## Overview

This course introduces the real-time rendering workflow between Autodesk Revit and Epic Games’ Twinmotion, with a focus on creating photorealistic interior renderings. You’ll learn how to link Revit models to Twinmotion, apply materials and lighting, and populate scenes with furniture to turn technical models into high-quality visualizations. By the end of the course, you’ll have a fully rendered interior scene that’s ready to present or include in your portfolio.

Rather than focusing only on tools, the course emphasizes how design choices affect the final image. You’ll learn to navigate Twinmotion efficiently, keep Revit models synchronized, and make intentional decisions around materials, furniture, and lighting that add realism and depth. Interior lighting techniques are a key focus, helping you create immersive, well-balanced scenes that communicate design intent clearly and professionally.
