ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to construct a template for 3D Modeling to be used as the drawing window for further rendering 3D solid models. It introduces the use of the Render tools in producing photographic-like images of 3D solid models. The chapter show how to illuminate a 3D solid model to obtain good lighting effects when rendering. It give examples of the rendering of 3D solid models. The chapter introduce the idea of assigning materials to 3D solid models in order to obtain a realistic appearance to a rendering. It also aims to demonstrate the use of the forms of shading available using Visual Styles shading and to demonstrate methods of printing rendered 3D solid models. The chapter provides an example of the use of a camera. 3D model drawings are constructed in the acadiso3D.dwt template. The template is based on the 3D Modeling workspace.
