Tm-1b White Rendering Basics in Twinmotion
About this Tutorial
This course is intended for first time Twinmotion or Rendering users. Self-taught users can also profit from these structures to consolidate essential concepts. We will create our first White Render in Rhino, continuing the Modeling work we made in Ri-0a. You will start to use Twinmotion to create outdoor and indoor renders of an architectural project while learning the basic skills you need to express it. Learn how to set the camera, environment, artificial lights and add white textures to create a clear and useful render for an architecture project.
