The course will be demonstrated within 3ds Max, and the textures will primarily be created using V-Ray materials. Other types of shaders will also be demonstrated, but the class generally teaches you principles that can be applied across several different platforms. You will learn settings, shader types, map creation, etc., all while seeing real time demonstrations of materials being created and rendered.

In short, take this course if you want to vastly improve your ability to create photoreal textures, and streamline your workflow.

  • You will learn the professional way to do things, making you fast and efficient
  • The quality of your materials will immediately begin to improve as you apply my professional tips and tricks
  • Your renderings will take on a much more photo-realistic look, as materials are one of the most important elements for realism
  • You gain a deep knowledge and familiarity with V-Ray (and equivalent render engines) and its settings.

And remember, I work hard to support all these students effectively by answering questions and helping them solve their problems. Here is a comment from a satisfied student:

"I must begin saying that over time Adam has gotten better at creating courses and explaining everything in a simplest manner possible.

1. Overall video and audio quality was great.

2. The amount of information was just enough and the quality of it all was amazing. I learned more than i expected to.

Bought it almost as soon as i could knowing that it will for sure be worth it. I'm already planning on recommending it to some people that would love this course and i already can't wait for a course on lighting.

Great job on the course!"

SEE YOU IN CLASS

-Adam Z

Who this course is for:

  • You should take this course if you want to make better materials, regardless of the program you use
  • Do not take this course if you are completely new to 3d, I have another course for that
  • Take this course if you want to gain a more intimate knowledge of V-Ray shaders and their settings
  • This class is great if you know the basics of 3d, but you are looking to take your images to the next level with advanced textures
