Introduction

Autodesk® Architectural Desktop 2004 features dramatically enhanced tools for rendering images of your designs. When you combine those tools with those in the new Autodesk® VIZ Render application that ships with Architectural Desktop you can create the kind of images and animations you could previously create only with Autodesk® VIZ. In this tutorial you master the skills required to start rendering interiors using Autodesk Architectural Desktop and VIZ Render. You learn how to take models from one environment into another, create cameras, place lights, calculate radiosity, and assign materials. By the time you complete this tutorial you should feel comfortable rendering many of your own environments.

Before you begin this tutorial, you must save the adt-first.dwg file to a folder on your local hard drive. Just right-click the link, choose Save Target or Save Target As, browse to the folder where you want to save the file, and click Save. This drawing contains a hallway you will apply materials to, place lights in, and render.
