What will you learn in this Corona in 3ds Max course?

3ds Max is the industry standard modeling and rendering software for visualizations. Corona is a plugin that adds the ability to easily create photorealistic images to 3ds Max. This course focuses on photorealistic 3d renderings. This course IS NOT for modeling in 3ds Max.

This course will teach you how to use Corona in 3ds Max to design realistic 3D interiors. This includes:

  • Learn the basics of 3ds Max, including the interface, tools, selection and transform tools, and how to save projects

  • Learn how to set up a project, assign Corona, and adjust your render settings

  • Learn how to add cameras, compose a shot, and adjust your settings

Once you learn the skills in this course, you can then move on to exteriors and other types of renderings. But this course is focused on teaching you lighting, cameras, and materials for interior spaces.

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.
