Do not extract the ZIP file before installation unless instructed in the included files.

Opening Delta Render Pro

1. Open the Blender 3D Viewport.

2. Press N to open the sidebar.

3. Select the Delta Render Pro tab.

If the tab is not visible, confirm that the add-on is enabled under Blender Preferences.

Before You Start

Select the object or group of objects you want to visualize. Delta Render Pro uses the selected product to position the studio, floor, lights, and cameras.

For models made from multiple objects, select all relevant components before creating the scene.

Recommended Workflow

Follow the main sections in this order:

1. Smart Studio

2. Lighting

3. Smart Floor

4. Color Management

5. Cameras

6. Output

7. Render

The Quick Start section shows your progress and provides direct access to each stage of the workflow.

1. Smart Studio

Smart Studio creates a product-ready lighting environment around the selected object.

Create a Studio

1. Select your product.

2. Open Smart Studio.

3. Choose a studio category.

4. Choose a lighting preset.

5. Apply the selected studio preset.

6. Adjust the global studio intensity if needed.

Available categories and presets are designed for different visualization scenarios, including product, automotive, jewelry, electronics, and sci-fi presentations.

Smart Studio modifies the lighting setup only. It does not automatically create or replace the Smart Floor.

2. Lighting

The Lighting section provides global and individual control over the studio lights.

Global Lighting Controls

• Rig Intensity: Adjusts the overall lighting strength while preserving the balance between the preset lights.

• Softbox Aperture: Changes the apparent size of the main light sources. Smaller values produce harder reflections; larger values create softer reflections.

• Light Distance: Moves the main studio lights closer to or farther from the product.

• Maintain Exposure: Helps preserve the perceived exposure while shaping the lighting.

Main Lights

Select a main light to edit it individually:

• Key

• Fill

• Rim Left

• Rim Right

• Top

• Background

Depending on the selected light, you can adjust:

• Intensity

• Color

• Size

• Distance

• Position

• Rotation

Softbox Profiles

Use Softbox Profiles to shape the appearance of reflections produced by the main and interactive lights.

Available profiles include:

• Uniform

• Center Strip

• Linear Fade

• Radial Soft

Additional profile controls may include softness, focus, contrast, rotation, and X/Y offset.

Interactive Lights

Use Add Interactive Light to create an additional light and position it directly around the product.

Interactive Lights are useful for:

• Highlighting a specific feature

• Creating accent reflections

• Improving edge separation

• Adding controlled illumination without changing the main preset

3. Smart Floor

Smart Floor creates and positions a display surface based on the selected product.

Create a Smart Floor

1. Select the product.

2. Open Smart Floor.

3. Choose a floor shape.

4. Click Create Smart Floor.

5. Use the available fit and positioning controls to align the surface with the product.

The floor can be deleted and generated again without rebuilding the Smart Studio.

Floor Materials

Choose a material preset and customize its appearance.

Available controls may include:

• Floor color

• Matte or glossy finish

• Roughness

• Metallic appearance

• Pattern scale

• Grain scale

• Normal strength

• Gradient colors

• Grid scale

• Grid rotation

• Line thickness

• Grid opacity

• Grid glow strength

Some controls are displayed only when supported by the selected material.

4. Color Management

Use Color Management to establish the base look of the scene before rendering.

Depending on the selected configuration, you can control:

• View transform

• Look

• Exposure

• Gamma

• Contrast-related settings

Use the live preview when available to evaluate the image before applying the final configuration.

Color Management affects the appearance of the complete scene and should normally be adjusted after the studio and floor have been created.

5. Cameras

The Cameras section helps generate consistent product views and close-up shots.

Generate Main Cameras

1. Select the product.

2. Choose a framing preset.

3. Enable Generate Main Cameras.

4. Select the required views.

5. Click Generate Cameras.

Available product views include:

• Hero 3/4

• Front

• Sides

• Rear

• Top 3/4

• Top

Close-Up Cameras

Enable Generate Close-ups to create additional detail shots.

Main cameras and close-up cameras can be generated independently.

Manual Cameras

Use the Manual Cameras section to:

• Add a manual camera

• Duplicate the active camera

• Set the active camera to the current viewport

• Refit an existing camera

• Adjust the current camera view

Lens Controls

Choose a lens preset or enter a custom focal length. Lens changes are applied to the active Delta camera.

Depth of Field

Enable Depth of Field to control the focus and background blur.

Available controls include:

• F-Stop

• Aperture blades

• Focus target

• Interactive focus

Lower F-Stop values produce a shallower depth of field. Higher values keep more of the product in focus.

6. Output

The Output section configures the resolution and base settings used by the render workflow.

1. Enter a project name.

2. Choose the desired aspect ratio.

3. Choose the output quality.

4. Click Apply Output.

The project name is used to organize the generated render files.

Always confirm the final resolution and output folder before starting a complete camera batch.

7. Render

The Render section provides organized rendering controls for individual cameras or complete camera sets.

Render Output

Configure:

• Output folder

• Beauty image

• Image format

• Multilayer EXR passes

• Avoid overwrite

Render Processing

Enable the render denoiser when supported by the selected render engine.

Cycles provides the most complete denoising support. In other render engines, the option is used only when supported by Blender.

Material Override

Use Material Override to render the scene with a single temporary material assigned through the active View Layer.

Available default override options include gray and white materials.

Clear the View Layer material override manually when it is no longer required.

Render Actions

• Render Active Camera: Renders the currently active camera.

• Render All Cameras: Renders every generated Delta camera.

• Render Selected Cameras: Renders only the selected camera views.

• Open Output Folder: Opens the configured destination folder.

The batch-render system displays the current render status, camera progress, elapsed time, and completion information.

Presets

Use Save Preset to store the current Delta Render Pro configuration.

Use Load Preset to restore a previously saved configuration.

Presets are useful for maintaining a consistent visual style across several products or projects. Always verify the current object selection and scene before applying a saved preset to a different product.

Eevee and Cycles Compatibility

Delta Render Pro supports the main studio, lighting, floor, camera, output, and rendering workflow in both Eevee and Cycles.

Cycles is recommended for:

• Final production renders

• More accurate reflections

• Softbox Profile validation

• Cycles denoising

• Full support for hiding light sources from glossy reflections

Some reflection-management and denoising functions are specific to Cycles or depend on the capabilities of the active render engine.

Quick Troubleshooting

The Delta Render Pro tab is missing

Confirm that the add-on is enabled in:

Edit → Preferences → Add-ons

Then return to the 3D Viewport and press N.

The studio or floor is incorrectly positioned

Select every object that belongs to the product before creating or refitting the setup.

The generated cameras do not frame the complete product

Select the complete product and generate or refit the cameras again.

Depth of Field is not visible

Confirm that:

• Depth of Field is enabled

• A valid focus target is selected

• The active camera uses an appropriate F-Stop value

• The current render engine supports the selected settings

A render is too bright or too dark

Review:

• Rig Intensity

• Individual light intensity

• Maintain Exposure

• Color Management exposure

• Material reflectivity

• Render-engine settings

A material control is missing

Some parameters appear only when they are compatible with the selected Smart Floor material.

Important Notes

• Smart Studio controls the studio lights and does not automatically rebuild Smart Floor.

• Smart Floor can be deleted and regenerated independently.

• Main and close-up cameras can be generated independently.

• Interactive Lights can be repositioned after creation.

• Always save your Blender project before running a large render batch.

• Test one camera before rendering the complete camera set.

• Final runtime behavior may vary depending on the Blender version, render engine, operating system, and GPU configuration.
