3d Rendering: Exterior Daylight and Night Renders using 3ds Max and V-Ray

With the advancement of powerful rendering tools, visualizations are becoming increasingly realistic, to the point where it is sometimes difficult to tell the difference between a photorealistic render and a real photograph. This 3ds Max course illustrates the process of rendering exterior daylight and night scenes using V-Ray and 3ds Max. Did you know that V-Ray is one of the best renderers for creating stunning photorealistic 3D images? It allows you to control the image quality with only a few settings making it ideal for transitioning from a quick preview render to a high-quality final image. After completing this course, you will have a better understanding of the impact and relevance of each set, so you will know what to expect when adjusting a parameter. At the outset, you will discover that in any daylight render, the sun and its surroundings should always be brighter than an interior or shadowed object. 

Next, you will learn how to set up a VRayCamera, adjust the render output size and V-Ray render parameters, and create and configure the V-RaySun and Sky objects. This includes the process of creating curb objects and materials such as glass, metal, and wood. Following this, the methods of designing grass, a tree, and a wide range of environmental assets with the forest pack are explained. In addition, you will study how to apply glossiness reflections in your shaders to improve realism, as well as how to change materials by adjusting specific parameters in the material editor. The importance of multi-matte rendering and V-Ray elements, as well as final editing and optimum post-production processes, is also covered. Using tools like highlight, black, contrast, clarity, and sharpen, you will learn how to integrate all of the pre-rendered parts into Photoshop to improve the final image.

Finally, you will explore various cutting-edge techniques for transforming an exterior daylight scene into a photorealistic nighttime shot using which includes the process of modifying the render parameters to sketch with the V-Ray render setup. The next bit of this 3D modelling tutorial teaches you how to configure the V-Ray dome light to simulate diffuse shadows, as well as how to add blue tones to match the scene dome light color with the photo reference. The process of creating artificial light in the scene, including adding lights inside houses and along streets, as well as cloning the lights, is discussed. Lastly, you will discover how to use advanced post-production techniques to transform an entire render into a stunning final image. ‘3D Rendering: Learn Exterior Daylight and Night Renders using 3Ds Max, V-Ray and Photoshop’ is an in-depth course that provides you with a deep understanding of rendering parameters and the process of rendering in a photorealistic manner and you should enrol if you are interested in 3D modelling, graphic design or animation as part of your everyday work or hobby.
