Part 8: Anatomy of a Rendering
Fig. 39.10: 
The output resolution is increased to 1280 
n
720. This resolution will be used for the remainder of the 
drafts leading to the final. The second draft render is ready to be run.
Fig. 39.11: 
The second render is completed. The base textures look fine. The image is ready to move to the next 
steps and run more detailed renderings.

Chapter 39: The Iterative Rendering Process for Exterior Scenes
Fig. 39.12: 
The building roof will be turned off for the next renders. The angle of the rendering 
will not show that the roof is off. Turning the roof off will allow light to stream into the building, 
lighting up the interior and providing greater context and detail for the rendering. The top image 
shows the building roof off. The roof layer will have to be turned off when the specific scene tab is 
selected, and the scene needs to be updated to remember the setting.

Part 8: Anatomy of a Rendering
Fig. 39.13: 
Using the Shaderlight Background option, an image background will be inserted to ren-
der with the scene.
Fig. 39.15: 
The site details except vegetation are toggled on. Interior context detail is toggled on as 
well. The render settings for resolution and quality are unchanged from the previous draft.
Fig. 39.14: 
The Background Brightness needs to be 
set so the selected background image renders with 
the correct exposure. This setting affects only the 
background image inserted into the rendering in the 
previous step.
