Features: This book is specifically dedicated to teaching 3D rendering techniques. It provides a detailed introduction to the application steps, methods, and tips of two major renderers—Lightscape and Chinese V-Ray—used in both interior and exterior rendering. For the effects of parameters such as materials, lighting, and rendering that beginners often find challenging, as well as Lightscape rule-based modeling issues, the book conducts extensive experiments, demonstrations, and analyses. The book is rich in examples, with thorough explanations and detailed steps, enabling readers to quickly and solidly master the key techniques and methods of the two renderers. The book is divided into two parts. The first part introduces Lightscape, covering 7 chapters on the interface, models, lighting, materials, rendering, and two complete rendering examples. The second part introduces V-Ray, covering 6 chapters on V-Ray functions, materials, lighting, rendering, and two complete rendering examples, including a supplementary CD-ROM. This book is a culmination of years of experience from professionals, featuring key highlights, ease of understanding, and practical relevance. It is suitable for environmental art design, architectural design, urban planning, and training self-study for rendering personnel. It can also serve as a teaching and supplementary textbook for relevant courses in universities.
