Syllabus

Lesson 1 – Introduction and Modelling (6:10). In this lesson we discuss what’s in store and provide an overview of the modelling process, complete with some best practices.

Lesson 2 – Datasmith Export & Import (17:04). This lesson walks you through how to export from SketchUp and then import into Unreal Engine using Datasmith. We also explain some best practices in both programmes, while we’re there.

Lesson 3 – Lighting (10:15). Here we setup a full environmental lighting rig, including a sun light, sky light, atmosphere, volumetric clouds and a subtle hint of fog. In Unreal Engine as you make changes to your main sun light all of the other lights follow suit as it would in real life, it’s amazing!

Lesson 4 – Post Process Volume (14:55). This needed a full lesson of it’s own as it’s so important in affecting the quality of your global illumination, reflections, colour grading, shadows … Pretty much everything you’re looking at! So, sit back and enjoy how this amazing little box can transform your scenes!

Lesson 5 – Texturing Part 1 (35:36). Here, we populate the scene with stock materials mainly from Quixel Megascans, which is built into UE5 as standard! This lesson is a showcase of how quickly you can add textures to a scene, especially if setup correctly within your modelling software; ie. assigning basic colours to different elements, ready for replacement in unreal engine.

Lesson 6 – Texturing Part 2 (40:58). In this lesson we go through some techniques to create bespoke textures if the ready made libraries from Quixel and other sources aren’t quite doing it for us.

Lesson 7 – Importing High Quality Assets (26:32). A crucial part of realistic rendering is the assets you use to populate a scene. This lesson goes through all of the options available to you to maximise the quality of your shots.

Lesson 8 – Cameras (47:30). This lesson starts with a final option for importing assets into your scene and swiftly moves into setting up cameras for maximum realism!

Lesson 9 – Rendered Stills (39:45). Using Unreal Engine’s amazing, in-built, rendering engine called the Path Tracer we explain how you can render various still shots for realistic results.

Lesson 10 – Animation (17:24). We round off the course with the basics of animating cameras for path traced and ray traced rendering.

I recently started my own practice and wanted to get some inspiration for how my fee letters and other documents should be set up. I got the Architects Tool Kit, and it was fantastic. The purchase process was quick & easy, and I had my products immediately via email.

We have been really impressed with ArchAdemia. What makes this platform unique is the in-depth training videos designed for real life practice. We currently incorporate this platform for the training programme of our new colleagues which also removes the tedious process of assembling different training videos from different sources.

ArchAdemia is a great source of information! They have plenty of courses which I am sure I will use, but also the packs they have contain a variety of sketch up models, revit models and planning/ design and access reports, which are really helpful when you are looking at how to graphically lay out your work.
