If your image should not just be yet another cool illustration or catalogue asset, but an autonomous work – then it must tell some kind of story.Īn image is still. 💡 For artistic renders, this advice may be the most important of all. Not just for composition, but for more or less everything, like subject matter, mood-building, lighting, texture and colour schemes. 💡 Historical artworks, especially paintings, are the far by richest source of guiding examples. ⚡ For instruction and inspiration, study art history. This really is an iterative process, where you must accept trying out ideas in the rough, questioning the subject, perhaps adding something crazy, and sacrificing darlings in order to reach something better. To know your subject’s character, you need to explore combinations of objects, lighting, and storytelling. On the other hand, it is dangerous to become locked down too early on, before the subject matter has matured. If you switch perspective late in the process, you may have wasted considerable effort on details that did not matter. You need to perceive what is not yet there. 💡 Picking a good vantage point requires imagination, creativity and experience. ⚡ Assume a point of view – place the camera carefully and save it as a scene. If your goal is to produce one still, make up your mind. While it is certainly possible to make a rendering that looks equally good all around, this may take many times the effort, especially for outdoor scenes. 3d scenes are like film sets – perfect as seen from the camera, but outside of its view, there is stuff that if seen would immediately arrest believability. 💡 Most professional still renderings are a catastrophe when viewed from the subject and toward the camera. 🚩 With basic model preparations done, we next need a camera position.
