New to Vray

[usmanbaig]

Hi all newbie here. A little bit about myself, currently employed as an automotive design engineer but also run my own design agency that caters to all aspects of design, 3D, digital, print & animation etc

 

long story short i'm versed in multiple design programs but most common day to day ones are the Adobe CS, Solidworks and Keyshot4. Ive just started playing with 3DS Max 2015 + the latest version of Vray and i have to say my minds blown with the amount of work involved in creating photo realistic renders.

 

My plan is to set to a CGI visualisation studio within 2 years along with my cousin who studied animation and special effects in university so hes upto speed with 3ds max, vray, maya and Zbrush so between us i think we have the potential for some really good opportunities but i want to get myself to a really good standard of rendering with Vray for interior and exterior buildings added to product rendering too.

 

Has anyone got any advice for me? im literally aiming to do a tutorial a night on youtube at home but the information is overwhelming. im considering signing up to " master Vray" by Grant Warwick so im looking at building a solid foundation before im confident enough to enter the industry and compete with professionals.

 

Heres a few examples of some renders in Keyshot ive done.

Consider looking into 'Lynda' online video training, I learned a heck of a lot about 3dsmax and archvis generally from that great resource.

Yeah, Lynda and Digital Tutors and the Vray Lessons available here on CG Architect in the shop are going to be your best bet. Grant Warwick's courses are great but they're really for advanced users - as in you need to already have a solid existing understanding of 3ds Max and Vray to really get anything useful out of it.
