Thank you so much! This is a great opportunity to experiment and learn something new! I will be waiting for the next challenges and I really hope that other community members will share their work, it is always interesting to see how the same task is solved in completely different ways! 👾🚀🔄

- Lighting, Post effects, Scene building 👾

The thought that came to me is that with this frame plan, we expect to see the roughness of textures (paper, board, plastic of pins) but in this picture it seems that noise reduction has eaten everything up. And as for the lighting, I agree with the comment above, the sticker at the top of the frame looks like it's over-illuminated.

Greetings from Russia! My name is Александр, I work as a full-time motion designer, sometimes I also take freelance tasks (motion, 3d modeling and visualization, sound design), and as a hobby, we make a video game with friends. I've been wanting to learn Octane rendering for a long time, thank you Patrick for this community and your experience! I have a pretty weak piece of hardware (Ryzen 7, GTX1660, 32Gb) that sometimes hurts my a**, but I hope I'll get an upgrade soon that will make me happy. Good luck to everyone, stunning renders and lots of flashes of neurons in the brain! 🙏🧠💗
