© 2012 Autodesk Class Summary Following up from last year’s Life after Autodesk ® Revit ® lecture, this session focuses on maximizing your use of the Building Design Suite for the production of architectural visualization. This class will demonstrate a variety of workflows for producing presentation images from a Revit model starting point. Ranging from sketches through to real-time presentations and photorealistic material, including tips and tricks to ensure that your Revit model is set up correctly to minimize work in the subsequent applications. Learn how to make the most of the new suite workflows, moving from Revit to SketchBook Designer, Showcase, 3ds Max Design, and Composite.

© 2012 Autodesk Class Objectives At the end of this class, you will be able to:  Use your existing Revit models in different applications to deliver more professional results  Identify the key applications required to improve the range and quality of your deliverables  Develop a workflow strategy for your business that utilizes multiple applications  Determine which applications deliver the result you require

© 2012 Autodesk The purpose of this class is to demonstrate how to produce quick architectural visuals using applications in the Autodesk ® Building Design Suite, starting from a Revit ® model. The intention is to ensure that you get more from your suite without requiring an in-depth knowledge of each application. Several quick and easy techniques will demonstrate the various styles that can be produced to differentiate your deliverables from standard Revit material. Introduction
