Mastering the rendering process has many benefits:

Firstly, it will help you to provide better designs. Having the possibility of generating photo-realistic renders from the early stage of your design will increase your creativity and will help you to make better decisions.

Going forward, it will allow you to work in partnership with your clients more effectively. Once the client understands your project better, they will in turn, be better able to express press their needs. You will then be able to provide exactly what the clients have dreamt of.

You will also be able to generate those renders quickly, and you won’t be depending on someone else to do them.

Finally, you will be able to start building an impressive portfolio.

The DVD is split in 4 sections and contains 30 movies. Each movie has been carefully planned and edited to provide you with the best information in the minimum amount of time. We will start with an empty project and we will build everything together, step by step.

The first section explains the fundamental notions that need to be clearly understood in the photo-rendering settings. We will also see how to set up the new Lightworks lights.

The second section is a study on the new Lightworks material. Each material is composed by 6 different classes: Colour, Reflectance, Transparency, Displacement, Texture Space and Pipeline. Each class has a very important function, and each class contains many shaders to achieve different types of results. Most of the shaders are studied in this DVD with a real-life example of what they can be used to.

The third section gives useful tricks that you’ll always need when you are doing photo-renderings. Among them, you’ll find:
In the last section, we put all the things that we learnt together to finish our project. We generate exterior renders, interior renders, night renders, and then we see how to enhance those renders in Photoshop, and how to mix them together.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced user of ArchiCAD, there is definitely much to learn in this DVD. So, order it now! And start making stunning 3D renders that will impress clients, employers, teachers, and most of all you…..!
