Computer Applications

This course will be introducing students to the world of Computer Generated 3-Dimensional drawings. The course will be taught with minimal handouts but there will be lectures and tutorial sessions for the students in order to experiment with the software. Students are advised to practice daily, as only through practice will they be able to understand and master the software. They are also encouraged to carry out self-research in regards to the other capabilities and more complicated features of 3DS Max and Revit Architecture. Students will also be taught the potential of “cross breeding” different softwares, in order to garner the necessary desired results for their visualisation work.

Project 1 (Revit Modeling & Documentation )

This project involves the production of Revit model of the selected architecture design using Architectural Components such as Wall, Roof, Stairs, Floor, Curtain Wall, Doors and Windows. At the end of the project, the model shall be used to generate documentation drawings, using Revit Architecture’s Documentation Components such as Sheets, Titleblock, Sections, Room Tags, Schedule & etc.

Project 2 (Exterior & Interior Renderings )

This project involves the production of photorealistic still renderings using 3DS Max of the selected architecture design with materials, appropriate camera views and post-production enhancement on the visual outcome. The visualisation work would be assessed on the types and ways materials are used, types of lights and effects used to set up the scene, setup of appropriate camera views for rendering and skills of using post-production tools to enhance the visual outcome.
