The American University in Dubai is the first and only university in the GCC to have become an Unreal Academic Partner through the usage of Twinmotion in courses such as DDFT 473 – Virtual Environments for the program of Architecture. Unreal is the world’s most open and advanced real-time 3D creation tool and this comes as a strategic move in 2022 to reinforce the learning journey of AUD students at the School of Architecture, Art, and Design. This partnership will provide many opportunities to all students, such as, but not limited to, UNREAL ENGINE MARKETPLACE, 3D Digital Assets Management from Sketchpad, Upgrades to ArtStation Pro, and be part of the Unreal Student Showcase, Unreal Educators Community, and many more.

Dr. Georges Kachaamy who is the Director of the Center for Research, Innovation, and Design (CRID) said: “This is a tremendous opportunity for our students who have been using Epic Games powerful applications such as Twinmotion which is considered to be one of the most powerful real-time visualisation tools that creates high-quality visualization for architecture, interior design, product design, and technically all types of designs.”
