The Lumion Course by Marsam El Marsam, led by Rand Atallah, is a practical training program designed to help architecture and interior design students transform 3D models into realistic, high-quality architectural visualizations.

The course covers the essential techniques of architectural rendering, focusing on materials, lighting, landscaping, environmental context, and atmosphere to create compelling visual experiences that communicate design intent effectively.

Through a hands-on workflow, participants will learn how to prepare and import 3D models, develop realistic scenes, control lighting and camera settings, and produce professional-quality renders suitable for portfolios, presentation boards, academic projects, and professional practice.
