About This Class

Hi! Welcome to Interior Rendering in 3ds Max and V-Ray!

This class will guide you through the process of creating a room model in 3ds Max and rendering it in V-Ray.

Please check some of the main learning points below:

  • Starting in 3ds Max: Viewports, Grid, Snaps, Navigation Tools
  • Building a Core Model: Walls, Ceiling / Floor, Windows, Baseboard
  • Importing Furniture Items
  • Adding a V-Ray Camera
  • Using V-Ray Sky for the Environmental Light
  • V-Ray Plane and Sphere Lights 
  • Render Settings Setup, Producing a Test Rendering
  • V-Ray Materials with the Diffuse, Bump, Reflection and Self-Illumination Parameters
  • Multi/Sub-Object Material, Falloff Map, Color Correction Map
  • Material Override Rendering
  • Final Render Settings

I believe this class is good for All Levels.

If you already have some knowledge of 3ds Max and would like to focus on V-Ray only, you can download the intermediate work files from the Projects and Resources Tab. 

It's recommended that you have a computer with the following parameters as specified on the Autodesk website.

For V-Ray I'm using V-Ray Next. There is now an updated version, V-Ray 5 available for download. You might as well go with that one, since it should have some updated features, and a material library, which might save you some time with materials. The basics of materials are still applicable from this class. I believe it's important to master the basics even if you're working with the existing material presets, to be able to understand how to make adjustments. 

Once you have both programs installed, please proceed to the Projects and Resources tab for more information on the class project and work files. 

Thank you!
