V-Ray Training?

[braddewald]

I am always looking for V-Ray training (for 3ds max) in my spare time and besides some semi-helpful tutorials here and there I can never find a complete training course. I recently tried VisMaster's V-Ray Training and loved it to death. I have also watched some webinars that were helpful as well. I am looking for anything else though that provides an in-depth training experience for V-Ray.

I'm really not sure about any training courses online but you could take a look at this:

Although I don't have it yet, I hear it's very good.

Depends on what yo're really looking for. Are you looking to learn the engine from scratch or are you stuck on certain things and want to get better?

In the end the best teacher is working everyday with it in a demanding productive environment. You get to learn the tricks from veterans... can't recommend anything better.
