How often in the archvis industry do your renders need to blend with real-life photos? How often does your raw render just need that extra tweaking? Almost always.

The great render resolution debate.
There is a lot of debate on ‘render resolution size’, so I thought I’d reign in and let you know what resolutions we use at Burn.
The greatest render size myth of all being DPI.
DPI (Dots per inch) refers to printer/scanner hardware resolution. If a printer prints at 300 DPI then it prints 300 dots horizontally [...]
