Department of Spatial Design (UPT)

Of all faculties

The aim of the course is to master the methods which will allow students to create individually a 3D model of their architectural design, and to create a photorealistic visualization.

• Students will get information for the work with spatial data in CAD editor.
• Students will master working in vector editor (Rhinoceros).
• Students will master the methods and processes for creating spatial model of a studied object.
• Students will master methods and processes for creating photorealistic visualization of 3D models.
• Students will be able to create simple animation.

The assessment consists of the developed project and a credit test. The 3D project and the photorealistic visualization of a selected building or object using the methods mastered in the individual practicals. The output is a 3D model (.3dm) and a simple animation. The project forms 45 % of the assessment. Students are required to work continuously which forms 15 % of the assessment. The credit test verifies the knowledge and forms 40 % of the assessment.
The initial block of practicals is not compulsory. Students must participate in 80 % of the remaining practicals at minimum. Absences cannot be compensated, they could be only excused for serious reasons.
In the case of a student's apology and with approval of the course guarantor, personal participation may be substituted with online participation in the lesson.
