FAST-BH51Acad. year: 2009/2010

Contens of the subjekt is to acquaint students with basics of creation 3D models of buildings from 2D drawings and processing them in the form of visualisation. For creation of 3D model is used software Rhinoceros 3D (for examples look at www.rhino3d.com). Visualisation, setting cameras, lighting and assigning materials to the scene is taught in 3D Studio VIZ 2005, which is alternative of 3D Studio MAX rebuild for architectural purposes.
