VR for Designers - Nottingham Trent University
Description
Step into the cutting-edge world of Virtual Reality (VR) and bring your ideas to life exactly as you envision them, in 3D. This course is ideal for industry designers, educators, and anyone with an interest in exploring the potential of VR, offering valuable applications across a wide range of fields including architecture, interior design, product design, footwear and automotive design, fashion, and UX design. Explore the limitless possibilities of Gravity Sketch, the revolutionary VR-based 3D modelling software used by top brands like Ford, Adidas, and VW to push the boundaries of innovation, and gain the skills to create, visualise, and present your design concepts with clarity and impact. Imagine impressing clients and colleagues with immersive, detailed 3D models that bring your ideas to life like never before. You’ll be guided through a series of hands-on learning and expert instruction, starting with foundational VR setup and progressing to advanced Gravity Sketch tools. Along the way, you’ll develop your own personal project—taking it from an initial concept to a polished presentation, culminating in a mock concept review where your designs will shine. On this course you’ll learn how to leverage VR to create detailed, immersive 3D models with the Gravity Sketch software in preparation to implement it into your workflow. Over the two days you’ll be learning several new tools and to put this into practice, you gradually develop a personal project from initial ideation to finished concept which upon completion will be combined alongside the class to create a mock concept review. During this course, you will: • understand the use of VR in design • set up and navigate VR equipment with confidence • practice using the Gravity Sketch interface and core tools • get to grips with intuitive ideation techniques, surface modelling, and environment setup • learn how to integrate Gravity Sketch with CAD and other 3D design software for enhanced efficiency • use Gravity Sketch's presentation tools and enhance your visuals with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to deliver compelling client demonstrations. This course isn’t just about learning software; it’s about transforming the way you design. By the end, you’ll be equipped to use VR independently, enabling you to unlock bold new levels of creativity and collaboration in your projects. By the end of the course, you’ll have the skills to confidently use VR as a design tool and integrate VR into your existing workflow. You’ll be able to create 3D models that can enhance client presentations, offering a unique, immersive experience.
