Revit Detailing / Wall & Ceiling Panels

[Anonymous]

I am a beginner at Revit and I feel like I am falling behind the other students trying to grasp Revit. A lot of my classmates present realistic renderings with great looking wall panels and ceiling panels. Is that just in the materials for the wall and ceiling by creating a material from a photo? Or does it look better to add them manually? If so where to find that?

Also if anyone has any suggestion on furniture besides herman miller/steelcase?

I am wanting to add interesting features my to commercial office, like meeting pods, hammocks, cut outs in the wall of interesting work area/seating but am completely lost at where to find anything or how to create that.

Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!

My suggestion would be to just use the families and materials that come stock with Revit until you learn the basics. Rendering is not a "basic".  I'd put it on the back-burner.  Maybe tackle it next year.

I am in a class that requires realistic renderings for presentations due at end of 11 weeks so I can't put in on the back burner. He's super strict on what renderings look like, if they don't look detailed I will definitely fail the class.
