Ready to create your first render?
With all the basics covered, it's time to create your very first image render. See how easy it is to combine different rendering effects and capture the perfect composition.
Image composition: In addition to the rule of thirds, try using leading lines to naturally guide the viewer’s eye to key elements in the scene. The symmetrical placement of focal points can create a sense of balance, while framing your subject with surrounding elements adds depth and makes the scene feel more immersive.
Effect stack: Effects can significantly enhance your image. A great way to start is by choosing from the available custom styles and then adding more from there. This will make your workflow faster and more effective.
