To take a rambling analogy you will be thinking rope and crampons rather than a comfy pair of shoes but the books and on-line training/help sites are a BIG help. Once you get up to speed it is amazing what you can do and how quickly - did I mention that it was free. | |

You can even add motion to the light(s) as well, e.g. Object lit by incandescent light & window at different times of day. Note that rendering takes place for a specific combination of camera, scene and lighting. | |

Coincidentally however I already had plans to learn how to use blender either way so for me personally this is a pretty good answer. But after rendering a model and lighting in blender, can I freely rotate the camera around the object to see it from different angles? | |
