I appreciate the advice. I think I've tweaked it to a good place now, and like you said, the sample size helped tremendously. I've re-rendered a few scenes so far, but they aren't integrated yet.
I think I started this project 6 or 7 weeks ago with a one week haitus to move to a new state, so I haven't been a dev long. It feels weird to refer to myself as a dev when 2 months ago I knew nothing about coding or game development.
How about you?
