# Conceptual Rendering: Rendering as a Design Tool

Why wait until your modeling is complete to render? 

Conceptual rendering can help to produce simple but effective renderings to test and communicate your design ideas with the stakeholders.

Join Joseph Kim as he explores some of the solutions he has developed to help you to help others to see your design vision before you have it finished!

The tips and tricks learned from this session are sure to streamline your design process and make design discussions easier.

You'll discover:

- The use cases and the importance of design communication.
- The benefits of conceptual rendering.
- The different styles and processes of conceptual renderings in SketchUp.
- Tips and tricks for producing conceptual renderings in SketchUp and Enscape.
