It involves simulating light, applying materials, and calculating visual effects to produce the desired result. If your question pertains to a specific render engine, please use its respective tag (cycles, eevee, blender-internal, etc).

How to properly render smoke on a transparent background?

Where do the white lines come from in my composite?
