This is an interesting statement.. I find a lot of my beginning 3D students do
not have a good idea of what their scene is supposed to look like. A lot of
their renders have a “sameness” as well, as they have no real idea of
composition, lighting, etc. This comes from a) never having done any kind of
serious photography and b) expecting the computer to somehow make up for this
lack of knowledge.
I’m thinking of having my students actually light and photograph a real object
and then try to duplicate the image in a render.. Anyone ever try that exercise
with LEGO CAD? Do you think this would be helpful, or maddening?
