A pole-topper programme for Jim Beam's Chiefs partnership, staged and lit through twelve build passes.
Blocking first
The build history runs v0 to v12 — twelve files labelled Blocking before anything called BeautyRender. The R1 passes are that scene being staged: forms placed, proportions argued, nothing lit yet.
Then the light
R2 is a single 4K beauty render off camera 01. One camera, because by then there was only one thing left to decide.
Where it lands
Pole toppers live at fifteen feet in the middle of a crowd, so the render has to read at a glance and survive being looked up at.
