i'm a complete noobie and i have been trying to learn with great difficulty due to lack of comprehensive teaching and learning material, but making due with any and all videos i can come across and understand i have created this first trial scene just to see if what i learned is correct or not.
what i have included in this post is the tgd file the node network, the 3d view and the rendered image, what i'm hopping for is to understand what or where i went wrong to have the rendered image look so differently from the 3d render, thank you in advance to anyone who can help me to understand this program, i come from a photography and Photoshop back ground so this field of 3d rendering is all new to me and i have no idea how to make heads or tails of it. my eventual goal is to be able to render some background to use in my Photoshop work.
