Been in VAM for many years where my top goal is to capture as near to photo realism as is possible in VAM.
Although from what I see on my monitor (which may differ from your monitor view) I'm not too far off the mark, I still struggle to fully succeed in life like photo realism which I do believe is achievable in VAM "IF" the pursuit is relentless and I can connect with the right VAM geniuses and prodigies for guidance and advice - That's what I'm asking for here.
I took, with CheesyFX's permission, his slender babe model and tweaked the scene lights, skin, hair, etc to try and create a photo realistic rendition of her using a combo of lights, w/without MacGrubers photo magic, CheesyFX Focus on me, and Tiseb's Colortone. Although on my monitor the image turned out good it still lacks something for exceptional photo realism, and I don't know what that is.
The ask: can anyone please suggest changes, tweaks, plugins, anything I can do/not do to better achieve better photo realism in VAM without any external applications like photoshop?
