Rendering a frame for a game vs in blender is like the difference in freehand drawing a rough floor plan of a house in a few minutes vs drawing a detailed floor plan to exact scale with rulers, T-Squares, triangles, etc., and it shows every door and the direction it opens, exact length of each wall and where it meets other walls, window sizes and locations, the attached garage you forgot about in your freehand sketch because you were in a rush to get it finished, specific hookups for an oven range, washer/dryer, etc.

The rough floor plan looks like a floor plan, and you can probably build something off it, but you don’t have all the details and it doesn’t look anywhere near as pretty or accurate to a real structure. The detailed plan could be taken and turned into an actual structure and, if drawn (and built) properly, will be *very* accurate to the real structure once built.
