What you'll learn

  • Understand the fundamentals of rendering, graphic composition, and graphic expression criterias.
  • Practice the tools and techniques for creating and configuring a scene.
  • Create, import, configure and apply surfaces on a model.
  • Manage, operate and import objects for the setup of a scene.
  • Understand the operation of the Sketch and Basic rendering engines.
  • Manage the parameters of the Cineware renderer by MAXON.
  • Program realistic surfaces using Cinewares renderer channels and effects.
  • Learn about the setup of artificial lighting using the Lamp tool.
  • Practice workflows for creating plan, section, isometric, hybrid, mock-up, analytical, etc. renders.
  • Use Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the post-production of final renders.
  • Implement Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the generation of design proposals.

Course content

10 sections • 176 lectures • 15h 43m total length

  • Welcome2:57

    I'm including multiple links for this lesson. In the first one, you can review the hardware requirements for installing and running ArchiCAD; in the second one, you can register and download a free ArchiCAD educational license, and finally in the third one, I'm including the link to the previous course where you can review basic concepts about ArchiCAD.

  • Long Term Integration Blueprint2:58

    I'm including an annex in PDF format with the master brochure so you can review on your own.

  • Table of Contents3:36

    Explore a ten-section ArchiCAD rendering course balancing theory and practice, covering framing, lighting, surfaces, object management, renderers, AI post-production, and downloadable brochures.

  • Course Summary l Sections 2 - 74:08

    Explain the rendering process and workflow in ArchiCAD, cover tools and engines—sketch render, basic render, and redshift by Maxon—and explore framing, camera and projection settings, and surface painter tools.

  • Course Summary l Sections 8 - 104:20

Requirements

  • It is necessary to have basic experience with ArchiCAD, since the training seeks to deepen intermediate specific concepts.
  • Have ArchiCAD previously installed in your computer, or complete the free introduction course titled "Introduction to BIM with ArchiCAD" in Udemy.
  • Preferably complete the course titled "Basic BIM Framework with ArchiCAD" in Udemy, since there i teach you the basic concepts with ArchiCAD.

Description

What other possibilities does ArchiCAD offer? How can you push your BIM model to its limits for representation and graphic expression? How can you produce hand-drawn, basic, daytime, nighttime, or hybrid-style graphics? How can you create renderings such as plan views, isometric cutouts, scale models, analytical models, or exploded representations? How can you use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to apply post-production to your renders? How can you use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to generate design proposals from primitive geometries? These—and many more—are some of the questions I will answer for you in this intermediate level guide on ArchiCAD.


Building Information Modeling (BIM) stands out as a methodology that revolutionizes the architecture, engineering, construction and operation (AECO) sector, and ArchiCAD -a solution developed by Graphisoft since 1982- is one of the various tools that enables this way of working, by centralizing information in a BIM database ArchiCAD allows for greater project quality and productivity in less time compared to the 2D CAD workflow.


Welcome! I'm Valentyn-Vladyslav Kotsarenko, an architect with a Master's degree and experience as a BIM Coordinator. As an advanced ArchiCAD user certified by Graphisoft Mexico, I've spent over a decade collaborating with professionals in implementing BIM solutions. Additionally, I've trained numerous universities, companies, and individuals in various BIM tools, aiming to optimize workflows and production processes. Now, I'm here to guide you through this journey.


This course represents a complementary step in a series of structured training programs; If you already know the basics of developing an architectural project with ArchiCAD and wish to further enhance your skills with the handling of more powerful tools, workflows, and complex solutions for your project, then this training is for you.


Throughout this training:


  • Learn the theoretical foundations and principles of rendering, visual composition, and graphic expression.

  • Master tools for framing and composing a scene in ArchiCAD.

  • Explore efficient methods for managing and assigning materials and textures to your BIM model.

  • Learn how to import, organize, and manage objects to enhance your scene composition.

  • Understand how the Sketch and Basic rendering engines operate.

  • Learn how to configure and optimize the Cineware by MAXON rendering engine.

  • Master the setup of channels and effects to create realistic surfaces.

  • Explore tools and techniques for artificial lighting in ArchiCAD.

  • Learn how to produce plan, section, isometric, hybrid, model, and analytical render types.

  • Apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the post-production of final renders.

  • Use Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the generation of design proposals from scratch.

And more.
