Students set up lighting, entourage, and camera angles in D5 Render, experiment with AO, outline mode, and phased compositions in Rhinoceros 3D and Adobe Photoshop, and export stylized aerials, site plans, 3D diagram views, and simple animations. The course is Beginner level, free to attend, and requires no prior D5 Render experience. ## What you'll 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 ## Curriculum ### Session Content - Introduction + PAACADEMY Updates (06:32) - D5 Visualization Fundamentals (30:37) - D5 Rendering Basics (46:23) - Material & Lighting Workflow (48:42) - Stylized D5 Rendering Workflow (59:40) ## FAQ ### Do I need prior experience with D5 Render to join this workshop?
