Brand Concept

In order to emphasize the democratic concept of alliance with customers to employees, Kamprad wrote "The Faith of a Furniture Merchant" in 1976, which became the IKEA Bible . He reiterated again and again: Part of creating a better life for the most people involves breaking away from the limitations of status and tradition and becoming freer people. To do this, we have to be different. Even in the 1990s, when IKEA stepped up its pace of global development, it also sought to maintain its original corporate culture. Kamprad said directly: IKEA has always adhered to its important traditions, because this is not Swedish culture, but company culture. Otherwise, employees from other countries will not feel that they belong to IKEA. In addition to bringing simple, beautiful and reasonably priced products to the global market, IKEA also spreads the Nordic spirit of equality and freedom everywhere. For young people, the spiritual power of IKEA is more lethal than the practicality of its products. No one can ignore this general trend: everyone desires to be the protagonist and the dominant one. How can a novice with zero basic knowledge make decoration renderings? What software do I need to learn?

First of all, let’s figure one thing out. There are many software for making renderings. Different applications must achieve different effects, so there are different software. This is the purpose of analyzing yourself. Do you want to decorate your own home and find some software to use your creativity? Or do you want to work in a related field, such as a designer or draftsman? Or do you want to earn some extra money to subsidize yourself? How about working part-time?

Now I introduce some fashionable 3D rendering steps in detail.

1. The most practical processing technology (internationally, it is also the most commonly used professional software by domestic large and medium-sized decoration companies, design companies, and designers). CAD produces general plan and construction drawings using 3DMAX as physical models, VR or AR as material drawings, and 3D rendering of lighting effects in PS as post-processing. This process has three highest advantages: 1. The effect is very good. Almost all the top renderings on the market today are derived from this process. 2. The software is old and mature, at least more than ten years old.

Online materials, practical tutorials, and advanced courses are easy to find. There are many related teaching forums and websites. 3. The software is highly executable and controllable, and can fully utilize people's imagination and creativity. Yes, they can do it if you want.

Second, in the previous article, because 3DMAX is difficult to learn. So some draftsmen use Sketch Master. Compared with 3D, this software also has its own advantages: it is easier to get started. But the effect can be very good. Both are professional software. The learning and training phase is tough.

Three. Kujiale, Sanweijia, etc. This kind of software, in the eyes of designers, is classified as Shabi software, because the furniture and specifications in it can be pulled out and used directly. Understanding color contrast, ergonomics, etc. are very important in the designer's basic knowledge. This software optimizes them to a certain level. In today's home design, most designers look down on designers who use Kujiale and Sanweijia. These two software are mostly used in furniture, wardrobe, floor tile layout design and other fields. As far as the effect is concerned, it is relatively average.

Four. There are also some edge software, such as Designer and surroundings. This kind of software is not recommended for learning and training, and the quality of the software is not commented on. We just need to use a lot of steps and materials in the process of understanding. They don't. It is more difficult to find practical tutorials online, and even more difficult to find advanced tutorials. How to find IKEA design
