Are you interested in learning how to use SketchUp, the popular 3D modelling software used in various industries, and Lumion, the 3D rendering software that is ideally matched with SketchUp?

What will I Study?

Learner Hours: 20

Our comprehensive course will teach you the fundamentals of SketchUp, from basic tools and techniques to advanced modelling and rendering. You'll learn how to create 3D models from scratch, modify existing models, and use SketchUp to bring your designs to life.

Our course includes step-by-step tutorials, hands-on exercises, and real-world examples to help you master SketchUp quickly and easily. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced user, our course has something to offer.

Lumion: is a 3D rendering software that enables architects, designers, and other professionals to create high-quality visualizations and animations of their designs. With Lumion, users can import 3D models of buildings, landscapes, and other objects, and then add materials, lighting, and other effects to create realistic and immersive virtual environments.

Our course will also teach you the fundamentals of Lumion, from basic tools and techniques to advanced rendering and animation. You will learn how to import 3D models from SketchUp, apply materials and textures, and add realistic lighting and effects to your scenes.

Day 1: Introduction to Lumion

• Overview of Lumion interface and navigation
• Importing 3D models into Lumion
• Creating and modifying the environment
• Creating and modifying landscapes

Day 2: Lighting and Effects in Lumion

• Applying materials and textures to 3D models
• Adding and adjusting lights
• Applying realistic effects to 3D scenes

Day 3: Walkthroughs and Animations in Lumion

• Creating basic walkthroughs and animations in Lumion
• Adding people, vehicles, and other animated objects to 3D scenes
• Exporting animations from Lumion
• Taking both the SketchUp and Lumion courses can be beneficial if you are interested in using 3D modelling and rendering software for architecture, engineering, construction, or interior design.

Here are some reasons why taking both courses can be valuable:

• Comprehensive Training: The SketchUp course will provide a solid foundation in creating 3D models while the Lumion course will teach you how to create photorealistic renderings and animations. Together, they offer comprehensive training in 3D modelling and rendering.
• Workflow Efficiency: Using both SketchUp and Lumion together can help streamline your workflow. You can create your 3D models in SketchUp and then import them into Lumion for rendering and animation.
• Career Advancement: By learning both SketchUp and Lumion, you will be equipped with skills that are in high demand in the architecture and design industry. This can help you advance your career and open new job opportunities.
• Increased Flexibility: Learning both SketchUp and Lumion can offer greater flexibility in the software you use for your projects. You can use SketchUp for creating 3D models, and Lumion for rendering and visualization, or use both software together.
• Overall, taking both the SketchUp and Lumion courses can give you a strong foundation in 3D modelling and rendering and help you develop the skills needed to succeed in the architecture and design industry.
• Anyone who would benefit from the use and understanding of an Architectural CAD solution for building management, visualisation and documentation.
