Getting Started with Renderworks 2012
Written by Dan Jansenson, this guide uses three case studies as the underpinning for detailed, step-by-step tutorials. The intent is to convey the fundamental methods of texturing, lighting and rendering by describing the sequence of steps necessary to complete each rendering. Each section is divided into tasks, which are the organizing stepping stones of the process. A careful and methodical approach to these steps and tasks simplifies the process of preparing Renderworks renderings, and makes it easier to make adjustments and changes.
