Hey guys, welcome back to the channel it has been some time since I've uploaded but I think this video is worth the wait. Over the past year, my own knowledge of graphics has increased a lot so I wanted to pass on some of the most crucial aspects in graphics that will allow you to achieve photorealism!
This video is essentially a follow up to my Terrain Tips and Tricks, so, definitely check that one out if you want to learn some more quick tips.
