## How to take great AkiSketch render shots!

Do the Render Studio settings feel complicated?

Don't worry! You can take stunning render shots like an interior designer too.\
We can create results that look like an interior magazine spread too!\
Now, shall we try following along lightly?

## Get a feel for it by taking a shot first

Just follow the settings below and the basic quality is guaranteed.\
Don't worry too much—just start by taking a shot!\
Once you get the hang of it, fine-tuning will be much easier.

#### 1. Field of view

* Try shooting with the default first. (Default: 60)

#### If it's hard to see because it's blocked by a wall or front furniture?

{% hint style="info" %}
If you raise the field of view too much to capture the whole space at a glance, distortion will become severe! Use the camera clip to cut out the obstructing parts!
{% endhint %}

![After (Camera clip applied)](/files/2e4c0845beaaf12bc1e1e53ca12f7e5318e41649)

#### 2. Camera angle/height

* Set the camera angle to 0 degrees, no exceptions!
* Set it between 900 and 1200mm. (This height is the most suitable for interior shots!)

If you've followed along well, you'll be able to see a Before & After like the one below 🌝

Doesn't the composition look much more stable? 🤩

## Solving brightness problems

You've set everything, but you're still not happy with the brightness?\
Don't worry!\
By slightly adjusting the lighting and background settings, you can get results that are much more natural and beautiful.

#### If it's too bright and glaring?

* **Background image**Try changing it.
  * The default setting (NONE) is the brightest because it's a white background.
  * Choose a background image to add a more realistic mood.

![Background: None](/files/0d795578b5813216c304356cadd4ecdcadd41925)

![Background: City 2](/files/97b5fd0e8b6571f0b8317a91587d8b19ce44a55e)

* **Environment setting intensity**Lower it.
  * If you lower the brightness of the background image, the indoor brightness will also go down.

#### If it's too dark and the mood feels gloomy?

* **Try increasing the additional lighting intensity.**
  * In fact, there are hidden lights in Render Studio! (Default intensity: 20)
  * Want more brightness? Crank up the intensity and test it!

![](/files/1f4a3388573feeedc078d6ac94aa809e436b16ab)

* **Bring sunlight into the room.**

  * When sunlight comes in through the window, the room becomes brighter.
  * Tip: Change the month to December or January, then adjust the sunlight angle and the sunlight will come into the house more easily.
  * Recommended intensity: 0.3\~1.0 (If it's too strong, it can become overly bright, so find an appropriate intensity.)

{% hint style="info" %}
Rendering Tip!

**When it's too bright**

Add a background image

Lower the environment setting intensity

**When it's dark**

Increase the additional lighting intensity

Let sunlight in

Furniture reflected in mirrors or reflective surfaces **4K or higher resolution**You can check it when rendering.
{% endhint %}

Now, you too can take stunning render shots like a pro!

Take a shot first, then make adjustments to find the best result. Practice is the answer when it comes to rendering!
