• You must also take into account the environment and lighting!

• You can create things with video renderings that cannot be done in real life; this is one of its primary advantages.

• Exploded view renderings show how the product comes apart and all of its pieces.

• You can use these tools to explain a lot about a product and inform potential consumers.

• Product demos and tutorials are other uses for video renderings.

• How can you direct your designers to build a great hardware product rendering video for what you need?

• The core requirement for making the video is creating a storyboard and ordering the elements to effectively tell the story.
