 Autodesk VIZ Essentials Course Description
Course Description:
Autodesk VIZ is one of the most sophisticated and powerful visualization tools in its class. The goal of this course is to present students with the basic tools needed to work in VIZ, such as how to configure and render scenes, create and edit 3D geometry, understand and apply lighting and materials for realism, and create desktop animations. Attendees should have some knowledge of 3D modeling concepts prior to attending this course.
Suggested Course Duration: 3 days
Trial CD: Yes
Training Objectives
Upon completion of this course the student will:
- Be familiar with the VIZ interface
- Understand basic VIZ modeling functions for creating and modifying geometry
- Understand the basic VIZ configuration options (video modes, paths, units, interface, preferences)
- Know how to link and import data from other applications to VIZ
- Know how to generate 3D geometry from 2D objects
- Apply materials to objects and control material parameters for greater realism and use standard and architectural materials
- Understand the differences between Local Illumination (standard lighting) and Global Illumination and how to apply each in a scene
- Use appropriate rendering options to achieve desired effects for rendered output (including mental ray)
- Create a simple animation from a VIZ scene
