From Blank Canvas to Interior Render

Behind the Scenes: From Blank Canvas to Interior Render - A Step-by-Step Guide

Ever wonder what goes into creating those stunning interior renders you see online? It's more than just pressing a button! Today, I'm taking you behind the scenes to reveal the step-by-step process I follow, using the simple line drawing below as our starting point.

Step 1: The Vision - Concept and Inspiration

Every great render starts with a vision. For this project, let's imagine we're designing a modern, minimalist kitchen.

Inspiration Gathering: I'd start by scouting Pinterest, design blogs, and magazines for inspiration images. Think clean lines, natural materials, and a calming color palette.

Mood Board Creation: I'd compile these images into a mood board, along with material samples and color swatches. This helps solidify the overall aesthetic.

Step 2: From Line Drawing to 3D Model - Building the Space

Software Selection: For this, I'd use Procreate.

Extruding the Lines: Start with drawing the outline.

Adding Detail: I'd then begin adding more detail, like the thickness of the countertops, the reveal of the cabinet doors, and the profile of the baseboards.

Step 3: Materials and Textures - Bringing the Surfaces to Life

Material Library: I choose a wabi-sabi kitchen. Online I searched for materials and textures to make a wabi-sabi kitchen.

Step 4: Shadows - Setting the Mood and Atmosphere

Shadows and Reflections: Accurate shadows and reflections are crucial for realism. I'd carefully adjust these settings to ensure they complement the lighting and materials.

Step 5: Details

Don’t forget the details in your render, like water from the tap. It brings your render to life and more realistic.

The Final Result: After all these steps, the simple line drawing is transformed into a beautiful and realistic interior render. It's a testament to the power of 3D visualization and the creative process behind it.

This is just a glimpse into the world of interior rendering. Each project is unique and requires its own set of challenges and solutions. But hopefully, this step-by-step guide has given you a better understanding of the process and the artistry involved.
