In our case, we drew out some shapes to represent a table and walls. The first step in bringing the visual to life is modelling the basic environment. As you can see, the visuals are relatively dull and the objects appear to be a floating mass.

The below renders show the model in its simplest form with very little context other than the pen, which is necessary to let viewers know the device is for writing. To guide you through our tips, we'll be using an assistive writing design we created called the Tilt Writer. Shaped like an inverted mouse, the device is 'rocked' forward to write, which eliminates the need to form a strong closed grip.

Our goal is to get you thinking about the environment of your designs, to create quick and easy visuals that help you communicate your ideas. Before we begin, we want to mention that these tips cover just one aspect of rendering and we will not be delving into the topics of lighting/shadows, custom materials or more advanced areas of the rendering workspace.

The key topic we will be focusing on is creating context to give your designs a clear and engaging visual narrative. In today's blog we'll be providing some useful tips for rendering your designs in Fusion 360.
