OUR COMPANY DOES NOT HAVE TO TO LEARN THE SOFTWARE THROUGHT THE MANUAL SO IT WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED IF THERE IS ANYBODY OR KNOWS OF ANYBODY???

STRAT Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 i seriously doubt it. i seriously doubt it anyway, but in South Wales? i've just spent time learning vrayforc4d, only took me 2 or 3 days to get to grips with the basics (without the manual). it's not hard. i'm sure you could do that. save your firm a potential little fortune. it's only a render engine (no need to use CAPS btw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagor Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 i think most of 3d artists learn they tools by themselves and manual. its normaly practice. i dont know any good school of 3d vis. only practice and hardworking can help you.

Spooner04 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 The dvd's from the gnomon workshop are pretty good. They are written for vray in 3ds max, but I'm sure that the concepts carry through to vray for sketchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will1113 Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 ah thank you all for your replies!!! i have got to grips with it now and understand all the basics, but as for the rest of my collegues they dont have the time to teach thier selves the software!!! we are based in abergavenny in south wales, but our head office is in London, so it wouldnt be a problem travelling!! Even if there was a 3D artist who uses vray, could give everybody a basic trainin session to get the rest up to speed!! paid by my company!! If not my company will purchase a vrayforc4d or gnomon workshop and try to adapt the prinicples to Sketchup!! While i am in the middle of this post!! I would also like to teach myself 3DS max - to use for architectural vizualisation. I have mastered sketchup as it is very user friendly, im only 21 and am interested in 3D and if i want to be able to produce superb 3D 3d max seems the way to go!! what are the best tutorials available for me to teach myself 3DS max specific to Architectural design! Thank You all for your replies!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank You all for your replies!! but it sounds like you certainly don't lack enthusiasm! the best way to learn max is to meticulously go through the tuts that come bundled with it. they're superb. again, imo, self teaching is the way to go.

will1113 Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 Fair point!! I have the enthusiasm for 3D!! I have taken my time to learn the software!! i have produced many renders, but am lacking with resources having such a slow machine!! My company are a a large primary health care company, and are regularly bidding for projects!! so they need to produce a quick design and get it rendered for a presentation!! What i ment personally i have the enthusiasm for 3D, but my collegues do not have the time to sit through the manual and go through the trial and error process, due to the fact of large work load!!! Once they got over the basics they too could enjoy the art of rendering!! They are a bit computer illiterate!! they had never heard of vray or rendering until i joined 6months ago!! Thank you very much for your replies!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Mottle Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 If you end up opting for just for normal v-ray training, I would reccomend checking out Brian Smith's videos too: http://cgarchitect.vismasters.com/static/training/vray/video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
