Introduction

This tutorial is meant to introduce the reader to the basic workflow of the Raytracing Workbench, as well as most of the tools that are available to create a rendered image.

Requirements

FreeCAD version 0.16 or above
POV-Ray and/or LuxRender is installed on the system
In the case of POV-Ray, it's not enough to have just the binary executable in place, but it also requires the installation of supporting files, and in Ubuntu these are provided by the Recommends-flagged package povray-includes. Potential issues have also been seen with Linux installations requiring local configuration files to be manually created in a user's home folder, as discussed here.
In the case of POV-Ray, installation of psicofil's macro is recommended
The reader has the basic knowledge to use the Part and PartDesign Workbenches

Procedure

Modeling

In this example a Cube is used as the study object, but models created in the Part or PartDesign Workbenches can be used instead.

Create a new document
Activate the Part Workbench
Create a Cube. You are free to change its properties in any way.

Now we have a model with which to work.

Preparing for the render

Switch to the Raytracing Workbench
Change your View to Perspective. Go to View menu and select Perspective.
Set the location for the renderer. Go to the Edit menu and select Preferences. Click on Raytracing and set the location to the executable.
Set the size of the rendered image. Go to the Edit menu and select Preferences. Click on Raytracing and set the desired image size.

POV-Ray

Select New PovRay project. From the dropdown menu pick RadiosityNormal

LuxRender

Select New LuxRender project. From the dropdown menu pick LuxClassic

Setting the camera position

Position the 3D View to the desired location and distance from the model. In this case we will use the Axonometric View.
Select the Project Folder from the Tree View
Select Reset camera
