What software will I use throughout this workshop?

You will work with Unreal Engine 5, Rhinoceros 3D, and Grasshopper.

Do I need prior experience with Unreal Engine or Rhino before enrolling?

No prior knowledge of Unreal Engine is required, but intermediate knowledge of Rhino and basic knowledge of Grasshopper are expected.

What node-based systems and workflow pipelines within Unreal Engine 5 will be taught?

You will learn the Rhino-to-Unreal Engine pipeline, Unreal Engine’s material node-based system, the Blueprint node-based interactive system, and the Procedural Content Generation (PCG) system.

Can I use my own 3D CAD models during the workshop exercises?

Yes, while a sample starting file is provided, participants are encouraged to use their own CAD models as a base to create custom interactive experiences.

What practical deliverables and skills will I gain by the end of the workshop?

You will learn to convert CAD models into standalone interactive Windows applications, animate scenes with timelines, and implement optimization strategies for heavy scenes in Unreal Engine 5.

"The Unreal Engine Blueprint" teaches architects and CAD designers to transform their designs into interactive experiences in Unreal Engine.

Learn from Gediminas Kirdeikis

Gediminas Kirdeikis1 course

The workshop aims to form a foundational understanding of Unreal Engine’s Blueprint system and explore its use for architects and other CAD designers. Participants will learn how to make their CAD models fully interactive and presentable to the client through the injection of game-development systems present in Unreal Engine 5.

Unreal Engine

Rhinoceros 3D

Throughout the workshop, we will go through the whole process of taking a CAD design and making it interactive. Due to this, the framework will be rigid and aimed at intermediate to advanced users of Rhino and complete novice users of Unreal Engine 5. While a sample starting file will be provided, the users will be urged to use their own designs as a kick-off point.

The workflow will be split into clear steps, after each of which a Q&A session will be held to ensure that no participants are left behind.

While the attendees are going to be introduced to a variety of different systems present in Unreal Engine 5 - there will be clear distinction between them with clarification as to when each system should be used.

Gediminas is an architect and a lecturer based in Sweden. He works as a course coordinator for the Architecture Department of Lund University, runs two computation-design-oriented channels on YouTube, and is also a co-founder of Very Good Architecture Company (Lithuania). His current work/research revolves around real-time environment generation and manipulation techniques - where he's investigating how new emergent technologies can enrich the industry of architecture. This includes but is not limited to - path-finding within complex structures, character/avatar design, interaction of two participants within the digital realm, and representation techniques of Metabolist megastructures.

From Prompting to Spatial Directorship

This was one of the most immediately useful AI visualization workshops I have taken. Pouya’s workflow made a clear distinction between simply generating attractive images and actually directing AI with architectural intent. The strongest takeaway for me was the idea of spatial directorship: controlling camera, composition, materials, lighting, atmosphere, and design fidelity through a structured workflow rather than relying on unpredictable outputs. The progression from raw 3D views and sketches to refined hero images and cinematic sequences felt practical and transferable. For my AutoTroph work, this is especially valuable because it adds a much stronger communication layer to computational research. It gives me a way to translate complex generative ideas into images and motion without losing the architectural logic behind them.

I loved it! it was amazing!!

I never thought this course could help me so much! Naomi, you explain everything in such an incredible way: So clearly, patiently, and calmly :) For personal reasons, I wasn’t able to attend the course live, but I was able to watch all the videos at my own pace and practice a lot along the way. You make everything so easy to understand, no matter your level. I’ve achieved incredible results, and I’m so happy with everything I’ve learned. Thank you so, so much!!

Excellent Course for Architectural Competitions

A very useful and well-structured course that clearly explains how to use AI throughout the architectural competition process, from understanding and rethinking the brief to concept development, visualization, presentation boards, and final submission. I learned practical methods that can improve creativity, workflow, storytelling, and the overall quality of competition projects.

Comprehensive introduction to Maya modeling for architectural design

The course offered a clear, structured deep dive into Autodesk Maya’s essential modeling tools and workflows. I gained a solid grasp of polygon modeling, edge flow control, and core surface techniques tailored for conceptual form-finding and complex architectural geometry.
