3D rendering: applications and advantages

3D rendering plays a crucial role in our daily life and it has a big impact in different sectors like architecture, design, cinema and videogames. The possibility to create realistic images to the smallest detail from 3D digital models allows companies and real estate agencies to visualize projects, products and spaces in a more precise and captivating way even before they have been built. This improves not only communication with customers, but it also allows to optimize project processes saving time and minimizing resources.

What is 3D rendering?

3D rendering allows creating realistic 2D images starting from 3D digital models. It allows creating images similar to reality and digitally visualizing projects that have not been built yet. This process is crucial in the field of computerized graphics and it can be used in many sectors like architecture, interior design, advertising and entertainment. Thanks to the 3D rendering interior designers can present to their customers accurate visualizations of their drawings down to the smallest detail making it easier to take decisions and make modifications.

How does 3D rendering work?

The 3D rendering process is made up of different key stages; in each of them specific software and advanced techniques are used:

  • Creation of the object or model: using 3D modeling programs like AutoCAD, Blender or 3ds Max the digital model of the object or of the scene to render can be created.
  • Adding Texture and material: textures and materials are applied to the model to simulate the physical appearance. This includes details like color, reflection and transparency.
  • Light setting: scene lighting can be set considering light sources, shadows and reflections to create a realistic lighting effect.
  • Final rendering: the rendering software calculates and creates the final image combining all the elements mentioned above to produce an image or a photoreal video.

3D rendering applications

3D renderings can be used in many sectors each of them characterized by different requirements and specific goals:

  • Architecture and interior design: used to create realistic visualizations of houses, buildings and interiors allowing customers to see the projects down to the smallest detail before construction.
  • Entertaining: in films and videogames a 3D rendering is used to create detailed characters and spaces increasing realism and immersion.
  • Advertising and marketing: helps in creating captivating images and videos for advertising campaigns which show products in a realistic way.
  • Product design: used to create a prototype and view new products, making it easier to make modifications and improvements before the actual production.
