Using Dynamic Views in 2D Blended Learning Virtual Classroom, United Kingdom Mar. 17, 2015 – 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM UTC Mieke Pol
Before learning how to work with dynamic views in a 3D environment, this blended learning module will show you how to create detail views manually and how to use a drawing model in a 2D environment. Thus you will become acquainted with the drawing composition workflow and experience that it can be applied to 2D models too.
Students registering for this Live instructor-led module are expected to watch the corresponding video lecture(s)prior to attending the Live session. You can find these lectures in the On-Demand section of this course. Please also watch the first video lecture in the module Introduction Dynamic Views.

Leveraging Saved Environments and Impact of Solar Light on Your Design using Solar Path and Air Quality Virtual Classroom, Australia Mar. 18, 2015 – 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM AWST Michael Belke
Render using Luxology' s environments using different sky types and visibility options. Learn to save your rendering environment. Which can later be used to provide many types of indirect lighting to illuminate a roadway scene . This results in a much more photorealistic rendering. Produce accurate renderings outside, simulating real environmental conditions, such as Air Quality, haze or smoke. Determine sun position for your designs by placing your scene at an exact location. This is crucial to correct lighting. Defining north and the sun position, the exact path provides realistic rendering.
Controlling the Display of Designs Virtual Classroom, United Kingdom Mar. 18, 2015 – 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM UTC Mieke Pol
In this course, you will learn how to control the display of designs and drawings by using the viewing tools and view attributes, and by changing the display of levels.
Using AccuDraw and AccuSnap Virtual Classroom, United Kingdom Mar. 18, 2015 – 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM UTC Mieke Pol
In this course, you will learn how to draw accurately and efficiently by using the drawing aids AccuDraw and AccuSnap.
Customizing the Dynamic Views Workflow Virtual Classroom, United Kingdom Mar. 19, 2015 - 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM UTC Mieke Pol
In this course, you will learn how to customize the dynamic views workflow by creating customized drawing seeds and detailing symbol styles.

Balance Lighting Quickly and Often, Leveraging Effects Manager for Refined Outdoor/Structure Lighting Virtual Classroom, Australia Mar. 20, 2015 – 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM AWST Michael Belke
Define the outdoor environment using the Environmental Settings our final ingredient and use Lighting Manager to create the best balanced true to life lighting and produce it quickly. Refine and balance the brightness of the visible sky, indirect lighting like high mast luminaires or lighting schemes for piers/superstructures, and solar lighting. Dialing in lighting can be time consuming and an iterative process. Effects Manager will quicken this process and allow those settings to be pushed back to the design for final presentation rendering.
