Why take this tutorial
White Modeling its a good first step to dive into the wide and big world of rendering. Its very useful for showing an idea and gives a clearly image of the space. Rendering its a big and deep world, full of settings and programs that will help you to achieve a more detailed image, here we want to teach the basics, that are also useful to present a project, so you can already use it in your work. Its just a first taste of a deep world to maybe later grow it into a full knowledge and specialization.
