There are 2 modules in this course
This module introduces learners to the complete workflow for creating a pavilion design in SketchUp, starting from project understanding and spatial planning to foundational 3D modeling. Learners explore how to interpret design intent, organize functional spaces using top and 2D views, and transition layouts into accurate 3D forms. By the end of the module, learners establish a structurally sound pavilion model with correct proportions and spatial alignment, forming a strong base for detailing and rendering in subsequent modules.

This module focuses on enhancing the pavilion model through surface detailing, tool-based refinement, and photorealistic visualization. Learners apply SketchUp patterns and tools to improve surface quality and design consistency, then use V-Ray to assign materials, configure rendering parameters, and prepare presentation-ready scenes. The module concludes with background setup techniques that elevate the visual realism and professional quality of the final pavilion render.
