No, I was talking about something different than the clipping bug. There are steps to take to keep the clipping bug at bay. Search the forum for the clipping bug.

@valerostudio said: Being a better rendering artist is so much more. It's about understanding the art and not so much the software or technique. I would say that it more important to understand good composition and light balance than to know how to use an HDRI or what Fresnel is. The software tricks is something that should come later. Grab a sketch book and some watercolor paint and go today and draw something. So many of us on here are stuck behind the mouse we lose the artistic side of things and get hung up on bump mapping and Photoshop layers. Thank you for your insight!
