Rendering Factors

? Things that affect renderings.....

HAREWARE - Graphics are set to advanced if they can handle it. - Done in the background when you install CET - Simple mode will not allow you to do all functions like product lighting

GOOD GRAPHICS CARDS - system requirements found on our website, the boys are the techies (Branden, Nick, Ben) - Control Panel has a graphics tab, tells you if you meet our minimum requirement and if

not directs you to a recommended link to click on for your update. - there is such a things as `to new'

GOOD GRPAHICS/IMAGES/JPEGS- (high dpi suggested 300 or any HD quality) change in Photoshop or another design

software

Ghosting

? Ghosting Tip: Using Sketchup people & make them ghosted so it's more "designer" in your layout ? Turning them gray before with edit graphics will keeps end users eyes focused on the furniture ? Gives a sense of height and perspective in your rendering

Advanced rendering settings

? Factors: finish color and quality make a huge difference. ? Must have fully enclosed space around your area, make extra large for moving around. Must have solid

ceiling or ceiling grid, a window and day light attached to window. Save as favorite. ? Glossy floor effect:

? Turn up specular and reflection ? way in material before you apply color (white) ? Basic settings to start with:

? Rendering mode: set to natural light ? Render quality: normal or higher ? HDR (high dynamic range): always on ? Anti-alias (crisp-ness): anything from 9x or greater ? Image dimensions: on 1024x768 or higher is HD quality ? View mode: optional ? Lighting & Shadows: natural light defaults when you select it at the very top under rendering

mode. MUST `enable realtime lights' and then you can play around with total, sunlight and camera. Good starting point would be: Total= 50/Sunlight= 30/ Camera=30 ? Emissive background: is the blend of walls and floor (works best if same color) ? Shadow direction of the sun: TIP...the blue square is you and the dark line coming from the center is the shadow. Directly above this is considered high-noon. ? Ghosting: must turn on, then select ghosts ? Background: adds weight to rendering , presets in CET Designer or you can load your own. Image quality is key! ? Tips ? If you do an advanced rendering and then go back to do a product light rendering you will want to click on normal then click back on product ? Save as a preset for future use

3D vs. Photo in paper space

? Using 3D views verses Photo in paper space: ? Once you have done an advanced rendering your light settings (found on the 3D tab) will be low or zero causing a black 3D view in paper space.

? Fix: go into your 3D tab, click on light settings, and pull global lighting up

Sketchup look

? Sketchup look using simple mode ? 1st create normal or product light rendering, save ? 2nd create contour rendering keeping same angle as 1st step, save ? 3rd go back to 1st and watermark the contour on top, turning down ONLY the opacity, save

? TIP: turn off floor or make it shiny white so you loose edges

3D Perspective

? Perspective view in PhotoLab ? Click in the 3D view in PhotoLab and click on perspe
