I began first with my turntable part of my showreel, setting up a basic scene with 3 point lighting with the asset on top of a plane that had been assigned a background color. Instead of animating the camera to move around the asset, I chose to have the asset rotate itself. The reason for this is so that as the asset rotates while the lighting and camera remain stationary, the shadows from the asset transform and change, creating a very nice effect.
As I mentioned previously, due to lack of time I will be rendering at 720p instead of 1080p. I went through the process of setting up the render settings, starting with the naming prefix, and frame padding. I then set the frame range and selected the camera. The last step on this tab was to select the HD 720 from the drop down menu, setting the resolution and DPI to the pre-defined settings.
For the quality I adapted the "Production Quality" preset, upping the quality to 2 from 0.60 as well as the minimum samples from 1 to 10.
Below is an example of a still frame from one of my turntables.
