MODELING IMPRESSIVE ARCHITECTURAL EXTERIORS IN 3DS MAX AND V-RAY
In this course, you will learn how to model a high-end architectural house from 2d CAD plans and provide fast quality rendering. In this course, the essential steps of modeling and rendering will be familiar with easy editing and high speed rendering. Several essential modeling techniques such as working with CAD maps and multifaceted modeling of different components of high resolution buildings will also be learned. At the end of the course, you able to meditate like an architect, and you can model and render a building. The software required for this educational cycle is 3DS Max 2012, V-Ray 2.0, AutoCAD 2013 and Photoshop CS4.
