About this workshop

This workshop is for students and designers who want to create clean, stylized 3D visuals quickly in real-time! The goal is to help you produce high-impact renderings and diagrams that clearly communicate your ideas and elevate your portfolio. Think of it as your shortcut to bold, polished visuals without spending hours in post-production.

We’ll be working with a provided 3D model of the Eldorado House by O2 Architecture and turn it into a full set of stylized diagrams and 3D views. The goal is to create clean, clear visuals that highlight the building, the site, and its context in a diagrammatic, design-forward way.

Using D5 Render, you’ll set up lighting, entourage, and camera angles to create a strong visual narrative. You’ll experiment with AO, outline mode, lighting moods, and phased compositions to build a cohesive diagrammatic set.

Expect to create:

Stylized aerials and site plans
3D diagram views with layered context
Clean, eye-catching visuals with a unique style. This workshop is all about using efficient workflows that allow you to present your designs clearly and quickly.

We chose D5 Render for this workshop because of its intuitive interface, fast rendering speed, and low learning curve, making it ideal for students to focus on design clarity rather than technical complexity.

The software is free to download, and students are eligible to apply for an EDU license that provides access to all Pro features—making it a practical and accessible tool for producing professional-quality visualizations efficiently.

What you will learn

Take a provided 3D model and transform it into a stylized, portfolio-ready scene using D5 Render
Use AO, outline, and diagram modes to create clear architectural visuals
Set up lighting that enhances mood and clarity without needing full realism
Place and style entourage in a way that supports your design narrative
Build site context using simple tools within D5
Frame camera views that showcase your project effectively
Export high-quality stills and simple animations for your portfolio
Develop a clean, consistent visual language that communicates your ideas clearly

Methodology

You’ll work independently throughout the workshop, giving you space to develop your own take on the scene. While everyone will start with the same 3D model of the Eldorado House by o2 Architecture, you’ll make your own choices when it comes to camera angles, lighting, entourage, and style.

Everything will be done directly in D5 Render. You’ll learn how to:

Set up and organize a 3D scene efficiently
Adjust lighting to create different moods
Use AO, outlines, and visual filters for diagram-style exports
Add and control entourage to enhance and support your design
Frame camera views and create short animations that communicate clearly

D5 was a new journey and I appreciate the hard work, although there is no D5 section in projects which is confusing and I hope you fix that. I also had problem with loading the videos. they kept stopping and I had to refresh the whole session to access them again. other than that, great course, looking forward to more free courses! thanks.
