Course Description

Hi and welcome to the course architectural design tools in blender 2.
8. Throughout this course you'll be learning how to create a photo realistic interior bathroom scene. We also look at rendering with the new Real time render engine Eevee. This is a great skill to have especially for 3D artists creating interior architectural spaces. We begin by exploring some creative tools in blender and sketch out our designs before turning them into a 2D floor plan. The next step is to transform these designs into 3D by modelling the elements of our interior scene. Here we will discover some very useful and powerful add-ons that assists in the creation of walls, doors and windows. Next you will learn to 3D model all the objects within the bathroom to give your scene a completed look. This is the where most of the hard work is done. The next stage is lighting. This is such an important aspect of interior architectural renders so we will use a high dynamic range image to light the scene, and give us real world lighting results. This leads us to materials and textures where you will learn to use Blenders material nodes to add a realistic material to everything in the scene. This is the fun part where you finally get to see how your scene looks when we preview a render.
By the end of this course you will be able to use the methods andtechniquesdemonstrated n this course to design, model and render your own unique3D models. Learn the basic concepts, tools and processes you will needto design and 3Dmodel interior scenes.
Content and OverviewThis course isproject basedwhere wewillcoverthe process of creating2D drawing layoutsin Blender. Using these layouts we will 3D model all the architectural elements from our design. Usingreal world lightingconditions you willbring yourmodern bathroomto the final stages andrender the final result..
In this course you are going to learn the whole process of creating a photo realistic interior bathroom scene. The course uses the very powerful free and open source software suite Blender.
The course is designed for practical learning that walks you step by step through the process from laying out your ideas on screen to creating custom 3D models, right the way through to adding materials, lighting, cameras and rendering the final scene.
When you complete this course you will be able to use Blender as the complete drafting and 3D visualization package. With the latest release of Blender comes a feature packed design suite waiting to be discovered.
This course is apractical approachand will allow you to developthe skills of 3Dmodeling while also seeing the result of our progress in real time. Learn the process of manipulating Blender to get the results you require and solve any tasks quickly and easily. The course takes you step by step through the process of modeling, adding material and rendering the final result.
The lessons are taught withpractical examplesand aimed at completing the architectural design project. Learning Blender doesn't need to be difficult and you should enjoy thejourneyas you create some amazing architectural renders and 3D models. This 3D design course will take you step by step through each critical stage and help you develop your skills along the way.
Learn how to design in this amazingly powerful 3D production suite and start designing architectural 3D models, design for 3D games, design unique 3D assets, design for 3D printed objects, or create amazing art work. Architectural visualizationin Blender will allow you to impress your clients with photo realistic animations and images of their proposed designs.

Thomas is great instructor.
In this course I learned how to model few different types of objects and incorporate them together in one scene, and I think I learned a lot. Thomas is teaching us how to use shortcuts just from the beginning, so till the end of this course I learned how to use them and speed the process of modeling. Also, I have to mention that he answered all my question in a really short time, and helped me to solved the problems. I would recommend this course.

A written description of hotkeys and topics would be helpful.

By Greg Beams on 10/1/2020

This is more of an intermediate course for Blender as the instructor covers things quickly but very effectively. I appreciated the fact that he didn't reiterate the basics but rather covered them as he went through them, quickly moving into the more advanced features and how to effectively use them to model and shade the scene.

very good and awesome course

By Jamelah Almaliki on 9/25/2020

I like the courser, I learn the basic very easy and I can start modeling.

Very interesting course.
Learned a lot!
Thank you!

By Christian Graham on 8/19/2020

I enjoyed the course and was able to take a few things from the modelling parts, but overall I felt that not enough of the process was explained in detail or expanded upon, especially materials and render settings for both Eevee and Cycles. The course felt rushed, and is less than half the stated length because the old course (made in an older version of blender) has been left in. I'm happy I got this at a heavy discount, otherwise I would have been upset with paying the full price for the content included.

It is a very detailed course. The tutor is extremely skilled in this software and provides all the tips and short cuts, at various stages making it easy for the students. I thoroughly enjoyed the course.
Thanks a ton to the tutor and Udemy..

it was pretty good

Explaining to fast

By Madina Jah on 6/16/2020

Thomas is a great instructor and he goes out of his way to answer questions when I don't know if he needs to. He tries his best in the tutorials to explain as easy as possible. I am an absolute beginner and this course was easy for me to understand. Best advice is to always research on your own first of the questions you have so you are use to finding out answers yourself. All that is left is practice and to try to remember all the steps. Thank you Thomas!

This course does not include "ArchiPack" addon which is included in his different course. I would recommend checking all of his courses before purchase. Otherwise, you could end up purchasing multiple courses which seems quite duplicated each other.
