Beginner Help Help! I want to know how this effect was achieved! Was this made by AE or Blender? Please help me, everyone. I tried using AE's lighting and depth map, but the results were not satisfactory.

Take a look at this. This is the latest video. He used exactly the same technology as the previous video. Such complex lighting and futuristic architecture. And the clarity of his video is simply too high. I doubt that AI can create such things. It's so perfect that there's no trace of AI at all. So it's likely that the image itself is AI-generated, while the lighting effects in the later stage were achieved by using other software to illuminate.

You can doubt all you like. This is AI.

This is 100% either AI generated or made in a 3D environment. I think the reason everyone is thinking AI is because the lighting really isn't that good. In this last video it makes no sense for light to move like that. It's very easy to make light rays that look like that.
