What you'll learn

In this LightWave 3D tutorial, we'll be creating an architectural visualization scene of a beach club wedding reception hall. We'll start with blueprints and use the LWCad suite of plugins to create the walls, windows, doors, roofing, shingles, and more precisely in our building. Then we'll move onto creating the surrounding landscape, including trees and other foliage made with the DP Verdure set of plugins. By the end of this LightWave 3D training, you'll have learned techniques for creating your own arch viz projects.
