Recommended workflow when working with most basic inserts;

• Make a simple base mesh (could be a cube or a little bit flatter),
• Add a bevel-modifier. Start with width: 0.015,  Segments 4 or 5,  Limit Method; Angle, Angle: 30 degrees.
• Shade Smooth (Z) and in Object Data tab in the Properties panel:  Autosmooth
• If you have a build with the Normal Weight Modifier, that does some magic sometimes.
• Right after using an insert (not yet applied), move the Boolean modifier before the bevel modifier.  (Bevel modifier is always last).
• All you have to do now is: place insert > move modifier > place insert > move modifier etc.

The DirectDraw Surface container file format (uses the filename extension DDS), is a Microsoft format for storing data compressed with the previously proprietary S3 Texture Compression (S3TC) algorithm, which can be decompressed in hardware by GPUs. This makes the format useful for storing graphical textures and cubic environment maps as a data file, both compressed and uncompressed.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectDraw_Surface

The DDS format was developed by Microsoft to be used with the DirectX SDK for the development of real-time rendering applications, particularly 3D games. The format is primarily used to store model textures, mipmap levels, and cubemaps in 3D video games.

“I think that it’s important now for people coming into the entertainment or pop culture business to know that all bets are off, … We don’t necessarily know that film making as we know it will exist in few years.
​We don’t know that gaming is going to look the way it (now) looks or TV is going to look the way it looks. There is no doubt that there is convergence happening through these various media”

Notes:

• Camera type: full frame with exposure bracketing and an 8mm circular fish eye lens.
• Bracketing: 7 exposures at 2 stops increments.
• Tripod: supporting 120 degrees locked offsets
• Camera angle: should point up 7.5 degrees for better sky or upper dome coverage.
• Camera focus: set and tape locked to manual
• Start shooting looking towards the sun direction with and without the ND3 filter; The other angles will not require the ND3 filter.
• Documenting shooting with a slate (measure distance to slate, day, location, camera info, camera temperature, camera position)

The challenge with precision limits in production is tightly connected to the context of the assets, camera and procedural requirements the render scene needs to support.
For example a far away camera chasing a plane may not reveal issues that the same scene may show with a far away camera’s closeup of a displaced water drop on the plane’s windshield.
This is a rough example, but it helps putting things in perspective.

Always best testing for specific patterns or targets within a given setup.
