Apply 3D digital visualisation techniques to represent interior designs


Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to select and apply digital rendering techniques to three dimensional (3D) computer aided design (CAD) models and create realistic visualisations of interior design projects for the purpose of design development and presentation.

This unit applies to interior designers.

No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
