The purpose of the course is to give Artists full control of the Postproduction phase, focusing on the most used tools and techniques. Join us and be ready to go from the raw render to the best final image possible.
It doesn’t matter if you’re looking for photorealism or for the ‘wow’ effect. You’ll learn different workflows and than you’ll choose the one that best fit you.
With the help of Photoshop and ArionFX, you’ll be able to work in the 32-bit format to achieve better results with your photorealistic render. You’ll learn how to develop your own style with an in-deep study of exposure and color control.
Learn how to use all new features of the latest version of Photoshop CC to create better images and get quicker results. 3D layers, simmetry and new AI tools to automatically cut-out people from your photos.
The classic 16-bit Postproduction is something that needs a proper pipeline of work to run smoothly and to let you change the ouput depending on your client request.
This lesson will focus on improving a very simple render using render passes, photos from the internet and from our asset library.
Photobashing is the process of sticking together photos coming from different sources in order to create something completely new. Learn how to create new scenarios and backgrounds for your next render!
Learn the fundamentals of digital painting and an easy workflow to get instant results even if you’ve never painted in your life. The exercises will also help you to better understand shapes and values!
Think about Mattepainting as a mix of Photobashing and Digital Painting. Learn how to start from simple thumbnails and quick sketches to end up with complex and dramatic environments.
Bring your creativity and we’ll help you to express your ideas, no matter how crazy they are.
The course is splitted in two parts: Theory and Practice.
You’ll learn postproduction and painting techniques with lots of clear and useful examples and then you’ll try yourself with the supervision of SOA teachers.

We spent a week in San Dona di Piave, and I have no words to express how good those days were. The guys from SOA really know the software and how to master them. The enviroment there is something special too. Go and expect to see great artists, great teachers, great professionals and really funny people. Attending the Archviz Post Production Course changed my way of working and also my images. I definitely recommend SOA Academy to everyone and I’ll be back there soon for sure!
Here are some questions related to our courses and facilities that SoA Academy students frequently ask. If you
can’t find an answer to your doubts, send us an email and we’ll give you a reply soon. There are no silly
questions but only clever answers.
Novice courses are for artists who are moving the first steps in the Architectural Visualisation field and need the basic knowledge to start from scratch. If you want to start learning without losing further time, these are the courses for you.
The Advanced Courses are for artists who have some kind of experience in the 3D world and they want to improve their productivity and skills on specific areas. If you want to reach the top in a short time, these are the courses for you.
The workshop are advanced courses meant for artists who have experience and want to prove themselves through a set of practical exercises. Space to practice with the advise of the teachers.
Masterclasses are the most complete courses at Academy and are meant for artists who want to learn an efficient workflow to create images and architectural videos. From 10 to 100 in few weeks.
The choice of the course depends on you, your skills, your interest and the time you have at your disposal. For example, if you don’t have much time and want to develop specific topics, look at our Advanced courses (the ArchViz is the best if you want to improve lighting and rendering, the Post-production is the best choice if you want to work with photoshop). Anyway, we remind you that the Masterclass is the most complete course we offer because it covers important topics in the Architectural Visualization.
Go to the “calendar” page in our website, click on the course you want to apply and fill the form. As soon as we receive your request, we’ll send you an email with the instructions for the payment and the contract to complete your registration. Once you’ve made the payment, send us a receipt of the bank transfer and the contract signed. This is the only way to book a seat.
The Masterclasses last some weeks (2 or 4) from Monday to Friday with the following timetable: from 9 am to 1 pm / from 2 pm to 6 pm.
The Advance courses last 5 days from Monday to Friday with the following timetable: from 9 am to 1 pm / from 2 pm to 6 pm.
Yes, we do have a waiting list for each course. If you want to be added in a waiting list, send us an email. Attention: the name listing doesn’t grant a seat in the course.
All courses take place in our Academy in Via Monte Popera 4/6 in San Donà di Piave (a city close to Venice – Italy).
No, we don’t.
No, we don’t. The Academy team likes being in contact with the students to instantly solve any kind of problem that might arise. We also think that a face-to-face course is the best way to establish a good relationship with the guys who, in the end, become part of the Academy family. This is the reason why, we don’t have any online courses.
Classes are from Monday to Friday, from 9 am to 1pm and from 2 pm to 6 pm.
Some courses are in English and some in Italian. Next to each course listed in the “calendar” webpage, you’ll find the abbreviations ITA or ENG to specify the language used in that course.
The English level used doesn’t require a deep knowledge of the language. The software interfaces are in English and the terms are strictly related to the Architectural Visualization field. Although the teachers are Italian, you don’t need to know Italian to attend a course (unless it is an Italian one).
No, we don’t. Anyway, we are often asked by Italian and worldwide Companies for talented Artists to insert in their Studios. We always pass these offers on to our (ex) students and if they’re interested, they can contact the Studios directly.
Yes, it can. If we don’t reach the minimum number of registrations necessary to make the course start (4/5 people), the course might be cancelled. The people who have already registered will be contacted and they will be able to choose among other options.
Please, look at the “course” page in our website to get the costs (link alla pagina corsi). VAT is not included in the prices listed (+ 22%).
No, you’ll have the time during the classes to exercise, so you won’t have any homework after the classes or in the weekends.
Academy will provide all the materials necessary to attend the courses: notepad, pencil, pen, workstation with the relevant softwares, graphic tablet, keyboard and mouse. We suggest you to take a hard disk with you to save the files you’ve been working on in the course.
No, you don’t. During the course, you’ll use our workstations. Anyway, if you want to exercise in the night hours after class, take it with you!
