Issam Chahine - Idea to Reality (www.ideatoreality.com)

This seminar discusses creating simple 3D models to use in design and design development of your projects. It will cover use of color, viewing in 3D, 3D repeated items, and some of the simple tools to create 3D geometry. Learn also how to effectively extract 2D construction documentation information such as elevations and sections from your 3D model.



3D Rendering & Finishing Techniques
Issam Chahine - Idea to Reality (www.ideatoreality.com)

In this seminar you will learn how to take a rendering generated from a 3D model and superimpose it over a picture of a site to show the look of the building in the context of its site. The steps include taking the appropriate picture, creating a view of the model that matches the picture, creating the rendering, adding the rendering over the picture in Photoshop, and using editing techniques to complete the merge between the photograph and rendering. An example of the results of this process, may be found by going to www.ideatoreality.com and clicking on Existing and Proposed above the main picture.
