The Scope of the Workshop:

We’ll be working with a provided 3D model of the Eldorado House by o2 Architecture and turn it into a full set of stylized diagrams and 3D views. The goal is to create clean, clear visuals that highlight the building, the site, and its context in a diagrammatic, design-forward way.

Using D5 Render, you’ll set up lighting, entourage, and camera angles to create a strong visual narrative. You’ll experiment with AO, outline mode, lighting moods, and phased compositions to build a cohesive diagrammatic set.

Expect to create:

  • Stylized aerials and site plans
  • 3D diagram views with layered context
  • Clean, eye-catching visuals with a unique style

This workshop is all about using efficient workflows that allow you to present your designs clearly and quickly.

What You Will Learn:

By the end of the workshop, you’ll be able to:

  • Take a provided 3D model and transform it into a stylized, portfolio-ready scene using D5 Render
  • Use AO, outline, and diagram modes to create clear architectural visuals
  • Set up lighting that enhances mood and clarity without needing full realism
  • Place and style entourage in a way that supports your design narrative
  • Build site context using simple tools within D5
  • Frame camera views that showcase your project effectively
  • Export high-quality stills and simple animations for your portfolio
  • Develop a clean, consistent visual language that communicates your ideas clearly
