maxwell interface introduction

 

 

This is a brief introduction to the layout of Maxwell Studio.  We will cover the layout of the application and cover the basics of the program and some concepts that are important to understand when to come to using Maxwell effectively.  In later tutorials we will actually cover the rendering process and the many programs that have plug-ins for Maxwell.

photoshop rendering post-processing introduction

 

 

This tutorial will introduce you to some common steps you can follow when finishing a rendering.  This process starts with exporting your rendered image and opening it in Photoshop for editing.  We will cover how to insert a sky in the background, manipulate the foreground and insert scale images. All of the above is accomplished through layer masking, selection tools, and downloaded brushes.

sketchup interface introduction

 

 

This video gives you an introduction into the layout and interface of SketchUp. We will show you how to navigate in 3D space and how you customize the layout. We will also cover the essential tools to know when working with SketchUp in an architectural capacity.

revit exporting for rendering

 

 

In this tutorial we will show you how to export your 3D geometry from Revit into 3DS Max.  This includes covering your files in both the .dwg and .fbx file formats.  We will also cover how to link your exported files into 3DS Max to cut down on the hassle of moving from one program to another.

 

This tutorial will also touch on the different results that are possible when moving from one file format (.dwg/.fbx) over another, in the form of the resulting renderings.

revit exporting elevations

 

 

In this tutorial we will cover how to take your modeled information from Revit and create 2D elevation drawings from it.  We will then tell you how to take that 2D information into other programs for editing.  The goal is to understand how to take information out of Revit for the creation of presentation drawings.

 

We will briefly show you how the exported elevation will come into Illustrator and how you can go about editing the exported vector information.

makerbot finished?!

 

 

We have finished building our little open source 3D printer!  However, the tinkering never stops!  We are currently fine tuning the design and expect to see images of our builds and the development of the bot as they are ready to post.

 

Right now we are working on building a heated build platform and are currently designing an enclosure so the model will retain it’s heat when building.  If you have any questions, or want us to try building one of your models, just send us a line and we will see what we can work out.

video schedule!

 

We finally have a schedule so you know when we are going to update things! Events, projects, and tirades will be posted as they arrive so there really is no schedule for them.

 

Maker Monday:

We will post a video that involves making "things" from the computer. i.e. laser cutter, CNC, 3D printing

 

2D Tuesday:

We will post a video that involves 2D software.

Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign.

 

Workless Wednesday:

We dont work, so leave us alone...

 

3D Thursday:

We will post a video that involves 3D software, like Max, Rhino, GC, CAD, SketchUp...

 

Free for all Friday:

We post what we want, so deal with it...

 

You don't work on the weekends so why should we?

donate!

 

 

We run on coffee. Donations buy us coffee which helps us stay awake and working on tutorials. No coffee, no tutorials.

 

beta search:

 

If you are looking for something specific in the site then try our search feature, but be warned it is in the beta stage. So, be prepared for some weird results. That is our official disclaimer, so you can't complain if it doesn't work the way you want it to.

suggestions?

 

Is there a specific program that you use as an architect that we dont have on this site? Is there a process that you know of that is superior to one we showed in one of our videos. If yes then drop us a line here at our suggestions page.
