Part 8: Anatomy of a Rendering
The next set of component details to be added defines a specific scene, in this case, a café 
(Fig. 35.17 through Fig. 35.27). The entire scene is constructed from various components 
obtained from FormFonts and 3D Warehouse. Although many if not most interior design 
scenes include custom elements, forms, and objects, the goal of these illustrations is to 
highlight how a complete interior scene can be constructed using components for these
two sources.
Fig. 35.18: 
The inner walls that compose the scene should be placed on their own lay-
ers, separate from the exterior building walls. Separating the interior walls provides bet-
ter control for evaluation and object placement. In addition, the interior context details 
added in the previous steps should be shunted onto their own layers that correspond to 
the detailed interior cafe scene.
Fig. 35.17: 
New layers are 
added to the model. These 
layers will contain the various 
interior details to be used. 
One of the layers is called 
00 - Building Inner Walls.
