Realistic Architectural 3D Modeling

Architectural visualization helps architects and designers work collaboratively and communicate ideas more efficiently.

This course, regardless of your industry background, will share basic concepts of Architectural Visualization. The course will use Blender,a free and open source tool, to demonstrate the concepts in this course, including:

• Rigid Modeling
• Soft Modeling
• Cycles Render Engine
• Cycles Materials
• Cycles Shaders
• Texturing and Light settings
