Field notes
The guide advises that simple shapes and a single obvious light source work best; clutter can collapse into a dark mass in the first pass. It also describes where the later stages lose detail: sign text may become unreadable during Reflection, while Object can look nearly empty on a phone screen. The site says each stage runs in the browser, including on a slow connection.
