Why this pairing is interesting

Photorealistic rendering in skin: portraits, animals and objects with true-to-life light, texture and depth. Realism is technically demanding — designs need a strong tonal structure underneath the detail or they blur with age, so our realism designs keep deliberate contrast anchors.
