Unreal Engine Exterior Architectural visualization Course

3D visualization in architecture is one of the methods used by architects, engineers and designers to communicate their ideas to clients, developers and investors. The term used for this type of visualization amongst architectural visualization professionals is “Archviz.” There are many tools used by Archviz professionals to achieve the final result; like V-Ray, Lumion, D5-render and Twinmotion. However we won’t be focusing on any of these tools in this course. Our main focus will be on how to use Unreal Engine to achieve the best looking 3D visualization possible. Before we move further, I’d like to establish a naming convention that may be used interchangeably throughout this document and course. From time to time I will use the acronym “UE5” as a replacement for Unreal Engine 5. Now that that has been established? Let’s move on to more pressing matters. So why use UE5 over other rendering engines? The short answer is real-time rendering, versatility and flexibility. Unreal Engine 5 is not just a rendering tool, but it can also be used for simulation and other graphical visualization. The beauty of using UE5 is that your 3D assets can be used in many ways. All the other aforementioned software like Lumion do not offer the same flexibility you get from Unreal Engine 5. By the end of this course you will gain a good understanding of how to take your 3D models from Revit to 3DS MAX and then into UE5 where we will create the final 3D visualization. The rest of this document will give you the outline and breakdown of the course material.
