Course detail
Computer Skills – 3D CAD
FA-P3D-NAcad. year: 2020/2021
The course introduces information on graphic vector editors and their use in architectural design. It covers the basic 3D computer graphics and the practical use of the theoretical knowledge for working in 3DS Max, Rhinoceros vector editor. The aim of the course is to master the methods which will allow students to build individually a 3D model of their design projects, and to create a photorealistic visualization.
