Requirements

Basic Knowledge of operationg 3ds Max + V-Ray (or any other 3D Software) is recommended to get the most out of this course.

Description

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.

WHAT WILL I LEARN?

How to prepare your Rendering for Postprocessing

HOW IS THIS COURSE STRUCTURED?

This course is structured in 4 different parts:

Preparation: We will talk about the entire Preparation Process. We will discuss on where to find helpful online ressources, how to set up basic render settings, how to import the model into your 3D Software and then touch on various points that you would need to take note of when dealing with HDRI’s.

Lighting: We will discover the proper way of creating our own Custom Lighting Setup for Car Rendering. We will walk through the whole Setup Process, talk about common Issues that are present in many Render Engines, finalize our Setup with additional Refinements and set up a proper Tonemapping Workflow.

Shading: We will explore everything that is related to shading Cars. We will go through all the different Shaders which we require for our car, starting with advanced Car Paint Shading and talk about all other other parts such as Lights, Rims, Tires, Engine, Exhaust and so on. You will learn how to build all Shaders from scratch so that you can easily recreate those steps for your own Projects.

Extra: In this included Extra part you can find additional information which is important for Car Rendering. We will walk through the Scene File which you can download and discover how we can use it. Additionally 2 free Extra lessons are uncluded: – Car Studio Lighting and V-Ray VFB to PSD workflow

WHO IS THE TEACHER?

I have been working as a Digital Artist specialized in 3D Lighting, Shading and Rendering since 2009. Over the years I have worked on countless Automotive Projects including High-Res Stillframe Renderings and Animations. You can get an overview of my work in my latest Showreel or Website
