Course: CAD 3D Modeling & Rendering
Description:
This 32-hour course is designed to
enable highly qualified professionals and graphics personnel to
fully use the capabilities and
enhanced features of CAD in the modeling and rendering
of three-dimensional objects. Standard methods and practices
usually done at engineering and architectural offices are
highlighted and used in the examples and plates throughout the
course.
The first plate consists of complete
modeling and rendering of a residential house including its
landscaping. Exterior and interior perspective views are prepared
and rendered. Effects of the different lights available in CAD
such as point light, distant light, spotlight and ambient
light are tested on the model. Different types of materials such
as marbles, red bricks, etc. are applied to the model before final
rendering against a background image.
The second plate involves the
complete modeling and rendering of a 39-floor twin
commercial-residential-office tower. This plate includes studying
the effect of a big spotlight simulating the effect of sunlight.
Finally the twin tower is rendered against the skyscrapers of
downtown Hong Kong.
In both of the above plates,
rendering to a file is performed and retrieval, including some
adjustments of the rendered image, by another program like MS Word
and Photoshop is demonstrated to the participants.
The course requires previous knowledge of
the 2D capabilities of CAD. At
the end of the course, the participant is expected to be
well-versed with the 3D capabilities of CAD and could be
employed as a
CAD Modeler or CAD Renderer.
