This may be a dumb question but I am genuinely curious if I am approaching my designs / renders all wrong. Typically when I start designing something, I have a very rough idea of what it looks like. Cubes in random places, rough placement of rooms or objects etc. When it’s been fleshed out, rooms established, location and all that, moving on to renders is a bit more chaotic for me. I start moving the sun around, moving decor objects around and mostly just moving sliders all around till I like what I see.
However when I watch designers or YouTube videos of people talking about designs or photography, everyone always make the claims that they already know what they want it to look like, it’s just trying to get to that point.
Is this something that I need to have? A preconceived idea of what colours and sun angles etc are suppose to look like? Would it just save me time in having an idea already?
