Why and for whom?
The purpose of this workshop is to equip you with AutoCAD's Rendering capabilities, give you a chance to expand your idea in 3D model and make them look realistic. This realism is possible because of the materials attached to models, lights placed in drawings, and complex mathematical calculations determining how light illuminates, reflects from, and refracts through materials.
We will explore the basic and advanced features for rendering, show how you can use AutoCAD to produce lifelike views (rendering) of your 3D drawings.
Another highlight of the workshop is to explore how to produce Animated Walk-through from 3D Models.
This workshop is intended for architects, engineers, drafters, and design-related professionals who already have basic knowledge and know-how in creating 3-D drawing using AutoCAD.
