AutoCAD + Maya + Lumion: Photorealistic Archviz
Learn the workflow of turning AutoCAD 2D plans into 3D models, texturing them and producing photorealistic renders.
Description
No one deserves to be left looking left and right for tutorials, running into endless problems, and feeling demotivated for their career. That's why I have made this course, for you.
Generally, when it comes to Architectural Visualization, you will find plenty of guides using different software, but never with Autodesk Maya. Despite it being a leading software for 3D Animation, there isn't enough teaching content online for those of us who wish to embark in this field and use our favorite program to do so. As a result, Maya users are often discouraged to pursue a career in Archviz.
With this course, I'm aiming to fill in the blanks in the industry, and provide the full workflow of Architectural Visualization using Maya, starting with only a 2D plan of your project. You will learn all the steps, from A to Z, on how to take your plan into Maya, turn it into a reference that you can use to model upon it, then you'll learn how to apply textures and finally take your model into Lumion, where you will produce jaw-dropping photorealistic renders that are guaranteed to move your career to the next level.
While making this course, I made sure to address all the minor details and steps that you should take, leaving no room for frustration on your end. I break down each tool I use, making notes of the shortcuts, and explaining the process in detail along the way. By doing this, I made the course accessible for beginners that are just starting to use Autodesk Maya, while keeping it challenging and interesting for the more intermediate users. For AutoCAD and Lumion, no previous experience is needed, as those programs are fairly simple to get started with.
I believe that a tutor's job truly starts after releasing a course, as that's when students will need help with their own projects, and some might need more thorough explanation of tools and concepts used. As such, I am making it my duty to respond to each one of you, and do my best to assist you in solving any problems that may arise.
This course can and will help you get started in this very rewarding and creative field, and kick-start your career as a 3D Artist.
