Description
This module focuses on delivering core BIM and 3d skills to enable students to produce a digital 3d models of an urban site and design proposal. The module also develops the learners skills in designing and documenting their own proposals using BIM and Third party rendering software. Students will move beyond BIM software to produce high quality renderings and animations of their own work.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Use BIM software to develop 3d and 2d documentation
2.
Work as part of a group to produce a 3d model of an urban site
3.
Create massing studies using 3d software
4.
Produce high quality architectural presentations using third party rendering software
5.
Prepare data for export to other software for physical model making and digital rendering
6.
Produce 3d topo surfaces from survey data
Teaching and Learning Strategies
Architectural Drawing and Communication 4: Advanced Representation is taught using a combination of practical based tutorials and workshops. Both individual and group work modes are utilised throughout.
Module Assessment Strategies
A series of weekly practical skill-based assignments must be completed. These are submitted as a portfolio at the end of the semester for assessment.
Modes: 100% continuous formative assessment of coursework throughout the semester and final portfolio review and summative assessment at end of semester.
Repeat Assessments
Repeat assessment will be dependent on failed components. This will be confirmed at formal exam boards.

Unreal Engine 4 for Design Visualization is the first UE4 development guide written for non-gaming professionals and artists, bringing together all the knowledge they need to leverage UE4's immense power. World-class UE4 expert Thomas B. Shannon first introduces Unreal Engine 4's components and technical concepts, giving readers a strong foundation for all that comes next. Next, he mentors readers through the entire process of building outstanding visualization content for environment, audiences, and customers -- all with realistic, carefully documented, start-to-finish example projects. Reflecting the questions most often asked about visualization with UE4, Shannon addresses issues ranging from data import and processing to lighting, advanced materials, and rendering. Throughout, all content is written from the perspective of visualization users in architecture, engineering, or science, not gaming. All sample project files may be downloaded at a companion website, as well as bonus video tutorials.
