3ds max and Vray basics for interior designers

  Hi, my name is Aurelian and I work now as an interior designer for more than 10 years, but I've also worked in parallel as a teacher of 3ds max and interior design and I created this course for interior designers and 3ds max and Vray users that start from absolute beginner level in order to share, using my experience, how to approach learning of 3ds max in the fastest way possible, after I've refined these topics in time when I used to teach live and at the same time I had to deliver in the fastest way possible the info to students.

       This course is made for absolute beginners and it explains how to begin to work in 3ds max, the basic principles of the program 3ds max and Vray are presented in a very easy to understand image based way, using a professional working method, tested on over 2000 students for more than 7 years, that is based on using hotkeys (that will increase your speed), so that you can work in a professional manner from the start.

   The method used in this course is based on learning the program and tools in a manner that is usually used to prepare persons to begin to activate in interior design process.

   In this first part of the course we will model in the end 10 exact 3d models from scratch, that will increase in difficulty, using just internet images as visual reference, in order to implement into practice the learned knowledge. After modeling we will learn the basics of lighting and rendering and we will learn how to render or visualise our objects and create 3d realistic images.

   The objects presented in this course belong to basic level. In the next parts of our course the difficulty will increase, as we will proceed and learn more advanced instruments.

   This method of teaching was created after my 7 years of live teaching 3ds max and vray, developed and perfected throught time practice.   

   In this part we will have also interior design psychology lessons in order to form an interior designer thinking and approach, understand the goals and the requirements that a designer needs to show in order to start to work with real projects.

  If you ever thought about becoming an interior designer, than in order to proceed you will have to learn at least 3 things that lead to a designer profession:

- principles how to obtain an interesting design using artistic laws and approach

- a method to draw and show your ideas and in this course we will be using 3ds max as it is one of the top instruments used to visualize 3d spaces and objects

- knowledge how to manage a project from the start to the end and how to interact with clients,  as they are the ones that form the preferences and you as a designer must gather all their ideas into one concept that will lead to a final result based on artistic principles
