I need someone to render this image of a Nintendo DS Lite. I know it shouldn't be too hard for some of you, but I find rendering to be really difficult.

I don't need the stylus rendered. Thanks.

 

"Render" could mean a hundred different things, what exactly did you want?

 

…What a simple procedure. This should take just a moment!…

 

I was assuming that he wanted us to map a 3D model of it, make it spin in 360 degrees in an animation, and then encode it.

 

A "render" is the final process of turning 3D info into an image.

People using "render" to refer to cutting the background out of things... that's wrong. Often people will take 3D renders other people have made (for example screenshots from videogames) and cut out the main character and call that a render, so people mistakenly thought "render" referred to the cutting process, when in reality is refers to the process that made the base image.

For example, turning this...


Into this...


Is rendering. It produces the render.

If somebody was to cut out the shadow and all the white to just get at the sword, then they'd be taking the render of the sword (calling it the render) and using it in another image.

 

That's not actually image modification, it's 3D stuff like the screenshot shows. I'm not that good at image modification, actually.

 

Thanks Rydian for clearing that up. I've actually learned something here today.
By the way, what program is that?
