Margarita is an exceptional professional 2 times that i had an issue with a command on the program she was there to help me and solve the problem instantly. The way this course is taught is very easy to understand and to the point! Its the first course that makes me understand how 3ds max works and it gives me clear directions towards my first renders.

The course is really structured, the explanations are clear and simple. Maybe I would add some more lessons on some Corona tools such as the Scatter that I expected to find.
