Am curious I know when browsing through youtube.com & vimeo.com for free videos online we barely see tips shared by Nigerians. I only know about 3studio channels in Nigeria that do such professionally. Namely the following: (1) Chronos Studeos (2) Ways Studios (3) Edu Shola. They share a mix of architecture,video editing effects & 3d graphics more for intermediate or advanced users. Presently there is none dedicated to teaching basic stuff in AutoCAD,Revit,3dsmax,Photoshop,SketchUp Pro,ArchiCAD & 2d/3d general skills from the scratch. Now to you all on this thread my questions are below: a) Would having a youtube/vimeo channel showing basic tips by more Nigerians instead of a white guy/girl boost confidence amongst our budding creatives here?!! b) Are majority of Nigerian artists intimidated by their accents that's why they barely watch such videos to boost their skills or can't hear them at all?!! Let's discuss & lemme hear your views ASAP...am waiting... |

DerrickM:about your first question; it will be a welcomed development if there is a channel for basic CAD tutoring as a Nigerian as it helps boost confidence among the new intakes in the field of CAD knowing fully that it's from a Nigerian 1 Like |

Hi Guys! |

a) Would having a youtube/vimeo channel showing basic tips by more Nigerians instead of a white guy/girl boost confidence amongst our budding creatives here?!! I don’t see having a channel showing illustrations by a Nigerian a way of boasting confidence among budding creatives. We generally operate in ways that it wouldn’t come to mind that I or you need to create an illustrative online tutorial because: We feel we haven’t known the software enough. Whereas we can pick a portion of we are so familiar with and make them into uploadable illustrative online videos and on …. But someone else have treated these cases so there’s no need doing them over again else, people will think am just another attention seeker. We think it is easier to make online tutorials for a software that is indigenously made. Example is a software made by and in Nigeria might have a lot of online tutorials from Nigerians. But we believe these softwares are made in the west so people from there have more know-how at their fingertips, “that’s why the internet is flooded by tutorials made by them. We are not catching up with the west at all because softwares made reach this part of the world after say “version X” has been used and dumped. A new version emerges and they release version X for free download and that is what we are able to afford. We prefer to make tangible money (those people making those online video tutorials make money oo). We prefer to advertise, fix a fee, gather people and teach them. That’s what we are good at. b) Are majority of Nigerian artists intimidated by their accents that's why they barely watch such videos to boost their skills or can't hear them at all?!! I don’t think it has anything to do with the accent. Some tutorials are volume-less. Psychologically, the learner’s focus is on what he is able to comprehend and practicalize at the end of the tutorials he/she is watching. |

Pritzker Architecture Prize The Pritzker Architecture Prize is awarded annually "to honor a living architect or architects whose built work demonstrates a combination of those qualities of talent, vision and commitment, which has produced consistent and significant contributions to humanity and the built environment through the art of architecture." Founded in 1979 by Jay A. Pritzker and his wife Cindy, the award is funded by the Pritzker family and sponsored by the Hyatt Foundation and is considered to be one of the world's premier architecture prizes; it is often referred to as the Nobel Prize of architecture. The most recent winner, in 2015, is the German architect Frei Otto. The prize is said to be awarded "irrespective of nationality, race, creed, or ideology." The recipients receive US$100,000, a citation certificate, and since 1987, a bronze medallion. The designs on the medal are inspired by the work of architect Louis Sullivan , while the Latin inspired inscription on the reverse of the medallion—firmitas, utilitas, venustas (English: firmness, commodity and delight)—is from Ancient Roman architect Vitruvius. Before 1987, a limited edition Henry Moore sculpture accompanied the monetary prize. if you find this piece interesting, cont'd here. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pritzker_Architecture_Prize

@VICTORTRY: From my little experience,I've come to realise the easiest ways to learn anything quickly & memorise is when done in front of you via one-on-one tutorials or online depending on the available options. #Question(1) You felt there's no need for such videos from your response. It's very reason why the western world doesn't believe we use apps like AutoCAD & etc because they believe in seeing how the steps were done before the final work that's posted even computers. It's called proof of concept. If not for the handful of Nigerian artists like those ones I mentioned earlier on Youtube who shared tips,advice & video tutorials with me in person I wouldn't know what I know. You never know the people such videos give confidence to pick an interest in architecture to study it or creative disciplines related you might share. Contrary to what you think brands like Autodesk,Adobe & Microsoft's global mission was to reach most countries if not all so Africa wasn't excluded. It's a tradition to always update the versions of any software package every week,month or year so it's for us to either step up our pc configs or keep to the present versions without complaining(no be by force). We don't have the culture of buying apps wanting everything free*smh*rotflr*hehehe*Osho Free Masters na our name for Naija abeg... Contrary to what you stated the video tutorials made for most software or web applications created in Nigeria are solely for their clients who paid for them & not the general public. Now about training one-on-one isn't a bad idea but I've come to realise most training centres except a few don't go in-depth but only after the money. So for me we aren't really good at that because most of their fees aren't so affordable except you do it as a student or corper if there's such a concession of grace. With the internet you've a wider reach to an audience to learn as one progresses from a rookie to expert & with Google as an online resource nothing to fear per se. #Question(2) Accents play a big part in what we learn & listen to. If you can't connect then the information isn't useful to you. I've a lot of respect for the #Indians because they used IT & creative knowledge to improve their country's wealth & relevance globally. We similar to them but barely share what we know over here. The 2nd #industrial revolution is via the internet,social media,digital marketing,blogging & e-commerce. The choice is left to us to plugin & play our parts respectively... victorytry: 1 Like |

obynocute:Victorytry, I understand that you make use of complex profile or something. oby, the easiest way is, if you're using an ArchiCAD version from 14 above. click on window, open the window settings and select empty opening(chose the first curved arc), in the dialog box there is a pull down menu with the first option "general settings". Click on the pull down menu, scroll to the last option with an arch image (can't remember the name now), select it. Make use of the masonry stacco, on the other side change the 250 to 150 (6' height of the masonry curve), and the zero to 50 (projection of the masonry curve). click OK and there you go... |

DerrickM:Derrick, most Nigerians wouldn't want you to know what they know and even the ones who hold seminars and tutorials do not teach all they know, thereby hiding one or two vital infos to still be above you. For the accent, I don't think it stops anyone from sharing a tutorial so far you can speak an understandable English with good points to go home with. |

@CASTOVILLA: Bro,your point about not sharing is on point & hiding tips but most don't even share anything online. Let's see this from a humanitarian point of view,some don't have money to go to any proper schools to learn but can for free via the internet . Thereby increasing the human capital of the creative industry in Nigeria. It's well with us all as long as keep improving we'll get there... CASTOSVILLA: |

CASTOSVILLA:thank you @CASTOSVILLA i pointed out some things i will like you to improve on, in the next model u will be posting. these models are consumed by your client who may be lay-men, someone with knowledge in architecture or even architects. self assessment will help you better (look at what is wrong and fix it before it is spotted and assumed you are an amateur). else #thumbs up

victorytry:My brother I saw all of it prior before rendering it  . Am new to interior decorations and rendering (esp. Artlantis). This is my second interior rendering with the software (please don't ask me about the first ). 1. I had a hard time turning that TV image to the upright direction but i failed at every attempt. I gave up on it after hours of trying. Dude the thing started getting anoying and boring. 2. That light wasn't even lit on Artlantis but the icon on the 2d shows that there's light on it. I had to twick it with neon shader to show at least an atom of light. imagine a whole chandelier at the middle of my lounge is not ON? dude, I had to make it ON by force no dulling. 3. That air conditioner? no just go there o to even place it like that na by HIS grace .4. Victorytry, if you call me an amateur on interior rendering, it's an understatement. I be real amateur, but am getting better. I'll post a better one later. victorytry, I don't know how to brighten up my interiors like it was in the day time. Mine is alway dark whenever I export it to Artlantis and without the lights, I wonder the type of darkness I'll be rendering. 1 Like |
