This level 8 Certificate programme provides the learner with a single 5 ECTS module, which is taught over two weeks. This programme is designed to explore and advanced rendering skills using advised rendering software.
The programme creates opportunities for learners to take individual professional design responsibility for their product and their process and develop an ability to lead teams within their disciplines.
Through the course, students will:
Produce photorealistic images of BIM models and project proposals.
Light and render buildings to a high degree of expertise while achieving an accurate and aesthetically pleasing visualisation of a proposed design.
Identify, select and apply appropriate products, materials and fittings based on an understanding of technology and specifications to a professional standard.
Advanced Rendering (5 ECTS)
This module enables the learner to develop advanced rendering skills using rendering software. They will be facilitated to research and specify materials, textures, natural and artificial lighting to support an accurate and photorealistic visualization of a proposed design. Learners will focus on the generation of interior and exterior renders from 3D model views, and produce a walkthrough, using advanced rendering techniques. Work-flow skills will be developed through learning by doing.
