Lesson Details

Key learning points

Rendering is the process of generating high-quality images from a 3D scene or object.
Render engines should be chosen based on the requirements of the project.
Ray tracing simulates the way light interacts with objects and environments.
Rendered images and animations can be exported out of Blender.

Common misconception

The most detailed renders should always be produced.

Render engines and settings should be chosen with consideration to the requirements of the project. This may include considering factors such as time constraints and hardware limitations.

Keywords

Render - to generate high-quality images from a 3D model or scene by taking into account lighting, materials and other properties
Ray tracing - a rendering technique that creates realistic images by simulating the paths of light rays as they interact with objects in a scene
Export - to save image, animation, model or scene data in a file format that can be used by other software or applications
