Rendering with Rhino & Keyshot

Description

This course is all about taking your knowledge of Rhino and pushing you to create photorealistic renderings using Keyshot. Rhino has a multitude of tools for adding the small details needed to make a believable rendering. In this course, you will also learn what details can be added in Keyshot like texture maps, transparencies, labels, and materials. On top of these model details, Keyshot has a wealth of lighting and rendering options that will enhance realism and make your design pop.

While Rhino does include rudimentary rendering options within the program, to really make your 3d models sing it’s crucial to learn how to render them using Keyshot. This course add-on will show you how to prepare your model for easy importing into Keyshot, plus more advanced techniques like importing in-scene lights made in Rhino and creating a path for an animated camera.
