See how we bridge the gap between technical lines and photorealistic art. These previews show the exact workflows I teach, from 2D drafting in AutoCAD to rendering lifelike scenes in Lumion.

A quick screen recording announcing a new batch for AutoCAD. You can see the process of creating a 2D technical drawing from scratch, which is the first step for many design and engineering students.

This is a time-lapse of me creating a 3D model of a camera in AutoCAD. It shows how the software can be used not just for 2D plans but also for creating detailed isometric and 3D objects.

A screen recording demonstrating how to create a staircase in Autodesk Revit. Revit is a powerful BIM software, and I teach practical skills like this to get you started with industry-standard tools.

A direct comparison showing a staircase designed in Revit versus the same staircase rendered in Lumion. This highlights how different software tools are used for different purposes: Revit for technical modeling and Lumion for realistic visualization.

Another Revit vs. Lumion comparison, this time for a creative 'Tube Staircase' concept. This shows how you can take a complex model from a BIM program and enhance it with advanced lighting and effects.

This video shows the wireframe and different stylistic views of a unique A-frame house model created in SketchUp. My courses cover how to use these different view styles to better understand and present your 3D models.

A dining room scene rendered in Lumion with a grid overlay. This 'orthographic view' effect is one of the many rendering styles you can learn, useful for technical presentations.

The same dining room scene, but this time using Lumion's 'sketch' effect. This is a great tool for creating conceptual, hand-drawn style images for the early stages of a design project.

Here is the dining room scene again, this time as a 'clay render' or white model. This technique is used to study form, light, and shadow without the distraction of colors and materials.

About A Look Inside the Software

It is not just about learning where the buttons are. In my sessions, we focus on the workflow—taking a basic 2D floor plan from AutoCAD, building the structure in Revit, and bringing it to life with Lumion. I teach you the process so you do not just memorize commands, but actually understand how to solve design problems.

I am Akshay Arun. I run AA Designs and hold workshops to help students master design software. My goal is simple: I want you to feel confident in the tools you use, whether you are drafting a plan or rendering a final walkthrough.

This is a snapshot from one of my masterclasses on interior contracts at the International Design Academy. My goal is to create an interactive classroom setting where we can break down complex topics and you can get direct answers to your questions.7
I was delighted to be featured in Livpro Magazine, where I shared my entrepreneurial journey and my core design philosophy. This feature discusses the real challenges and rewards of building a design studio from the ground up.
A closer look at students during a workshop focused on mastering interior contracts. I believe in hands-on learning, where you are actively engaged in drafting, analyzing, and understanding the critical details that protect you as a designer.

A 3D floor plan is an essential tool for understanding the layout and flow of a space. This render shows the proposed layout for a 3BHK luxury flat, complete with furniture placement, giving a clear and intuitive overview of the entire home.
This is an alternative 3D floor plan for a different 3BHK unit within the same project. It demonstrates our ability to create varied and optimized layouts to suit different needs and preferences, all visualized in an easy-to-understand format.
We also create detailed 3D floor plans for smaller units, like this 2BHK luxury flat. This visualization helps clients understand exactly how their furniture will fit and how they can best utilize the space available.

Every project begins with a detailed plan. Here is the 3D design for a wooden bench, complete with precise measurements, which serves as the blueprint for the entire build.6
The design is then broken down into individual components. This image shows all the precisely cut pieces for the bench, including the legs, stretchers, and notched seat slats, ready for assembly.
Here, the complex cross-lap joints for the bench legs are cut and ready. This type of joinery requires careful measurement and precise cutting to ensure a strong and stable base.
The assembly process begins. The slatted top of the bench is being glued and clamped, using spacers to ensure uniform gaps between each piece of wood.
