The 3ds Max + V-Ray for Interior Design short course is an intensive, hands-on training designed to give learners the full workflow of 3D interior visualization—from modeling to photorealistic rendering. This program equips participants with both the creative and technical skills needed to turn interior design concepts into professional-quality visual presentations.
The course begins with Autodesk 3ds Max fundamentals, where students learn how to set up projects, navigate the interface, and model interior spaces. Step by step, they will create walls, floors, ceilings, furniture, and decorative details, focusing on accuracy, scale, and proportion. Advanced modeling tools are introduced for more complex designs, along with best practices for organizing and managing 3D scenes.
Next, the course transitions to V-Ray for rendering, where learners discover how to apply realistic materials and textures such as wood, stone, glass, fabric, and metal. They will also learn the art of interior lighting—from natural daylight simulations to artificial lighting setups—ensuring interiors look both realistic and visually appealing.
Students will practice camera setup and composition, learning how to stage interiors for maximum impact, before diving into V-Ray rendering settings to produce high-resolution, photorealistic outputs. Post-processing techniques are also covered to enhance final images for client presentations, marketing, and portfolio use.
The course culminates in a capstone interior project, where participants model, light, and render a complete interior scene. This final project allows them to apply all skills learned and walk away with a portfolio-ready visualization.
The 3ds Max + V-Ray for Interior Design short course is a comprehensive program that introduces learners to the end-to-end process of creating high-quality 3D interior visualizations. It is structured to move step by step—from building accurate interior models in 3ds Max to rendering photorealistic images in V-Ray—giving participants both the technical precision and creative freedom needed in today’s design industry.
Learners begin by mastering 3D modeling in 3ds Max, focusing on walls, floors, ceilings, furniture, and decorative elements. They will explore modeling workflows that ensure accuracy, clean geometry, and efficient scene management. As they progress, they learn to integrate detail and scale into their designs, creating interiors that are both realistic and presentation-ready.
The course then emphasizes rendering with V-Ray, where participants discover how to create lifelike materials and textures—wood, glass, metal, fabric, marble, and more—and apply professional lighting techniques. Natural daylight simulations, artificial lighting setups, and IES profiles are explored to help learners bring mood, depth, and realism into their interior scenes.
Another key component is camera setup and composition, ensuring that rendered images not only look real but also tell a visual story. Students gain practical experience in choosing viewpoints, framing shots, and producing images that engage clients and stakeholders.
By the conclusion of the course, learners complete a capstone interior project, producing a polished set of rendered images suitable for client presentations, marketing, or portfolio development.
This program is ideal for interior designers, architects, visualization artists, and students who want to enhance their ability to communicate design concepts through professional 3D modeling and photorealistic rendering. By the end, participants will have the confidence to produce visuals that meet industry standards and elevate the impact of their interior design projects.
Learn how to navigate the 3ds Max interface and tools. Set up units, templates, and workspace for interior projects. Begin basic modeling of walls, floors, and ceilings, and organize scenes with layers and groups.
