Create photorealistic house from scratch to end in AutoCAD

Switch to the 3d modeling workspace in AutoCAD and prepare the drawing template by setting architectural inches, insertion scale, dynamic input, and grid and snaps.

In AutoCAD, create exterior and interior wall outlines by drawing a 45 ft 8 in by 32 ft 8 in rectangle, set units, and apply offsets to define wall thickness.

Create a 3d wall volume in AutoCAD, set wall thickness, and place doors and curtain walls, then use boolean subtract to carve grooves for openings.

Create the floor and roof of a first floor in AutoCAD by drawing rectangles and polylines, applying offset and extrude, and using the dynamic option and hide tools for clarity.

Insert and position door and curtain wall blocks to complete a photorealistic AutoCAD house, using isolation, rotation, and precise move and reference-point placement for accurate alignment.

Insert 3D blocks into the AutoCAD house drawing, hide unused objects, explode blocks to edit, rotate and position them, and refine with move, mirror, and copy from top view.

Insert a ceiling light fixture into the drawing, create a two-by-three array with adjusted gaps, switch from tutti wireframe to shaded with edges, and convert surfaces to solids.

Organize the drawing by managing layers, renaming layers, and applying layer properties, then use hide, isolate, and explode to place floors, roofs, walls, and brick walls on their respective layers.

Apply materials to all components of a 3d house using the material browser, visual styles, and attach-by-layer techniques to achieve realistic renders across walls, roof, flooring, glass, and wood.

Learn to create two realistic materials for a 3D drawing by using opacity maps and texture maps, then apply and map them onto surfaces with scale, rotation, and object isolation.

Create and refine camera views in AutoCAD by isolating obstructing objects, setting targets, and using the navigation wheel to position interior and exterior views, then save and switch between them.

Modify material properties in AutoCAD by selecting a material, opening the material editor, adjusting color and gloss, and applying changes to flooring and other surfaces, including patterns and varnishes.

Add interior point lights to ceiling fixtures in a 3D AutoCAD model, isolate and move them into place, copy across fixtures, then render a quick interior view to evaluate lighting.

Set geolocation from map to New Delhi, add sun and exterior light, and set date and time to create accurate exterior renderings and shadows.

Add environment presets and a sky background in AutoCAD 2016, adjust exposure and brightness, and render exterior and interior scenes using the render panel.

Adjust lighting and styles to refine photorealistic renderings in AutoCAD, save images in various formats, compare presets from low to high, and manage rendering history.

Create a 3D animated walkthrough in AutoCAD by configuring a camera along a polyline, adjusting frame rate and duration, applying visual styles, and rendering the result.

Convert a 3D AutoCAD drawing into 2D plan views by using the flat shot tool to generate front, left, top, and section views, adjust origin, and manage hidden lines.

Insert blocks from a preexisting folder into the plan view, adjust scale with a reference, mirror as needed, and use design center to add beds, sofas, and tables.

Create floor plan dimensions by configuring an architectural dimension style in AutoCAD, selecting text and arrow styles, and applying dimensions across floor plans, elevations, and sections.

Configure layout page setup in AutoCAD, choose a paper size with margins, insert and align a title block on multiple layouts, and create a dedicated viewport layer for controlled views.

Learn to plot from model space and layouts and publish multi-sheet outputs, selecting paper size, scale, and windowing for centered, high-resolution views.

Celebrate finishing the course by sharing your AutoCAD photorealistic 3d house drawings and snapshots, including final drawings and 2d plans, in the Q&A, and receive your certificate of completion.
