Illumination Tutorial for Industrial/ Product/ Furniture Design. This tutorial was created by the Florence Design Academy.
On the F.D.A. gallery ( you can see a few examples of designs of our students who have used this technique. Since our students need a effective way to display their concepts and ideas, our teachers have developed many tutorials in order to give them an additional tool that every designer should have. This tutorial explains all steps to illuminate an object with a technique which simulates the illumination techniques of a photo studio.
Before we begin it is very important to inform you that we will use "Mental Ray" as render engine (version 8 and 9 of 3D Studio Max). Mental Ray is a very stable render engine and it allows you to have very realistic renderings. TUTORIALS - architectural rendering and illustration blog. A lot of people have been asking me how I create my renderings.
Since I am finished with grad school, I decided to develop some tutorials that explain techniques I used throughout architecture school. Many of the techniques only require Sketchup and Photoshop. Others later on will be a little more advanced and involve rendering programs that can be downloaded for free. .
Vray.
