Q&A
How long have you used Shot before you made these pictures?
A couple of these pictures were made within the first week of having Shot. After learning about Shot from a friend here at work, I obtained the demo and less than 15 minutes after bringing in the first model; I had the best looking rendering I had ever made. I would spend countless hours making renderings in Pro/E, which could be created in a very short time with Shot.
What did you use before Shot?
I mainly used the default rendering package in Pro Engineer. Tried other software as well, but Shot was the most user friendly.
What do you like most about Shot?
What sold me was the ability to create a nice rendering in a short amount of time. I sometimes get request for renderings without much time to do them and Shot allows me to do this easily. Also, among other things, I like the thought of coming back a few months later into a saved bip file and being able to change colors, move the camera angle, etc. for a different request requiring the same model.
Did you use one of our stock hdri or did you make your own?
For most of my images I use your studio lighting hdri with the environment turned off. Every now and then I like to mix it up and use one of the others. Most renderings I do will end up needing the background removed anyway so your alpha channel option is very handy.
