I've finished
the job of putting materials onto everything (above) and
am ready to get the computer to 'render' the scene. Rendering
is the
process of getting your computer to convert all your hard
work in modelling, texturing and lighting into a finished
bit of art. You leave the computer to do this on it's own,
and it can take a lot of time.
How much time, depends on a
whole lot of things, like for example, how fast your computer
is, how many objects are in the scene,
how complex those objects are, how many lights are used in
the scene, and how big you want the final image to be. To
render this image big enough for, say, a half-page magazine
illustration
would take my computer about 10 hours. |
