Welcome to Architectural Rendering with SketchUP and D5 Render!
This course is suitable for students who wish to understand a complete, project based ArchViz workflow, from start to end. Additionally, this course will be useful for those artists switching from another rendering program to D5 Render, but do not know where to start.
We will be using a fantastic and modern rendering software D5 Render, which provides stunning visuals and has an accessible learning curve. We will cover three projects in total; an exterior based on the Modern French style, an exterior English garden render and lastly will will cover interior rendering with D5 Render. We will discuss the workflow, how to set up your materials, cameras lighting and render output, a long with post production in Photoshop! In addition, project 2.5 is now up, and a new project (Project 3) is posted!!
Once a student completes the course, they will have the skills they need to complete their own projects utilizing the workflow demonstrated. We will place an emphasis on why something should be done, and what mistakes you can avoid!
Finally: this course is designed to grow; supplementary material will be added over time, and new content will become available as it is created. I addition, support is offered for anyone who purchases this course, so you can always reach out with questions and let me know if you need help!
I hope you have a great experience with this course, and that you learn something of value!
