Photoreal

This is an addon for anybody who wants to get that extra 15-20% realism you just can't get without compositing. It incorporates many tricks the pros use - such as gate weave/flicker, lens artifacts, film grain, vignetting, and glare... all of it procedural! Blender is optimized to accurately render your scene with as few artifacts as possible. It turns out these are the exact things that make or break realism subliminally.
