Welcome to this course on 3D Car Rendering. In this complete course we will learn how to render a Photorealistic Car completely from scratch.

WHICH SOFTWARE WILL BE USED?

We will be using 3ds Max and V-Ray 5 but keep everything very general so that all those techniques are easily transferable to any other Software Packages such as Cinema 4d / C4D, Maya, Blender, Corona, Arnold, Octane, RedShift, Eevee and Cycles.

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?

Everyone who has at least some basic knowledge in 3D. This course won't cover the total basics of operating your 3D Software but is ideal for ambitious Artists who always wanted to render Photorealistic Cars but have no idea how to start.
