● D5 Render Pro temporary licenses to be provided during the workshop.
● A 3D model will be provided during the workshop and we will collaborate in Miro.
● Registration is required, please have your member number ready at registration.
No previous experience needed.

essential for navigating 3D space. - Software: Install D5 Render before the workshop (temporary licenses provided)
