Rendering and Presentation
High-quality rendered images are the main ingredient of a good 3D modeling project presentation, and to produce good quality renders, there are a number of conditions and settings that need to be adjusted properly. It is like setting the scene before taking the picture. After the scene is set, we will cover the details of creating a rendered image, and after that, we will take a quick look at exchanging other file formats for 3D models.
In this chapter, the following scene-setting aspects will be covered, each in a dedicated section:
- Setting the lighting of a scene
- Displaying shadows
- Applying and viewing materials
- Creating cameras
- Rendering scenes
- Importing and exporting 3D files
By the end of this chapter, you will have a strong knowledge of 3D visualization and the rendering tools of AutoCAD. You will be able to apply materials and textures, set a scene, and render your drawings with close to photorealistic results...
