Step 3: Paint your modelUse any of the 700+ scientifically accurate materials from the material library by simply copying and pasting them onto your model. You will instantly see what your design will look like, with the given material, color, and finish, under the current lighting conditions.

Step 4: Choose your lightingSimply select an environment image (HDRI). As soon as you change the lighting environment you will notice the effect the real world lighting captured in those environments has on materials, colors and finishes.

Step 5: Adjust your cameraFraming your scene is just like using a real camera. You can change angle, distance and twist. You can control perspective with focal length and field of view settings and you can easily add depth of field to your scene.
