Programs that can take the course
The course involves learning the concept of real-time rendering and acquiring the necessary skills for computer-aided visualization and animation using current software programs. The main software to be used in the course is Twinmotion, while students will also use one of the following programs in parallel: D5 or Enscape. The key understanding in the course is that these computer-aided visualization programs are not the end goal but rather tools to convey design ideas.
Textbook and / or References
The course aims to teach students not only how to achieve real-time rendering but also how to learn computer programs used for designing and visualizing at the same time.
1. To understand the logic of real-time modeling and acquire the ability to use at least one software.
2. To gain knowledge about the advantages and disadvantages of real-time modeling software.
3. To be able to use multiple visualization programs.
4. To be able to use artificial intelligence for visualization.
