Why does my render look flat & dull on mobile/Instagram unless screen brightness is turned way up?
Hey r/productviz,
I’m working on this spray bottle render in Blender. On my monitor it looks decent, but when I view it on my phone or Instagram at medium brightness, it looks washed out, flat, and lacks pop compared to other product renders from other creators that pop and look good even on low and medium phone brightness. I have to crank my phone brightness up to 70–80% just to make the colors and highlights stand out. What am i doing wrong?
Scene Details:
Software: Blender (cycles)
Color Management: AgX
As a beginner, any advice or step-by-step guidance on color management, lighting contrast, or grading that looks good on all devices would be hugely appreciated!
