ARC 314 - Architectural Rendering BasicsCredits: 3 Instructional Contact Hours: 3
Introduces 3D studio VIZ rendering mechanisms/AutoCAD rendering mechanisms. Operates camera angles, creates light sources, digital materials and applies existing digital materials to 3D model from ARC 114 . Introduces rendering techniques in both 3D studio VIZ and AutoCAD. Renders bitmap image for final class project. Continues, from ARC 214 , to next logical sequential rendering level.
Prerequisite(s): ARC 214 or working knowledge of AutoCAD and permission of the instructor Corequisite(s): None Lecture Hours: 45 Lab Hours: 0 Meets MTA Requirement: None Pass/NoCredit: Yes
