Everything you already know is valuable. What I value the most in this field is freedom. You're free to change everything.. or not. There are a lot to see if you observe, and the statement is valid even if you just observe yourself.

Decomposing a 3D scene
page 2

Different Points of view A unique feature in 3D is that you can move inside the scene and choose whatever point of view, and then render it.

While it offers many possibilities, it also prompts you to decide your point of view and lock it. The scene will evolve from there (otherwise it would require higher amounts of processing power and memory.)

The more computing resources you have, the better. There are several types of renderers too. Raytracers need a lot of power, but they worth the effort.

The atmosphere can also change. They depend on the program you're using. Some apps do more calculations than others, but again, they require a lot of testing and a bit of faith
