Rendering objects on a desk

[TheHunt_r]

Hi all, I have to render a product for my GCSE coursework and I was struggling with finding a HDR file that is suitable for a desk. I have tried the one on polyhaven:https://polyhaven.com/a/poly_haven_studio.

Also I was wondering whether a photo background could be used in a render. This is my product. The top half is meant to be plywood painted black and the bottom half is meant to be light blue glow in the dark PLA. Any HDR files would be greatly appreciated of desks that are relatively clean with only like a keyboard, mouse and monitor or any suggestions or methods to make photo backgrounds possible would be great. Thanks.

I would just model the desk, and/or download models the items you want (keyboard, monitor, mouse etc) and render them as part of the scene.

Hi, I'm quite new to rendering so by models do you mean HDR files and importing them in to the background

No , he means actual 3D models. There are plenty of props you can use on Grabcad.

You don't need to model an entire desk. Just a plate of wood similar in size to a desk and I'd use the solid wood textures.

There are many interior scenes on Polyhaven you can use for general lighting. Use fairly empty rooms.

Use focal blur to blur out the background and put your object into scene

Can you ask your instructor to join this discussion?

I dont know what their account name is on Fusion

Could you elaborate on how to add props to a scene in Fusion please?

Download files from Gracad, for example. Upload them to the project folder in Fusion.

Open and assign materials. Save.
Insert into the design. 

The questions you are asking have me wondering if you completed any of the free tutorial courses here.
