- Use of network, mirror and alignment tools.
- Architectural objects (wall, window, door, staircase, railing, foliage).
- Polygonal modeling (extrusion tools, chamfers, insertion, bridging, smoothing, etc.).
Hands-on work
Modeling objects in a scene.
3 Materials management
- The materials editor with its options and simple or detailed mode.
- Different types of materials and textures (physical, standard, multi-subobject, bitmap, noise, color correction).
- Multi-subobject and materials to apply multiple materials.
- Application of UVW texture coordinates.
Hands-on work
Place materials and textures on 3D objects.
4 Using the lights
- Photometric lights and the daylight or sun positioner system.
- In-depth photometric light settings using photographic exposure control.
- Photo studio and architectural lighting techniques.
Hands-on work
Creating multiple lights in a scene.
5 Render creation
