Course Details

Our 1-day Enscape training course is tailored for users of SketchUp and Vectorworks, designed to enhance your 3D rendering skills. (Also suitable for anyone using other compatible programs with differences highlighted). Whether you’re an architect, designer, or visual artist, this course will equip you with the knowledge to create high-quality visualisations and animations that bring your projects to life.

We start by introducing the Enscape interface and core operations, ensuring you understand how to navigate and utilise the software effectively. From there, we delve into the importance of good 3D modelling practices, preparing your models for optimal rendering results.

You’ll explore various camera views, synchronisation techniques, and how to light your scenes with both natural and artificial light sources. Our comprehensive coverage of materials includes using Enscape assets, creating custom materials and handling special types like water and glass.

The course also includes advanced techniques for lighting and materials, as well as tips for finalising scene details to achieve professional-level renders. We conclude with a focus on post-production techniques, video animations and output options, including VR and panoramas, ensuring you can deliver visually compelling presentations to your clients.

Course Target Audience and delegate prerequisites:

This course is aimed at current users of 3D packages including SketchUp, Vectorworks, Revit, Rhino, and Archicad looking to develop their models to more realistic renders with Enscape.

Delegates should have a solid existing knowledge of SketchUp, Vectorworks, or another compatible 3D application allowing more intermediate modelling skills and rendering preparation to be covered to suit your modelling requirements. Delegates should also have basic skills and working knowledge of Adobe Photoshop.
