Features: This book is written for industrial design professionals, industrial design students, and those interested in product design rendering. The authors have taught product design rendering techniques in various companies, design schools, and social organizations. This book can be said to have been written in response to the strong demand from the aforementioned individuals, despite the authors' busy schedules. It briefly introduces the principles of perspective and presents various rendering techniques frequently used by designers through step-by-step illustrations of hand-drawn renderings. While focusing on the final rendering process, the book also covers conceptual sketches and preliminary renderings to give readers a general understanding of the process of conceptualizing, developing, comparing, and refining design forms. To suit self-study for students and beginners, the book not only introduces product design rendering techniques but also explains the relevant principles, rules, and basic knowledge of perspective drawing. To improve product design rendering techniques, practice is more important than simply mastering theoretical knowledge, so it is essential to actively engage in hands-on exercises. The rendering techniques introduced in this book are just a few examples. We hope that everyone can create more innovative product design rendering techniques based on their own technical strengths.
