Introduction to Automotive Design Visualization Training
Design and stage vehicle models with Unity.
In this workshop, automotive artists and designers will get a focused introduction to the Unity Editor and the PiXYZ workflow. They will learn the basics of Unity to import CAD Models with PiXYZ and create beautiful 3D models and renderings for automotive industry specific content.
Participants will construct an interactive scene featuring a concept car in a garage, then create a user interface to allow user modification and interaction within the scene.
In building the project participants will learn key elements of working with the Unity editor from general usability and visual development with tools such as the PiXYZ Plugin, to working with the High Definition Render Pipeline, Lighting, and Materials.
