How to render keyshot with texture?

Texture is rendered to make it more realistic. Here are some tips to improve realistic rendering of key points:

Scene setting

Create a simple scene on the table-some fruit, a plate, a bottle of water, some shoes, some envelopes and newspapers, or put a bottle of ink next to the perfume bottle, some gold-plated or chrome-plated items. In short, put some object types that may be used in future work.

Lighting arrangement

Let's decorate the lights. First, simply put a spotlight (like the lamp on your desk or the light on the Pixar sign) to make him stand out in the dark. Try to use only one spotlight in the scene, illuminating from different directions.

Try to take a simple photo from these angles (with a mobile phone or a quasi-professional camera). Of course, you can also use a mirror to reflect the spotlight, creating a wonderful reflection effect of glass bottles. If you look at the scene carefully, you will find that the reflection of glass is as much as that of gold objects and chrome objects. Take a photo of the scene.

Why are you doing this? Because Keyshot is like a digital camera, we open Keyshot and recreate the same scene-the same object and model.

Using the same dynamic map of HDRI to make HDRI, you can add a shot in Photoshop to dazzle the center of the black background, and then save it as a 32-format HDRI image. Add the image to the Keyshot environment library, and then double-click to add it to the scene. Try to achieve a similar effect to the real environment of a single spotlight in the room (it would be better if the same HDRI lighting effect could be made in the room).

For example, gold objects are all the same. I found a lot of lipstick packages to study its characteristics. As you know, the lipstick bottle is not real gold. It was painted with gold paint on plastic. I photographed the lipstick bottle, and then made a golden paint material based on it in Keyshot, and then I used it all the time. Of course, its effect will change with the change of HDRI. We can dim the light, but the gold paint works well.

Keyshot is very accurate, but it should be used as little as possible-just like a red car can never be 100% red. Take a photo and import it into Photoshop to analyze its color. You will be surprised to find that in most cases, the red car is brown. This means that we can adjust the required material based on the material of Keyshot and add our own understanding of the material.

So when a customer needs to render a car, you should prepare the materials you need, which is much more efficient than starting from scratch.

Every material should have a certain degree of reflection, even if it is a car tire, even an inconspicuous reflection will make your scene look more real.

Refer to the real world before setting the scene, and you can view pictures of similar items online.

Have a certain understanding of photography technology. Keyshot is like a digital camera. Only by understanding the principle of photography can we get better rendering effect.

Create your own HDRI map with Photoshop.

Copy the works on the excellent graphic design station on the Internet, and try to copy the excellent rendering effect of others.

Try to convert the HDRI map of highly reflective objects, such as chrome-plated metal, and choose the correct HDRI map for highly reflective objects.

Every material has a certain concave-convex feeling, even chrome-plated metal, glass, car paint or mirror. Even if there is only 0.000000000 1% bump, your scene will be more realistic.

The shading cloud rendering platform already supports keyshot rendering, so it is more convenient and faster to submit cloud rendering.
