Q&A
 
How long have you used Shot before you made these images?
I've been using Shot for about six months now.

What did you use before Shot?
I used 3dsMax for all my renders.
 
What do you like most about Shot?
I use the program mostly as part of my concept art pipeline where speed is key.  For me, the best thing about Shot is the ability to quickly change my lighting and materials and get a realtime preview of what my final render will be.  The quality of the renders also gives me a great starting point to paint over details and finish up my designs.
 
Did you use one of our stock hdri or did you make your own?
There is a good variety of lighting options with the environment images that come with the program - but I do plan on picking up a few more from the Bunkspeed store very soon.  I have no plans to make my own. .
