Turning a KiCAD design into a realistic render using Blender 2.81

Start at 1:20 if you already have a KiCAD design. Check out the Github repo for the source files and more info: github.com/jackhumbert/kicad_...

Thanks for sharing this. You go at 100 miles an hour but its full of great content. For those who mention the metals and IOR are not there anymore, you can do this using the new Principled BSDF settings directly now.

With the newest kicad and blender you can export vrml from kicad, and import to blender, and it will include the board layers, as well as colors on 3d components. So most of the work is done. Just use the bsdf shader to make the pads metal by changing the assigned materials etc.

Hm, it is very fast for a beginner to understand what you are doing. :D Where can i find Metal Colors und IOR-Specular? :(

I keep coming back to this video over the last few months hoping something will click for me, and i'll just get it. every time, though, it feels like I'm missing an important step and just can't follow along without something being totally different than what's shown.

Nice editing perspective of skipping tedious job.
