Photorealistic rendering?

[stollartist64]

Hi, does Fusion 360 have photorealistic rendering capability? Is it good for interior and architural rendering?

Thanks

Yes, that's really not hard to figure out either 😉

Nope, but I am biased 😉

I didn't see any autodesk tutorial pertaining to rendering specifically. Are there any good ones on youtube or elsewhere?

Whether it is good for interior architectural rendering is really a question of what quality you are hoping to achieve.

I recently rendered two images, one in Fusion 360 (the 1st one) and one in Indigo Renderer. It was a simple material test for the wooden floor material, not the cube. While they are pretty close I personally still would favor Indigo be cause it is a clearly superior render engine with vastly more control, but with a bit of patience Fusion 360 can render decent images.

great example.

That looks great! I played around with Blender and I could place different types of lighting in the scene. Is this how it works in Fusion 360? Are these options found in Render workspace? 

Thanks

These scenes purposely were lit only by the same HDRI from hdrihaven,com

There are no other light sources in the scene.

If you need extra light sources in Fusion 360 you need to create an object and assign an emissive material to a face or the entire object.
