Today, Fox Renderfarm, the best could rendering service provider and render farm, will share with you a KeyShot 10 tutorial about how to render a perfume bottle. This tutorial is written by 3d Artist Joy, hope this article will help you in the KeyShot learning.IntroductionI am going to render a perfume bottle. The rendering software used is KeyShot. The model of this perfume and leaves are downloaded from the Internet. You can see that the final rendering effect is good. The overall tone of the picture is also very similar to the current season. In this tutorial, I will introduce how to render a beautiful caustics rendering with KeyShot.First, import the model, find a better angle to establish the camera and adjust the angle of view to make the product perform better.Second, set up the scene and start lighting.Third, assign materials to each part and adjust parameters.Finally, it is the adjustment of parameters such as hue, caustics and bloom.Process1. Import the model into the KeyShot renderer (contains a simple bottle and a plant).!KeyShot 10 Tutorial How to Render a Perfume Bottle2. Change the focal length to 135 to make the lens perspective smaller, which can reflect more product details.!KeyShot 10 Tutorial How to Render a Perfume Bottle3. Use the camera to find a better angle to better display the model and build the camera, as shown in the figure.!KeyShot 10 Tutorial How to Render a Perfume Bottle4. After fixing the camera, refer to the entire layout and the light and shadow and add some decorations. The geometric view is as follows.!KeyShot 10 Tutorial How to Render a Perfume Bottle5. Add a point light source, adjust the position of the point light source in the geometric view, create a comfortable and beautiful projection, and adjust the brightness of the point light source.!KeyShot 10 Tutorial How to Render a Perfume BottleNext, adjust the material of each part. The first is to adjust the material of the ground. I added a plastic material with a gloss of about 60, as shown in the picture.!KeyShot 10 Tutorial How to Render a Perfume Bottle7. Next, adjust the material of the leaves, pull the texture in and connect to the diffuse reflection of the leaves, and then adjust the colour with colour adjustment to make the colour of the leaves a little darker, in order to make the picture more layered, the node map is very simple, It was adjusted only after the test was modified, and the material was added.!KeyShot 10 Tutorial How to Render a Perfume Bottle8. Now adjust the material of the bottle cap. I gave it a solid glass texture and slightly adjusted a light colour, as shown in the picture.!KeyShot 10 Tutorial How to Render a Perfume Bottle9. Adjust the material of the bottle body, we can material the glass, change the colour to white, and check the refraction to make the bottle more three-dimensional and real, as shown in the figure below (remember to check the refraction).!KeyShot 10 Tutorial How to Render a Perfume Bottle10. Next, we can adjust the material of the bow. We can choose the metal that has been measured, the default value is gold, or we can use the colour control, depending on our choice, the gloss is adjusted to about 70. Next, adjust the material of the perfume in the bottle, material the liquid, adjust the colour, transparent distance and refractive index, and finally add a fractal shape on the bumps to make the perfume have undulations, and the mapped caustics effect is better. The node graph and The effect is as follows.!KeyShot 10 Tutorial How to Render a Perfume Bottle11. Adjust the material of the metal logo. The basic material is metal. Pull the texture in to make the logo truly reflect. Use shift to adjust the shifting height, offset and triangle size parameters. I also deliberately added a broken noise to the light and shadow to the liquid.!KeyShot 10 Tutorial How to Render a Perfume Bottle12. Find the appropriate hdr in the hdr library on the left, hold down ctrl and rotate the hdr with the left button until the projection is consistent with the projection of the spotlight. Adjust the parameters in the lighting, turn on the global illumination, caustics, etc., to make the picture tones look better and the caustics effect better.!KeyShot 10 Tutorial How to Render a Perfume Bottle13. Continue colouring, change the basic setting to photography, adjust the parameters, turn on bloom, adjust the intensity, radius and threshold, so that there are some halos in the picture and increase the beauty of details.!KeyShot 10 Tutorial How to Render a Perfume Bottle14. Open the depth of field, set the focus and aperture, and the relevant parameters are shown in the figure below. After the adjustment, the picture can be produced, and the picture is finally rendered, and the final effect picture is as shown in the figure.!KeyShot 10 Tutorial How to Render a Perfume Bottle

As the leading cloud rendering service provider and render farm, Fox Renderfarm, will show how to make a car rendering fog scene. The scene uses an already-built car scene. In the picture below, a bunch of white light produces some smog, or a sly beam, but this is added in photoshop, so it looks a bit Rigid, lacking some changes, it looks a bit fake.!To Make A Car Rendering Fog Scene With KeyShot 8 -1 Compare the effect of direct use of KeyShot 8 new material scattering medium, it is still natural. And test a variety of parameters, lighting, the final effect may be better, at present, a bit slow. !To Make A Car Rendering Fog Scene With KeyShot 8 -2 Below are some tests for some lighting collocation parameters.In the shadow channel rendered in the figure below, this shadow channel is the effect of using a HDR+ plane self-luminous + scattering medium. It can be seen that the fog effect is not obvious, there is a little bit, of course, with the scattering medium parameter density and visibility related.!To Make A Car Rendering Fog Scene With KeyShot 8 -3Below is the rendering of the initial production. No render farm has been used yet, so as you can see, there is basically no effect, and there is no real beauty at all. So next, you need to adjust the parameters and lighting mix to continue testing. !To Make A Car Rendering Fog Scene With KeyShot 8 -4 Next, test the spotlight and use a spotlight to illuminate it from the entrance. Everyone should have seen the spotlight on the stage. When the light is shining, you can see the light flowing under the light. This is to achieve this effect. As the image shown above, we need to increase the density and visibility of the scattering medium material, and set the color of the spotlight to yellow. At this time, the smoke generated by the scattering medium will also be affected by the spotlight and turn yellow. Then look at the rendered shadow channel map. As the picture shown below, !To Make A Car Rendering Fog Scene With KeyShot 8 -5 !To Make A Car Rendering Fog Scene With KeyShot 8 -6 Let's take a look at the final rendering comparison chart. Original image as below:!To Make A Car Rendering Fog Scene With KeyShot 8 -7 HDR+ plane self-illumination + scattering medium, the rendering:!To Make A Car Rendering Fog Scene With KeyShot 8 -8The KeyShot 8 scattering media material, with different lights, may have unexpected effects. Another feeling is that the scattering medium will affect the light receiving of the surrounding objects, and it also meets the influence of the fog environment on the visibility of the object in the real environment. In order to make the picture more realistic, it is recommended to use the best Keyshot render farm to make the effect more realistic.

After that, the fingerprint texture is connected to the label, and the texture is used as the color of the texture. Here, the brightness must be adjusted, and it should be reduced as much as possible to make the fingerprint faintly visible.!KeyShot 9 Tutorial Christmas Scene Rendering 15Use scratched maps, adjust the contrast with color, and control the transparency effect on the glass.

The length of the fluff where the texture is black is 0. After the geometry node is re-executed, the fluff will not pass through the model.The curtain can use the color gradient node. Change the gradient type to the viewing direction to enhance the volume of the curtain fabric. The background wall is not easy to be too dark or too bright, otherwise the background is too eye-catching and will destroy the atmosphere of the scene.!KeyShot 9 Tutorial Christmas Scene Rendering 21The use of glass as the texture of the candle's wrapping paper can reduce the refractive index to make the texture of transparent plastic wrapping paper.
