Learn how I created this realistic macro animation in 5 minutes - I cover photogrammetry techniques, optimizing geometry, setting up adaptive displacement in Blender, adding extra detail, lighting tips, procedural animation for the ant, and general beginner friendly tips for more realistic renders. In the end I cover the final step to really push these macro renders to the next level.
