Details, by Leo Bonilla

Past featured artist, industrial designer, teacher, and V-Ray  for Rhino user talks about the importance of details in photorealistic renderings and shares some of his V-Ray images.

The whole of an image is a set of details situated strategically to create a sense of realism.

During the “Expresion V” class at the University Icesi, I teach a subject that is very important in the product design presentations: Details.

Details are a critical part of a high quality, realistic product image. I use the V-Ray for Rhino renders below to show my students that the details in material, lighting, shadows and contrast are just as important as the geometric aspects. By adding these visual properties, the image becomes a set of strategically placed details that create a sense of realism.
