The Interior Design with 3ds Max + Corona Renderer short course is an intensive, hands-on training designed to equip learners with the complete workflow of 3D visualization for interior spaces. Across 8 days, participants will master how to model, texture, light, and render interiors to a professional, photorealistic standard.
The course begins with the fundamentals of Autodesk 3ds Max, teaching participants how to set up projects, create interior architectural elements (walls, floors, windows, and ceilings), and build custom furniture or decorative pieces. As skills progress, students will explore advanced modeling techniques and learn how to import and optimize CAD drawings into 3ds Max, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in real projects.
A strong focus is placed on materials and textures, where students gain the ability to create lifelike surfaces such as wood, fabric, glass, and metal using Corona Materials. This is followed by mastering lighting techniques with Corona Renderer, including natural daylight systems, artificial lighting setups, and IES profiles for professional interior illumination.
Learners also practice camera setup and composition, developing the ability to stage their interiors for maximum visual impact. With Corona’s powerful rendering engine, students will produce high-resolution, photorealistic images, learning about render settings, denoising, render passes, and post-processing to polish their final outputs.
The program concludes with a capstone interior project, where participants apply everything they have learned to create a complete interior design scene—modeled, textured, lit, and rendered—resulting in a professional-quality visualization ready for client presentation or inclusion in a portfolio.
The 8-Day Interior Design with 3ds Max + Corona Renderer Program is a practical, hands-on short course designed to give learners the full skillset needed to produce photorealistic 3D interior visualizations. Starting with the basics of 3ds Max, students are introduced to modeling techniques for walls, furniture, and decorative elements, gradually moving into more advanced workflows used in professional interior design studios.
A strong focus is placed on materials and textures, where participants learn to apply realistic finishes such as wood, metal, glass, and fabric using Corona Renderer’s powerful material system. Alongside this, students gain an in-depth understanding of interior lighting techniques, including daylight simulations and artificial lighting setups, as well as how to place cameras to achieve compelling and professional visual compositions.
In the final stages of the program, learners explore render settings and post-production, developing the ability to create polished, high-quality images suitable for client presentations or portfolio use. The course concludes with a capstone project, where participants design and render a complete interior scene, showcasing their ability to manage the entire workflow—from modeling to final output.
By the end of the course, students will have the confidence to use 3ds Max and Corona Renderer as professional tools, with the skills to produce realistic and impactful visualizations that support both creative design concepts and client communication.
