Digital Tutors - Creating High Resolution Studio Renders in 3ds Max and V-ray

Duration 2h 18m Project Files Included MP4

Throughout these lessons we'll dive into learning the essential techniques for producing high resolution virtual photos of products.

We'll learn how to approach studio lighting using the real time tools in 3ds Max, V-Ray and HDR Light Studio to quickly set up effective and realistic lighting. We'll focus on how to create realistic shaders and then how to set up V-Ray to get the best results in our final render.

By the end of the training you will see how to take a model and turn it into a professional high resolution virtual photograph.
