Step 1: Panton Chair case study
Within this tutorial, the objective is to recreate the renderings available on Vitra website for the Panton chair.

Their website also hosts a 3D CAD model section, but as presented within the video that model is not very accurate to the real chair. I encourage you to use the 3D model from GrabCAD.

These are the steps that are presented within the video
- Importing your 3D model. The first step is to import your 3D model into KeyShot. KeyShot supports a wide variety of 3D file formats, so you should be able to import your model without any problems.
- Assigning materials to your model. Once your model is imported, you need to assign materials to it. KeyShot has a wide variety of materials to choose from, including metals, plastics, fabrics, and wood. You can also create your own custom materials.
- Setting up your scene. Once you have assigned materials to your model, you need to set up your scene. This includes things like choosing a camera, setting up the lighting, and adding any other objects to the scene.
- Rendering your image. Once your scene is set up, you can render your image. KeyShot has a variety of render settings that you can adjust to control the quality and realism of your image.
