Render

In digital advertising, rendering refers to the computational process of generating photorealistic or stylized imagery using 3D modeling, lighting, and texturing software. Unlike photography or filmed content, rendered images offer complete control over every visual aspect and can visualize products or concepts that don't physically exist. This technique enables creation of consistent product imagery, conceptual visualizations, and dynamic animations that would be impractical or impossible to capture through traditional photography.
