Getting Started RENDERING in Blender - Rendering Beginners START HERE!

In this video, we kick off our series on creating renderings inside of Blender. This first video will introduce you to rendering, how to access the rendering settings in Blender, and how to create a simple first rendering.
In the future, I'll be adding videos talking about different concepts having to do with Blender rendering, including lighting, materials, maps, and much more!

Hi everyone! I'm really excited to kick off this series about rendering in Blender! Leave a comment below if you have any questions! :)

Quick tip for comparing renders: Instead of fiddling around with screenshots, you can just in hit the 2 Key in Renderview to switch to another renderslot before you render the second image. It will then be rendered to that slot and you can quickly switch between them with the 1 and 2 keys.

Boy oh boy im loving this series, man you're born to teach, u never fail to properly explain something to a person who has nooo idea and also a person who has a slight idea, and this goes through out all ur vids 👌👌👌👌👌

[@TheCGEssentials]

Thanks very much - glad you're liking it! :)

Again, really really useful stuff. I've been watching a lot of diff content creators doing Blender tutes, and yours are def the best. Thanks again so much.

[@abledog006]

Thank you Justin for giving a simple breakdown of this process. Looking forward to diving into the next 4 vids in this series!!

[@thomasliokos5591]

Great video explaining the basics of getting into scene and how to start with rendering.

[@mattfr11]

Thank you for this. I have been watching your SketchUp videos and have learned so much. Blender is next.

[@TheCGEssentials]

Hey - me too! I love 3-D :)

[@davidwhite280]

I was struggling with setting up camera for different scences but this has help 100% Thank you again.

Your videos are great. Very helpful and nicely explained. Thankyou

A lot of good information in this video. I will keep reviewing thank you.

excellent. thank you

[@ar.tanvir660]

Thank you for the tutorials of SketchUp. I am so happy to see the Blender tutorials. Can we have few skp import render in Blender videos?

[@TheCGEssentials]

Yeah - I think I want to do a little series on this - thanks!

[@claremckechnie5623]

As always a very informative video, thankyou.

[@oratobe]

Man I love what you're doing. MAY GOD REWARD YOU SIR!... I have learnt a lot about sketchup through you... Pls I really do love it if you have a channel for 3DsMax. Just my thought!

[@TheCGEssentials]

Probably not - I currently have 4 channels - a fifth would be...a lot

Can you please tell where did you get the LED light object from? I really need that. Thankyou

[@addpuppets9326]

I was kind of expecting sampling and denoising explained in this tutorial

[@socrates112]

Awesome tutorial.

[@TheCGEssentials]

Thanks!

[@brandonnorris1026]

You know that there is a 3 point lighting addon and if that fails you can just use an environment background, point the background image to the world folder in your blender install directory for the native hdr images that material preview uses.

[@brandonnorris1026]

Just saying, instead of a 3 plane setup, kind of time consuming

[@TheCGEssentials]

I mean, you could do this if you wanted to - I didn't find the 3 plane setup hard to do at all...

How do I move the render square in 2.90

[@TheCGEssentials]

Move your camera?

[@jayveneracion42]

I just wanna ask is how i can post my work using blender coz i cant post it i need to screenshot to post it

[@limtless232]

Hi thank you so much for the video! I'm stuck at something, Did my first Low Poly in Blender, works fine in render mode but it's a plain black screen while rendering and after render! Can anyone help me?

[@TheCGEssentials]

Did you add a light?

[@nicolebry1120]

Make sure you’re rendering from the right camera!

[@MindChamber]

is there no way to target camera? swiping around to move your camera seems really cumbersome.. is there no way to 'Orbit'?

[@TheCGEssentials]

I don't fully understand the question, but this is a collection of the best ways I've found to move your camera around - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqe7oIafi5uMqK8

[@thcyprus]

Hey Justin, I am mostly using Sketchup for architectural modeling and rendering (using Enscape mostly). Do you think that Blender is good for this type of work? I like how Sketchup is intuitive and precise with measurements and seems to be aimed more for architecture than Blender, but on the other hand Blender is Free, has better performance and it should handle bigger models easier. What are your thoughts?

[@TheCGEssentials]

Depends - if you're just rendering maybe. It doesn't seem to be the best out of the box for precision modeling for plan creation

[@thcyprus]

@@TheCGEssentials Thanks! This was my initial conclusion also, but I wondered if this could change as I learned blender better.

[@StefanoVerugi]

Hi, Blender is moving very fast If I were you I’d stick to it, it’s a bit frustrating when you start using it but you can get most of SU modelling in a far more diverse environment With this course it’s much easier, thanks to Justin Other thing is SU LayOut, I’m not sure you can have it in Blender just yet

[@TheCGEssentials]

@@StefanoVerugi This is correct - nothing is really built into Blender for the actual exporting and printing of plans. Thanks!

[@VaikManukyan]

@@TheCGEssentials hava a look at this kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3mqZKSEn7NkgZY

[@durucan1290]

at 4:04 how did you open that tabs?

[@palavoyz]

I need help I tried the one you told about the camera using lock to camera view and i pressed numlock 0 to go to camera and render but my render is different from my camera view it is way further than on my actual camera view.

[@emmelinaabuda1063]

It was a bit late when I realized that I need to install the add-ons. There are also icons on the right side that I am missing. As a complete beginner, is there any tutorial that will help me update my blender? Thank you in advance.

[@TheCGEssentials]

Add-ons for what? I don't think there was anything in this video that required add-ons...

Hi. Gr8 vid.. I'm hitting the render button on ma stl model and it's rendering except its rendering really zoomed in. I got the model centred on screen its only renderinga small really zoomed part ofthemodel. Any help pls

[@TheCGEssentials]

Sounds like you didn't actually position your actual camera, just your view in the 3D viewport. You need to actually move your camera so it's looking at whatever you want to render

[@andreahlavatova1769]

Hi, when I tap zero it is doesnt work for me?

great tutorial, I am trying to simulate hoe a Lithophance with work. using a stl of a lithophane keychain, however, even with I use transparency and or used downloaded transparent plastic the lithophane is not showing up as it should. can you help me?

[@TheCGEssentials]

That's pretty advanced for a beginner. You should probably go post somewhere like Blender Artists and see if anyone has some advice for you
