I really enjoyed the course. Adam has a simple but charismatic way of explaining each path to bring your models and scenes to life with a realistic look. The classes are well-structured and the material for each lesson is available for you to follow along. It's perfect for people who have already worked with 3ds Max, because the course is fast and dynamic, so people with experience won't get bored. I learned a lot of tricks that made my workflow much faster and smoother. I would definitely like to take more of Adam's courses and encourage him to continue teaching, because he has a lot of potential.

I found this course quite helpful. I learned new methods and keys that I didn't know before. Adam's explanation is very good and they reply fast. I think that this course covered all topics in an interior render scene. I appreciated the use of MD and Photoshop in addition to 3DS Max and Vray. Overall I'm satisfied of the final result. Thank you!!

I like the content from starting to finish. Its a mid level course in the end. I learn new things for sure. I think more information can be added to make it advance level.
