COURSE OUTLINE
In this course, you will learn everything you need to know about architectural visualization using real time technology with Unreal Engine (UE4), the most advanced and professional real time tool available to arch viz artists (It's also free). You will also make use of Datasmith, a tool designed to translate your 3d rendering projects into real time (projects can come from 3ds Max, Revit, SketchUp, etc.) The course will be split into several large sections, with some sections coming later as software and techniques evolve.
SECTION I:
In the first part of the course, the focus will be on transitioning an existing 3d rendering project into real time UE4. You will learn to achieve photo realism with your materials, lighting and post-processing, all using built-in real time tools. From there, students will generate photo realistic animations and renderings that render in REAL TIME! No more waiting for overnight renderings. Change your camera motions, object animations, camera / lighting effects all with immediate feedback.
Topics included:
importing using datasmith
UE4 materials
Lighting techniques and settings
Perfect light bakes
Fixing Errors
Photorealism
Animating Cameras and Objects
Level Sequencer
Lighting with HDRI
Foliage / Landscaping
Much More
SECTION II:
In this section, students will convert and optimize their scene for desktop navigation so that it can be shared with others, and navigated in real time on any computer. We will explore interactivity in this section and start learning about blueprints. Students will also learn to use the UE4 widget system to create interactive menus, buttons, etc.
SECTION III:
Students will optimize their project for VR navigation using a headset. We will look at specific interaction blueprints for VR, and approach the project in a way that gives the best interactive and immersive experience.
Who this course is for:
- Arch Viz artists that want to be on the cutting edge of the latest technologies in the industry
- UE4 enthusiasts who want to use real time for architecture
- Anyone who wants to better understand how real time and VR can be integrated into their 3d workflow
- Architects and artists that need a better, more effective way to communicate their ideas
