Visualisation and Composition for Architects

This course is a workflow course. It is designed for Architectural and Interior Design Professionals who are using Revit in their day to day design processes and want to understand how to move models from Revit, through to render through to completed photo-composites. The course is not designed as a substitute for essential level product training, instead this course teaches the workflows and techniques employed in moving models between each specific application to achieve the required end goal. The course will be based around Revit Architecture for modelling, 3ds Max with V-Ray, for rendering, then final output would be achieved using photo-editing software.
