In this module, we will explore the detailed settings of the PhotoRendering palette and review the key factors that influence the quality of renders. Gain a deeper understanding of how to optimize settings for achieving high-quality visualizations.

In this module, you’ll learn how Global Illumination works. Also, we’ll dive deep into the various Cinerender mechanisms available and explore the results obtained from different combinations of these mechanisms.

In this module, we’ll explore the diverse range of lighting options in Archicad. You’ll learn how to effectively simulate various types of natural light, including the sun, physical sky, and HDRi sky. Additionally, we’ll discover different general light sources and gain insights into illuminating surfaces for optimal visual impact.

In this module, we’ll look at sampling settings that affect the quality of rendering and allow us to get rid of artifacts that occur when there is insufficient or too bright lighting. We then learn an important setting that controls shadow casting behind transparent objects and in reflections.

This module discusses the basic settings for Physical Rendering. You’ll learn how to apply the settings used in real cameras to create realistic and physically correct renders. Also, you’ll learn the various sampling modes available in physical rendering and understand the advantages they offer.

Please take the quiz in order to complete the course. You need to pass both quizzes to get the course certification.

Surface customization is a very large and interesting topic. In this module, we’ll talk about the key settings within each surface channel, unlocking the ability to create realistic surfaces that accurately simulate a wide range of real-world materials.

In this module, we'll look at all the lighting effects that can be created with General Light Sources. Discover how to create captivating visual elements such as visible light, caustics, lens flares, and more, breathing life into your visualizations.

In this module, we’ll step into realm of artistic effects. You’ll discover techniques to enhance the realism of visualizations or transform them into comic book-style illustrations or vintage photographs. Explore the application of basic color correction and learn how to achieve balanced lighting in your renderings.

In this module, we’ll look under the hood of Cinerender. You’ll study the settings collected in the General Options section of the PhotoRendering Settings palette. You’ll understand why these settings have a significant impact on the quality and speed of rendering.
