## About this course

SubD Intelligence is a two-day course on PAACADEMY that teaches SubD modeling in Rhinoceros 3D, real-time visualization in Chaos Enscape, and AI-assisted rendering using ReRenderAI and Gemini. Participants develop a conceptual architectural design from scratch, applying SubD tools to create and refine complex forms, then set up materials, lighting, and camera views in Enscape before using AI tools to elevate the final rendered outputs. The course is suitable for both participants new to SubD and those looking to strengthen their visualization and presentation workflow.

## What you'll learn

- Create and edit complex forms using Rhino’s SubD tools

- Develop a complete conceptual model through guided exercises

- Optimize geometry for rendering and visualization workflows

- Set up materials, lighting, and camera views in Enscape

- Enhance visual outputs with ReRenderAI and Gemini

- Produce polished final renderings ready for presentation

## Methodology

The workshop emphasizes hands-on learning through a structured sequence of demonstrations, guided exercises, and individual exploration. Participants will follow a prepared parametric design example, applying SubD techniques step-by-step to build and refine their models.

Key workflows will be demonstrated live, with time allocated for troubleshooting and personalized guidance. Once the geometry is finalized, the focus shifts to visualization, where participants will set up real-time rendering environments and experiment with AI tools to elevate their outputs.
