This course is detailed. Starting from the fundamentals, we guide you through each essential step to create a unique diagram. With 5 different diagram types covered, you'll gain the confidence to apply these techniques to your own projects.
Creating detailed diagrams requires multiple steps, and it might appear challenging at first. But don't worry, we've got you covered! Our approach breaks down the process into manageable steps. This means that's quite easy to make adjustments or updates.
Here are the programs that need to be installed on your PC and the knowledge required to make the most out of this course.
No prior knowledge of Adobe Illustrator is needed! We'll cover the basics and help you understand how this program works.
Familiarity with Adobe Photoshop at a basic to intermediate level is recommended.
Basic understanding of architectural graphical terms is beneficial.
You'll need a software for working with 3D models (Recommended: Sketchup).
A rendering engine is required for your 3D software (Recommended: Vray for Sketchup).
Make sure you have Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop installed on your computer. We recommend using the updated CC version, but any CC version or CS6 will work fine.

Not a problem. The majority of the course's content can be completed with versions from the last 5 years or so. If you have an older version, you may need to make slight adaptations, but it is not a limiting factor in the learning experience.
I understand that there are numerous online courses available, some even emphasizing extensive hours of content they offer. However, I value your time and have taken a different approach.
So, by "premium course," I mean step-by-step lessons with a focused and concise delivery, prioritizing what truly matters to you so you don't invest more time than needed in learning a new skill.
Instead of creating the course in a "freestyle" manner, I meticulously scripted and fine-tuned every lesson, ensuring that only the most relevant information is included. This approach allows me to deliver a concise course that avoids redundancy and unnecessary information. Additionally, I have invested extra effort into editing to enhance the visual appeal and facilitate the learning process.
Once you enroll in the course, there is a specific lesson in the curriculum with all the information on how to redeem your code. In short, the code will be sent to the email you used to purchase the course D5 Render: Visualizing Architecture.
You’ll need a good enough graphics card to run D5 Render, basic knowledge of 3D modeling and Photoshop, and a 3D software of your choice. For more details, check out our free lesson on course requirements.
Yes, you'll receive direct support from the instructor throughout the course. You can ask questions and get feedback through the comment section of each lesson.
You will have lifetime access to the course, including future updates, so you can learn at your own pace and revisit the content anytime.
Yes, we offer special discounts for both students and regions with lower purchasing power. Students can email hello@learnupstairs.com or DM us on Instagram at @learnupstairs with proof of enrollment in an architecture school to receive a discount. We also provide optimized pricing for certain regions through special coupon codes based on Purchasing Power Parity.
Monthly payment options will be available after the early access period ends. Stay tuned for updates.
For D5 Render, it's important to use the latest version. Whenever you launch the program and a new update is available, you'll be prompted to update the software. So don't worry about that.
