Archviz Image Generalist

Module 1 - Beginner 3D artist course

The demand for visual design communication is increasingly on the rise. Especially in the architecture industry, where clients and competition jury members expect concepts to be represented in the most compelling way. The majority of design software can produce basic visualizations, but they fall short of the artistry and level of professionalism needed to succeed in the market.

Brick has established its reputation as one of the most renowned studios in the architectural visualization industry. Their artists share valuable expertise through their educational brand, Brick Academy, which extends its curriculum to MOME Open via this course.

The theoretical and practical sessions will give you a comprehensive overview of the proper technical foundations of archviz and the artistic principles that make a standout image. You will be mentored by Brick artists who have gathered years of experience by working on the most prestigious international projects. The course is recommended for complete beginners or novice 3D artists and architects who want to learn a future-proof profession.

What will you learn?

The course will mostly focus on the technical aspects of archviz. By the end of the course, you will feel more confident in your ability to create high-quality exterior visualizations with Autodesk 3ds Max and Vray. You will learn the basics of the craft, from navigating your way around the user interface to basic architectural modeling, light and camera settings, and creating shaders and life-like vegetation.

What makes this course special?

  • The course was designed by Brick, one of the market leaders in archviz
  • Seasoned experts will provide you with practical tips for a quick development
  • The workshop sessions will be held at Brick’s HQ in a well-equipped environment.
  • Brick will provide you with all the technical infrastructure you need, including top-notch and powerful PCs with AMD Ryzen 9 CPU (no need to bring your own PC/laptops)
  • You will gain unique insights into how Brick artists create visuals for world-famous architecture firms

This course is for you if

  • you don’t have any experience in creating visualizations with 3ds Max and Vray
  • you want to craft more realistic architectural visualizations while tackling technical challenges
  • you are a practicing architect who wants to include archviz in your portfolio of services
