3ds Max & V-Ray for Beginners
Course Description
Learn 3ds Max and V-Ray by recreating Mies van der Rohe’s iconic Barcelona Pavilion from scratch. This course is perfect for aspiring 3D artists and architects who want to learn professional modeling, material creation, lighting, and rendering techniques in a practical, project-based format. Perfect for interior design, archviz, product rendering and more.
Expert Instructor: Learn directly from an Architect, 3ds Max artist & V-Ray mentor since 2007.
In Short, You Will Learn: Modeling, Lighting, Texturing & Rendering. — plus blueprint-based workflows, efficient scene structuring, and photorealistic post-production tools.
You’ll Start From the Very Basics — learning the interface, navigation, and essential tools — and gradually build up your skills by creating models from blueprints, reference images, or completely from the ground up. You’ll learn how to build clean, optimized geometry, create realistic V-Ray materials, use HDRI and V-Ray Sun for lighting, and produce high-quality renders using different rendering methods and post-processing tools inside the V-Ray Frame Buffer
Portfolio-Ready Project: The course is project-based, and the entire Barcelona Pavilion scene that you build and render during the course will become a part of your portfolio. You’ll also be able to set up even more camera angles and generate as many final renders as you like, showing your ability to build the model, apply materials, add lighting, and create professional-quality renders.
Alongside the theory, practical exercises begin right from the very beginning.
This course is designed to help you apply each concept immediately. Every topic is followed by a hands-on session that we’ll complete together, step by step.
Videos have clear, professional-quality sound in neutral English
The 6+ Hours of Video Lessons are professionally edited to deliver a continuous, distraction-free learning experience. There are no sudden jump cuts or time-wasting pauses — every minute is packed with valuable information, flowing smoothly from one step to the next, so your time is used as efficiently as possible
