Course Description

***MUDBOX workflow included*** ***More lectures coming soon*** ***30 day money back gaurantee, no questions asked.*** WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING "I've been watching the first chapters and I like the way Adam teaches. His way of teaching is easy to follow and understand" "I wanted to learn more about modeling in Max and I did. The course also has a lot of added bonuses I wasn't expecting. Wasn't too familiar with Vray or Mudbox before. Both are good tools, and they are covered here. The instructor knows what he is doing. The sound is good and he is easy to follow." HIGH DETAIL / HIGH POLY MODELING IN 3DS MAX I do architectural visualization using 3ds Max, so I work on making furniture every day. It is often one of the most challenging parts of my job. In this course, I want to teach you all the various techniques and workflows that I use. You will not only learn how to model furniture, but you will also be educated in the art of poly modeling, and creating high-detail assets in general. This is a valuable skill to have in 3d as it often gives your images that extra realism that it needs to become truly "photo real". *As an added bonus, if you know how to make models like these, you can actually sell them to other people online. There is a huge market for them. The course covers the info you need to do that as well, but most importantly it is about being a great modeler. *Many lectures and new techniques are continually being added. This course is intended to be a true masterclass for furniture modeling, so there are many different techniques and workflows to discuss.

Plus, you get all my poly modeling techniques along with special tips using cloth modifier and other unique workflows. There is a ton of bang for your buck in this course. There is something here for everyone, and if you follow the course you will definitely leave with a modeling toolbox that is overflowing with options. COURSE STRUCTURE This class focuses on the modeling of high-poly / high-detail furniture. This is something that people in the industry need every day.

Follow along with me, and by the end you will have created an organic chair model that looks great. Even better, you will have the skills necessary to create all the custom furniture you need, and sell it online to others if you see fit. I will also provide my files for download so you can tinker with, adjust, study, or sell my model if you like. After I have taken you through the modeling of a chair step by step, we will then get into additional techniques and workflows that will be helpful to anyone trying to create photo real models.

its good

By Hector Allier on 8/18/2020

Great course for modelling different king of 3d assets. Appreciate the effort put into these 3dsmax intermediate lessons. Keep up the good work Adam!

disoppointed old version

By Luka aki on 3/11/2020

The course is what I was looking for. I especially liked the UV unwrapping part because Adam makes the workflow simple to understand.
All in all, love Adams tutorials. He sounds friendly and relaxed and eases you into the lectures. Rarely does things without explaining what he clicked and why is he going to do this and that.
If you want to improve your modeling skills this is a great class.

By Gerard on 2/11/2020

Instructor is very good, should be playback speed control within the user interface like You Tube and LinkedIn Learning have so that students can slow down the instructions as needed. Also instructor could be more clear regarding how he can use the vertex mode from the right view to extrude polygons, still a mystery to me but used a work around.

As Usual Great presentation with lot of valuable Information

struggling to follow along

By Pablo Quintana on 7/27/2019

The resolution should be improved to 1080p at least. Also, the audio levels are all over the place when changing chapters.

good course

By Ross Cameron on 4/25/2019

This course is great, and I really like Adam's teaching style.
He speaks slowly and clearly, which allows me to go 1x when i need to follow along or really see something, and all the way up to 1.5x without much distortion.
His lessons are clear and after having taken his intro course and this one, I'm pretty comfortable with the basics of 3ds Max.
I do wish he was able to cover retopo in a bit more depth, and get in to the weeds of some of 3ds' more advanced functions, but good overall.
I'd recommend this and the intro course to anyone transitioning to 3d modeling from another creative profession, you'll become quickly familiar with the UI and functions, as they closely follow (at least logically) Photoshop, Illustrator, AfterEffects, etc.
