The course has been developed using the suite: SketchUp , LayOut , and V-Ray. These are popular programs for creating photorealistic visualizations and basic technical documentation based on fundamental three-dimensional models. The course presents the process of creating architectural drawings and exterior visualizations and documents it thoroughly so that you can easily absorb it and replicate it in your own work.
SketchUp - work based on authentic documentation
The course program is based on a real project of a small, 140-square-meter, two-story single-family house. You will undoubtedly encounter this type of assignment in your professional career. So learn on solid foundations and be prepared for future challenges.
During this training, you will see exactly what work on such a project looks like. The instructor will tell you about useful tools, point out optimization possibilities, and share his proven tricks. All this is aimed at working faster and more efficiently.
LayOut - the ready recipe for automatic technical drawings
The goal of the training is not only to create photorealistic architectural visualizations but also to prepare a technical project in the LayOut software. This tool is provided to you as a "bonus" in the full SketchUp Pro package.
LayOut is similar to AutoCAD: it allows working to scale, editing line weights, dimensioning, and preparing documents for printing. You can easily produce plans, sections, and elevations. Best of all, drawings do not need to be created from scratch; they are generated automatically from the SketchUp model!
SketchUp - harness the full potential of the software
Although SketchUp offers a very wide range of tools, its arsenal can be further expanded with additional extensions.
For instance: BezierSpline makes creating complex curves easier. FredoCorner adds fillets to sharp solids. Component Stringer automatically distributes components in space; and Skatter version 2 helps execute even the most advanced land development projects. The comprehensive, over 13-hour training program guarantees mastering the full capabilities of these and many other plugins.
V-Ray - discover the new features introduced in V-Ray
V-Ray is also a kind of extension without which creating photorealistic visualizations is practically impossible. Many new features have been introduced in the 6th version, especially useful in architectural visualizations.
In this context, repeatable geometries (Enmesh), procedural clouds, and simple sections using Camera clipping deserve special attention. You will learn all of these topics in dedicated lessons.
V-Ray - create visualizations at different times of day and under various lighting conditions
V-Ray provides many lighting options that can be combined in unlimited configurations. The course presents tested, ready-to-use lighting concepts that will also work perfectly in your scenes.
Whether you want to present a building in morning or evening settings, under a cloudy sky or bright sun, V-Ray’s tools will allow you to master each of these scenarios.
V-Ray - post-produce like a professional without using Photoshop
Post-production is a very important stage in creating architectural visualizations. It takes place after the rendering is completed and has so far been the domain of external graphic programs such as Photoshop.
Find out how to ditch unnecessary software and perform post-production exclusively in V-Ray. Learn advanced Cryptomatte masks that will allow you to precisely select any elements of the image and change their properties without affecting the rest. Freely adjust the mood of your visualization, introduce color balance, and gain full control over your image.
