Setting Up Your Scene

Back to Creating, Editing, and Rendering Still Scenes.

Scene Setup
Properly setting up your scenes is a crucial step in the process of creating good renders. Of course, you don't have to start here, but creating a good backdrop for your characters and other objects will make your renders look more realistic, look proportional to the environment, and serve as undergirding for the experience you are attempting to communicate, be it mood, feeling, or information.

Scene setup includes:


 * Actions in the Assembly Room:
 * Changing the scene magnification (small, medium, or large)
 * Adding atmospheric effects and background images
 * Setting ambient lighting effects (e.g., ambient lighting)
 * Adding scene filters, such as 3D aura and glare
 * Other animation settings, such as the use of physics and speeds of camera and objects
 * Actions in the Render Room:
 * Selecting and setting Global Illumination
 * Selecting the use of Caustics
 * Setting Motion Blur effects
