Lesson details
Key learning points
- Rendering helps to enhance communication of design ideas.
- Rendering can be used to show colour, materials and textures.
Keywords
Render - to add details like shading, texture, and depth to a sketch to make it appear more realistic
Tone - the lightness or darkness of an area, which helps create a sense of dimension in the image
Depth - the illusion of distance or three-dimensional space on a flat surface
Texture - how something feels or looks like it would feel, if touched
Common misconception
Rendering is just adding tone.
Rendering should consider tone and depth but also the texture of the material the product is made out of.
