Use Adobe Stager at every stage of design
Ever since Adobe Stager came out, I saw clearly that it would be a very important ally.
Stager has an excellent learning curve so you don't have to wait long to see fantastic results and this is a unique competitive advantage.
Imagine having a professional photographic studio (Stager in fact), a professional digital camera and in addition, all the objects and materials you need to compose any setting and produce in a few minutes photographs generated in .PSD that you can then edit in Photoshop.
This is Adobe Stager explained in a nutshell. Does it seem little to you? I know you would have the same tools in Blender and millions more options as well as modelling (Stager has Modeler for modelling). I challenge you though, to create great renders on Blender as easily as you would on Stager.
Am I trying to sell you Stager? No, I am trying to tell you that 3D work is very demanding, and having a powerful tool that is easy to use will give you competitive advantages as well as more time to create, by letting Stager do the technical part.
