Leveraging the potential of video game engines to create engaging presentation materials for architecture and interior design projects is the focus of this course. Unity is a software development environment that will be used to create interactive "walk-through" simulations and other experiences. Topics include: interface, navigation and project structure; texture maps and creating materials; HDRI and direct lighting; point lights and area lights; adding entourage; real-time lighting versus baked lighting; lighting probes; post-processing stack. Cutting-edge technology that is becoming the industry standard in architectural visualization is addressed throughout the course.
Prerequisite: A working knowledge of 3D modeling.
