Learners will be able to plan, model, detail, and render a complete 3D urban duplex floor plan using SketchUp and V-Ray. By the end of this course, learners will develop the skills to translate 2D architectural plans into accurate 3D structures, apply professional exterior detailing, and produce photorealistic visualizations suitable for real-world architectural presentation.
This hands-on case study guides learners through an end-to-end architectural workflow, starting with project understanding and 2D plan preparation, and progressing through structural modeling, elevation design, window placement, and exterior refinements. Unlike tool-based tutorials, this course emphasizes decision-making, accuracy, and architectural logic within a single cohesive duplex project. Learners gain practical experience working with real dimensions, functional layouts, and consistent façade design.
The course concludes with advanced material application and lighting using V-Ray, enabling learners to create high-quality exterior renders. Ideal for aspiring architects, interior designers, and SketchUp users, this course helps bridge the gap between basic modeling skills and professional architectural visualization through a realistic urban duplex case study.

Outstanding experience from start to finish! The 3D urban duplex design was modern, detailed, and exactly what I had envisioned. The SketchUp model was clean, realistic, and easy to review. The designer was responsive, professional, and open to feedback throughout the project. I'm very happy with the final result and would definitely work with them again.
