The secret to photorealism isn’t what you add—it’s what you mess up. Clean CAD models look fake because physical manufacturing always leaves traces. Here are 4 micro-details that make product CGI look completely tangible: • Subtle anisotropy: Brushed metals scatter light in directional streaks, never uniform highlights. • Micro-bevels: Zero-radius edges do not exist. Even razor blades carry a microscopic radius to catch rim light. • Roughness breakup: Map faint smudges and dust specifically where human hands naturally interact with the product. • Accurate texture scale: Keep bump maps microscopic. Overscaled plastic grain immediately breaks visual scale. Perfection looks digital. Controlled imperfection makes it real.
