Overview

About This Course:

When I first made this course, it was to fill a void that I noticed in the arch viz industry. There are not a lot of tutorials out there that help you to learn arch viz from the beginning in a professional way, using the PRO software and a PRO workflow. So, I created this course, and I never could have imagined how popular it has become! It has also evolved a lot since that first time I published. Here are some key things to know:

ORIGINAL COURSE

• teaches 3ds Max and V-Ray from the very beginning

• follows a project from nothing, all the way to the end

• demonstrates the exact workflow that I use daily as a practicing professional (thus the PRO part)

• uses my UI setup, shortcuts, etc (all downloadable for your use)

• shows you everything you need to know to create a basic project

• uses 3ds Max 2011, so as long as you have any version after that, you should be able to follow (updates have been made where necessary to account for changes all the way up to most current versions)

• contains 6 HRS of video from start to finish

ADDITIONAL CONTENT

• brings you up to speed with the latest versions of the software and fills in the gaps where they exist

• more advanced techniques (i.e. HDRI lighting, etc)

• more advanced and complex projects 

• currently two additional projects to follow along with, including an advanced interior and exterior.

• much higher production quality than original videos

• awesome new content being added regularly to make you aware of new techniques, software updates, etc.

• new projects coming soon

About 3ds Max and V-Ray:

                    Knowing how to use these two programs together is a valuable skill. Seriously, I taught myself how to use these programs many years ago, and now I get paid quite well for my expertise.  3d is not just my hobby, it is also how I support my family.  You can learn, and start a career in 3d too.  Everything you need to get started is in this course.  I will take you through 3ds Max and V-Ray from the very beginning, and by the end you will be well on your way to creating your own images and filling up your portfolio with polished work.  Keep in mind, you do not typically need formal training to get a job in 3D.  What it takes is an awesome portfolio, so let's get started on yours.
