Rendering in AutoCAD More Than Just a Pretty Picture CADLearning Technical Publishing Manager and AutoCAD Subject-Matter Expert Have you ever wished that you could create professional-looking renderings? This capability has been available for many years, but AutoCAD 2016 introduces an entirely new rendering engine along with simplifi ed tools that make it easier than ever before to create photo-realistic renderings in AutoCAD. In my class More than a Pretty Picture: Photorealistic Rendering Techniques in AutoCAD, you will learn how to convert your 3D AutoCAD models into fi nished, photorealistic renderings using tools already built into AutoCAD. I will show you how to use the lighting, material, and rendering tools to place and control lights, add and adjust materials and textures, and control the surrounding model environment to produce eye-catching images. I will teach you how to produce reusable models of light fi xtures that behave like the real thing, and you will learn how to create your own custom materials. I will also explain how to use Autodesk’s cloud-based rendering service. I will even show you how move through 3D models and create rendered animations right inside AutoCAD. 18 www.cadlearning.com
