AI-assisted rendering can speed up the process, but it doesn’t remove the burden—or the joy—of high-fidelity iteration. Rendering isn’t just about realism; it’s a tool for design refinement. By applying value and shadow, you explore subtle surface transitions, cast shadows to create visual breaks, and refine your design with clarity and precision. The process is Not about technique—it’s about Sensitivity, making deliberate choices, and committing to a direction while still exploring possibilities.
