Are you experienced in AutoCAD but only know how to model in 2D?! This course will introduce you to the 3D concepts and commands and allow you to level up your AutoCAD skills.
Whether you have used AutoCAD for years or have just completed our 2D course, this course will show you how to create in 3D and really make your models come to life.
Create 3D models from 2D designs, set up the scene, add materials, lights and cameras. Create photorealistic images to show off your creations or walk through them in 3D.
After learning the basics of AutoCAD many people want to move on to more advanced concepts. 3D is becoming more popular as it makes it much easier to visualize the end result of a project. In moving into 3D however, there is much more to learn than just the 3D modeling aspect. In order to present your finished image, you need to know about camera placement, lighting the scene, and applying realistic-looking materials.
This course was designed for the AutoCAD user with experience in 2D that would like to learn to use the 3D commands. The course includes practice files and a realistic project to allow you to put into practice the skills as you learn them. Throughout this AutoCAD course, you’ll be creating your own real-world realistic project that is indicative of the kind you might be asked to create in the workplace. You will learn how to produce a professional model to industry standards and hopefully inspire you to do even more!
In this course, we cover advanced 2D drawing methods before moving on to 3D modeling and showing how to model a range of objects. We then use these methods to convert a 2D drawing into a 3D model that we can work with, in the following chapters.
Real-World Skills
During the course, you will be following along to create a 3D building from the dimensions given. After this course, you will have all the skills necessary to create your own 3D models whether for business or leisure purposes.
Become a Professional AutoCAD Drafter
With the skills learned in this course, you’ll have a highly-desired skill that can help you get jobs and make money as an AutoCAD Drafter.
AutoCAD is an industry-standard and most widely used application when it comes to CAD software, so it’s important for you to learn it if you want to be a professional designer.
Why learn AutoCAD from us?
With over 20 years of experience in a variety of design & CAD Management roles, Mike Freeman knows AutoCAD inside out.
Many instructors teach outdated methods which have no place in modern real-world use. The skills you will learn here will allow you to not only create professional drawings but allow you to enter the workplace with relevant CAD knowledge that will show any future client or employer that you were taught well.
