2. Now, move your model around until you have a view you like, and then select the scene settings drop down:

• Set background: Environment
• Tick the "ground plane" box - so you have a surface under the model and therefore a shadow cast by the light.
• Select the environment library tab, and drag environments onto your render workspace until you find one you think is suitable. Plainer environments usually look better.

3. Now you have the environment setup (sharp highlights looks good for the mug!), you can rotate the environment to get a better view/shadow/reflection:

4. If you want to experiment with different materials for your render, drop down the setup menu and select Appearance (or press A). Then drag and drop materials onto your model until you find an appropriate finish.

5. Once you are happy with the view, lighting and appearance you can do an in-canvas render.

• Click the in-canvas render button, and wait for it to progress to a quality you are happy with. Notice it starts very blurry, the longer you leave it the better the image as the more the computer is able to calculate the scene, but a minute or two of processing should be fine.

6. Once you are happy with the render:

• Click the capture image button
• Select ok
• Tick the box to "save to your computer", and save wherever appropriate (your google drive is a good location).

7. Take a look at the image:

Full rendering and turntable rendering in Fusion 360:

Fusion 360 also lets you use Autocad's cloud service to do super-high quality renders AND turntable renders which let you showcase your model from 360 degrees.

1. To start a cloud render, position your model as you did in the in-canvas render.

• Click render.
• Then select your export settings, pick the resolution you want and whether you want cloud or local rendering (you get 16 credits per day for cloud rendering - personally i'd save the credits for turntable renders which HAVE to be done in the cloud).

2. Once your render is complete it will be accessible in the render thumbnail bar, for you to download it and use it as you wish:

2. If you'd like a turntable render of your object, it has to be sent to the cloud renderer and you will need to spend your credits to get it completed.

• Open the your render from the render thumbnail, and click the turntable render button at the top - select the settings you'd like (36 frames looks better than 6...), if you want to spend less credits just pick the mobile or web resolution options.
• Press "Render" to send your job to AutoCad and a thumbnail will appear in your rendering gallery telling you how long you have to wait for the job to complete.

4. If you click on the render in the rendering gallery you can see how long is remaining before the job is complete:

5. Once the rotation render is complete, you can save it as an mp4 and convert that to a gif if you wish to use it in evidence. Just google for a way to convert between the formats:
