Spider Bot rendered in Iray with Substance Painter (Patreon)

I've discovered that we can render images directly in Substance Painter using NVIDIA Iray! There's a wide choice of HDRIs and a ton of settings,  including a one-click depth of field option (ALT + Middle Mouse  Button). 

This was my first attempt, with a little bit of postwork in  Photoshop applied to the spider bot. He looked a bit dark and didn't  stand out from the dreary landscape (Canopus Ground according to the  HDRI), so I used the Object Selection tool, then applied a white drop  shadow and adjusted the direction towards the light source. A tad of  dodge and he looks like a million dollars - no round-trip into an  external render engine necessary. 

I can't wait to explore this Substance  feature more!
