My teaching begins with fostering creative exploration-students are encouraged to think freely and push the boundaries of design from the start. We then dive into the essentials of concept development, where I guide them through brainstorming and sketching techniques to shape initial ideas.
Next, we progress to 3D modeling, where I introduce foundational tools and gradually build up to advanced techniques, showing how each feature can be used to enhance the realism and impact of their designs. Throughout, I incorporate hands-on projects that let students practice these skills in real-time.
In the visualization phase, we focus on lighting, texture, and rendering, helping students make their designs as lifelike as possible. I show them how to use visualization not just as a presentation tool but as a way to evolve their designs, giving them the ability to test and refine spaces in collaboration with clients.
By the end, students have a complete toolkit: they can move from concept to detailed 3D models and visualizations, ready to bring ideas to life with confidence and creativity.
