Description
Fast. Fun. Dynamic. Practical. Easy-to-grasp. Are you a beginner or intermediate 3D artist who is interested in sci-fi design? Are you interested in a course that guides your hand and takes you step-by-step through a series of gradually more complex designs until you are confident in making anything you want? If you are then this course is for you! I designed this course to introduce design in a cohesive and practical way, by taking real life objects and giving them a sci-fi twist! We will take objects like thermoses, crates, shovels, helmets, concrete barriers, medkits, glasses, traffic cones, coolers, game consoles, and more and turn them into sleek sci-fi props. You will become proficient in 3D Studio Max, V-Ray, and Plasticity and learn some great techniques for fast design such as the auto-crease workflow for Max. To sweeten the deal, in addition to modeling, you will also learn how to create procedural materials in V-Ray so you can add complex detail and damage and grime to your models right away without having to worry about unwrapping UVs or going into Substance Painter. V-Ray decals are used extensively so you can add stickers and logos quickly by just placing the decal object on your model. You will also learn how to easily render and add post-processing effects, volume lights, and lens effects directly in Max without having to go into Photoshop or any other program. Max and V-Ray have all that you need! This course will continue to get updates for months to come so be sure to visit often to see the new content and stay tuned for updates on my Youtube channel: Arrimus3D.
Who this course is for:
New and intermediate modelers and designers who want to improve their designs in polygon and CAD applications.
