Completing the Path from a Digital Dream to a Reality Rider
IN AN EVER-GROWING AND COMPETITIVE WORLD OF BUILDERS, THE BUSINESS OF RENDERS IS GROWING MORE AND MORE, GIVING OWNERS SOME OF THE MOST REAL REPRESENTATIONS OF THEIR CREATIVE VISIONS THAT YOU CAN IMAGINE … No, really, sometimes it is hard to tell if it is a real picture or computer image. These renders give owners and builders alike the opportunity to lock down every single detail of what they think they want to get out of their final build, down to exact parts, and see it put together before they spend the money to do so. This technology is changing the game and saving a lot of time, energy and money. It gives an advanced look at how that wheel would look on the truck when finished, what the final color scheme will be and every detail in between.
Renders basically eliminate that age-old problem of buying something you THINK will look good, and then seeing it on the truck upon completion and hating it or having to re-buy a new setup that will look the way you hoped it would. That is a game changer, folks.
So, with our “2019 Render to Reality” series, we here at Street Trucks decided to show you guys the real possibilities that come along with doing this. We will show you all a selection of different types of builds from different render companies and multiple builders in 2019, and then we will keep tabs on them as they are completed. Upon finishing, we will bring you a follow-up article on each of the finished trucks and you, the readers, will get the chance to vote on a favorite. So, stay tuned and keep your eyes open as the year progresses.
