How to add your knowledge

Create Renderings

No headers

Generate a photorealistic image of a building model, and present the design to clients or share it with team members

NoteYou can perform the first 4 steps in any order.



Create 3D views.		Create an orthographic or perspective 3D view of the building model. To render a 2D view, create a 3D view that is oriented to an existing 2D view.



Change the appearance of materials.		Specify appearances for materials, and apply materials to model elements.



Add lights.		Define interior and exterior lights for the building model: If the rendered image will use artificial lights, add them to the building model. If the rendered image will use natural light, define sun settings.



Add plants and entourage.		To enhance the rendered image with realistic details, add decals, plants, and other entourage.



Define render settings.		Render settings control aspects of the rendered image, such as lighting and a background image.



Render the image.		Render the image. To improve the performance of the rendering process, follow best practices.



Refine the rendered image.		Rendering is often an iterative process that requires several attempts to achieve the desired results. Adjust lighting, exposure settings, and other parameters until the rendered image meets your needs.



Save the rendered Image.		When you are satisfied with the results, save the image as a project view or export it to a file.
