Did you know that a virtual product image can convey a wealth of visual information? As a result, 3D rendering became popular in television production, cinema, video game creation, and other forms of entertainment. If you would like to create extremely photorealistic 3D images like a professional, then you have come to the right place. Explore the lighting and rendering features of V-Ray for 3ds Max, and the process of generating high-quality renderings of interior scenes and environments with this detailed 3D modelling course. At the start of the course, you will learn about the process of lighting and rendering an interior daylight scene. This includes the methods of creating and fine-tuning procedural materials, as well as a variety of advanced post-production techniques. The procedure for configuring the Max and V-Ray 3ds scenes are explained and you will explore the setup of the VRayCamera and the rendering of the output size.

The following section explains the process of designing the wooden floor using the floor generator. You will learn the process of creating realistic floorboard material and windows and the methods for tweaking the window and sofa materials, as well as the process of creating a VRaySun object and a VRayPlane light to mimic ambient lighting. The next piece of content teaches you how to create the recess light material and VRayproxies, as well as how to add multimatte render elements and configure the final render parameters. Once this is done, the course covers advanced post-production techniques including how to use Photoshop techniques to create stunning renders. This will include the process of adding shadows and reflections, adjusting metal and wood materials, balancing the brightness of the scene, and other final touches as well as creating a realistic image using essential layers and Photoshop filters. The final section of the course illustrates the methods of transforming an interior daylight setting into a night scene. You will learn about realistic processing and setting the best post-production rendering parameters using groundbreaking post-production techniques for the final product. The key to obtaining a realistic architectural rendering of an interior at night is the colour variation in the light. You will be taught about the process of creating new lights that aids in capturing a typical interior scene at night, altering procedural materials using various tools to adjust the texture in the viewport and lastly, how to use the rotate tool and alter materials and the environment in order to create a realistic architectural representation of an interior at night.

Whether you are interested in 3D photorealism or want to add another dimension to your graphic design skills, this 3D modelling tutorial will give you great theory and practical knowledge to take your 3D design skills to the next level.
