When you integrate illustration into architectural visualization projects, you can transcend the purely technical aspects of traditional modeling programs. With his experience as a designer specialized in 3D visualization, Alejandro Soriano shows you how to use your own perspective to transform your renders into impressive illustrations.
In this course, learn how to model a building and its surroundings from a DWG file with SketchUp. Alejandro teaches you how to set up the lighting and the materials you need to make a series of rendered images using V-Ray Next for SketchUp. Then, he shows you how to transfer the images to Adobe Photoshop for you to build your project, so you can obtain an image where the artistic component plays an important role.
If you want to learn SketchUp from scratch, you can also sign up for Alejandro's first course on Domestika, Introduction to SketchUp, on how to help you design and model in 3D in a fast, efficient, and professional way.
