FlytE · October 23rd, 2006

Just off the top of my head to get the ball rolling:

Photoshop techniques: adding bitmaps of people cars and trees
Camera techniques: real world photography simulation
Elevational and Sectional rendering: presentation techniques

Koper · October 23rd, 2006

Lofting - every aspect of how to where and when. and I know Brian love lofting

Resource managing - Such as file linkage

I'll think of more

Marty · October 23rd, 2006

I always like to see stuff on exterior lighting.

Koper · October 27th, 2006

some people might not know how to handle a camera properly in an animation so it might be a good topic to put in.
- Animation, from camera control to production.

Then some techniques for post production using either premier or combustion. Also some guidelines for improving the animation footage, for example:
-- putting black strips on the top and bottom to give it film quality feel. But to do this one needs to render with a wider aspect ratio to give space and not cut off footage in post production.

Id like to see some talk about camera angles, composition, framing, post editting etc....especially for animations. The guys at Uniform in Liverpool have a fantastic presentation technique...cut above the usual 360 camera sweep stuff

kippu · October 27th, 2006

post production , exteriors , animation techniques

This is of course a personal request...

Can, and how could real-time play a more significant role in architectural
visualization?
What would need to change?,
What would artists need? etc..
Can real-time visualization work at all in this domain?
Is the push to integrate real-time into architectural presentation futile?

These are just a few ideas I think could be explored.

How about a lesson in cleaning and optimizing files in AutoCad for import into 3d Studio? For all of us without architecture backgrounds....

I vote for andy pennington's Photoshop techniques: adding bitmaps of people cars and trees

AdriaaN van Jaarsveld's - Animation, from camera control to production.

and please please please, correct usage of compression codecs for not having jumpy horrible looking animations
