Blender: Product rendering for beginners

In this course, you will get an understanding of light and how to light your products in Blender.

3D modeling is so much more than just creating a 3D model. We need to be able to represent our models as well. This is done with rendering. Without Lights in your scene, your renders will be nothing more than a dark sad square. So start now and learn all about lighting your 3D models and be proud of your renders!
