What Digital Modelling And Rendering covers

From a blank 3D workspace to a walkthrough animation, Digital Modelling And Rendering covers how Interior Design Level 6 students visualise a space. Navigating the user interface covers software types, tools, interface components, customising the workspace and file handling. 3D modelling covers workspace parameters, project units and coordinate systems, complex interior elements, layers and groups, and camera angles and perspectives. Materials, textures and lighting covers library materials, material properties and lighting positioning. Rendering covers choosing an engine, positioning cameras, engine settings, rendering scenes and exporting output files. Walkthrough animations cover camera paths, sequences, speed, transitions, focal points and emerging technologies. The final outcome presents images and animations with branding, labels and annotations.
