Computer Application
Tutor :
Mr. Bruce Lee Xia Sheng
We were introduced to the world of Computer Generated 3-Dimensional drawings. We are advised to practice daily, as only through practice will they be able to understand and master the software. We are also encouraged to carry out self-research in regards to the other capabilities and more complicated features of 3DS Max and Revit Architecture. We will also be taught the potential of “cross breeding” different softwares, in order to garner the necessary desired results for their visualisation work.
Project 1
This project involves the production of Revit model of the selected architecture design using Architectural Components such as Wall, Roof, Stairs, Floor, Curtain Wall, Doors and Windows. At the end of the project, the model used to generate documentation drawings, using Revit Architecture’s Documentation Components such as Sheets, Titleblock, Sections, Room Tags, Schedule & etc.
Project 2
This project involves the production of photorealistic still renderings using 3DS Max of the selected architecture design with materials, appropriate camera views and post-production enhancement on the visual outcome. The visualisation work assessed on the types and ways materials are used, types of lights and effects used to set up the scene, setup of appropriate camera views for rendering and skills of using post-production tools to enhance the visual outcome.

In this 2 projects, i used to understand the basic tools in Revit. I understood and applied Revit Architecture’s modelling tools to generate a building model. I also understood and executed the Documentation Components of Revit Architecture to create drawings documentation. Besides that, i learned to o produce photorealistic renderings using 3dsmax and photoshop as post production.
