Zero to Hero with 3ds Max + V-Ray : Master 3D Rendering

In the class, we will learn how to use 3ds Max and V-Ray. We will then use our new skills to complete the final project, which is to render a 3D product in a studio environment.

Ever wanted to create computer-generated images? Join Jake Denham (of Luxury Visuals Academy) as he shares a zero to hero process to create professional renders.

Starting out with no knowledge of 3ds Max and V-Ray? No problem. This class will introduce you to the basics of 3ds Max and then onto learning the key elements of 3D rendering with the V-Ray render engine.

It is perfect for beginners in 3d or if you want to pick up some tips for using 3ds Max and V-Ray.
