Sketch up & Lumion Training in Nepal

In this module, students will build a strong foundation in SketchUp modeling by learning key tools and techniques for efficient and precise 3D modeling.

• Understanding SketchUp’s workspace and toolsets
• Basic drawing and modeling tools: Lines, arcs, rectangles, and push/pull
• Groups & Components: Creating reusable elements
• Inference & Snapping: Precision modeling techniques
• Using layers and tags for better model organization
• Importing and exporting files (CAD, 3D models, images, etc.)

By mastering the core modeling techniques, learners will be prepared to build complex structures with precision and efficiency.

In this module, students will move beyond the basics to develop detailed and realistic 3D models suited for professional design work.

• Modeling architectural structures – walls, floors, roofs, and openings
• Creating detailed furniture and interior elements
• Complex 3D shapes and organic modeling
• Using plugins for advanced modeling (e.g., Fredo6, Curviloft, JHS PowerBar)
• Applying materials, textures, and UV mapping for realistic surfaces
• Optimizing models for better performance and rendering

With these techniques, students will be equipped to create high-quality, fully detailed 3D models ready for rendering and presentation.

In this module, students will learn how to integrate SketchUp models into Lumion and leverage its real-time rendering capabilities for faster, high-quality visualizations.

• Understanding Lumion’s interface and workflow
• Importing SketchUp models into Lumion
• Adjusting scale, positioning, and alignment
• Working with Lumion’s object library
• Understanding real-time rendering concepts

A strong grasp of Lumion’s tools ensures a seamless transition from SketchUp modeling to professional-grade rendering.

In this module, students will enhance their designs by applying high-quality materials and textures to create lifelike visualizations.

• Assigning and customizing materials for realistic visualization
• Enhancing materials with reflections, transparency, and glossiness
• Using Lumion’s material library vs. custom materials
• Creating water, glass, metal, and fabric effects
• Optimizing textures for high-quality rendering

By carefully applying textures and materials, students can ensure that their models look lifelike and meet professional visualization standards.

In this module, students will explore lighting and environmental settings to add depth, realism, and atmosphere to their 3D scenes.

• Setting up daylight, night scenes, and custom lighting
• Working with global illumination and HDR lighting
• Adding artificial lights (spotlights, area lights, and emissive surfaces)
• Adjusting shadows, ambient occlusion, and soft lighting effects
• Simulating realistic environmental effects (fog, rain, snow, etc.)

A well-lit scene combined with optimized environmental settings will result in high-quality, professional-grade renders.

In this module, students will learn how to enhance architectural projects by adding realistic landscapes and urban environments to their scenes.

• Using Lumion’s terrain editor for landscape modeling
• Adding vegetation, trees, and natural elements
• Designing parks, gardens, and outdoor areas
• Integrating roads, sidewalks, and urban elements
• Creating realistic terrain textures and height maps

By integrating landscapes and urban settings, students can make their designs more immersive and suitable for professional presentations.

In this module, students will learn how to create dynamic and engaging animations to showcase their designs effectively.

• Creating professional walkthroughs and flythroughs
• Setting up camera angles, transitions, and paths
• Adding object animations for dynamic scenes
• Enhancing realism with motion blur and depth of field
• Exporting high-resolution videos for presentations

With well-structured animations, students will be able to present their projects in a compelling and interactive way.

In this module, students will refine their rendering techniques and apply post-processing effects to enhance final visual outputs.

• Configuring high-quality rendering settings
• Balancing performance and realism in render settings
• Post-processing in Lumion: adding filters and effects
• Exporting final renders (images, animations, 360° panoramas)
• Editing renders in Photoshop for final touch-ups

With effective rendering and post-processing techniques, students will be able to deliver polished and professional visualization projects.

In this module, students will work on a real-world project to apply all the skills learned and create a professional portfolio.

• Working on a live architectural visualization project
• Applying best practices from modeling to rendering
• Creating a portfolio of high-quality renders and animations
• Final assessment and feedback from trainers
• Tips for freelancing and job opportunities in 3D visualization

Completing a live project and assembling a professional portfolio will significantly enhance students’ career prospects in 3D modeling and rendering.
