow strength, point bias, camera exposure, lut strength and all options availables. Also stopper light option plugin really helps with shadows. I usually start with a point light with point bias 0, shadow strength .20, and use it as the main light and build the rest of the rig around it.
In the end it's all about messing around while listening to nice music since I don't have theoric knowledge about lighting x)
