Learn how to make eye-catching, beautiful images
This course is not about what buttons to push or complex render settings. It's for beginners and advanced users. These concepts even work for all render engines!
I have taught thousands of people how to use KeyShot. But knowing a software doesn't guarantee a strong image. Art direction is about style, taste, emotion, balance, harmony, narrative and more.
We use art direction to make an image beautiful and effective. It's all about intention.
