Goals
- Import a 2D drawing into a Blender project to apply materials, textures, lights to it, then generate a photo-realistic rendering with the Cycles rendering engine and integrate it into a static photograph Sanction:
Program
Why use Cycles as a rendering engine and Blender as a modeling and post-production tool after drawing in AutoCAD?
Which format to use to export your drawing
Prepare the AutoCAD drawing
Import the drawing into Blender
Apply the origins to the objects
Workshop: choice of format and export from AutoCAD. Import into Blender
