Residential Design and Visualization: Concept Development

On This page you can download Residential Design and Visualization: Concept Development video course from Lynda with High Speed & Direct link.

today we’re going to look at how to develop residential design concepts using SketchUp, Photoshop, and Unity. Now this course is the first step in a process that will cover how to create a residential project from scratch. We’ll start here with concept development then move through the entire design process to final rendering in 3D. In this course we’ll block out a basic concept for presentation to the client.

We’ll start with reference then move on to roughing out the structure using both 2D and 3D tools. After that we’ll go into SketchUp to rough out the structure itself, keeping in mind that revisions and changes happen a lot in the design process. Once the structure is in place, we’ll look at ways to communicate your designs to the client. We’ll show techniques for both 2D presentations as well as how to do interactive walk-throughs and virtual reality.

So let’s get started developing our concepts.

By The End of This training Course, you learned how to create a conceptual design for a single family home and enhance your skills for generate 2D and 3D floorplans and walkthroughs.

Concept Development Topics include:

• Finding inspiration
• Sketching and drawing
• Working in 3D
• Conceptualizing the structure, from foundation to roof
• Adding color, texture, and detail
• Creating 2D floor plans and elevations
• Creating video walkthroughs
• Creating virtual reality visualizations using game engines
