This is an overview of setting up an Environment for Rendering in Blender. Intended for RMIT U ID students, the recording is a general overview for Footwear Studio students.

The model is from Gravity Sketch VR and was imported into Blender. The Rock is from Quixel Megascans, HDRI is from Poly Haven, and the cameras are set up with Easy Camera.
