Requirements

Know your way around 3ds Max UI and Photoshop UI. Be comfortable following my lead within those programs at a fairly rapid pace. If you don't have 3ds Max, V-Ray, or Photoshop, I will show you where to get trial versions in the course.

You don't need to know V-Ray for this course because the parts of V-Ray that I use are basic, and should be familiar to anyone who knows a little bit of 3d.

His way of teaching is easy to follow and understand"  "I wanted to learn more about modeling in Max and I did. The course also has a lot of added bonuses I wasn't expecting. Wasn't too familiar with Vray or Mudbox before. Both are good tools, and they are covered here. The instructor knows what he is doing. The sound is good and he is easy to follow."  HIGH DETAIL / HIGH POLY MODELING IN 3DS MAX  I do architectural visualization using 3ds Max, so I work on making furniture every day.  It is often one of the most challenging parts of my job.  In this course, I want to teach you all the various techniques and workflows that I use.  You will not only learn how to model furniture, but you will also be educated in the art of poly modeling, and creating high-detail assets in general.  This is a valuable skill to have in 3d as it often gives your images that extra realism that it needs to become truly "photo real".  *As an added bonus, if you know how to make models like these, you can actually sell them to other people online.  There is a huge market for them.  The course covers the info you need to do that as well, but most importantly it is about being a great modeler.  *Many lectures and new techniques are continually being added.  This course is intended to be a true masterclass for furniture modeling, so there are many different techniques and workflows to discuss.  As the curriculum is built upon, the price will go up, so get in early.    WHY THIS COURSE?  First of all, it is cheap!  Secondly, you learn a ton about modeling from a practicing professional.  There are so many bonuses in this course, including the Mudbox workflow, Photoshop painting, V-Ray materials and rendering setup, and so much more.  Plus, you get all my poly modeling techniques along with special tips using cloth modifier and other unique workflows.  There is a ton of bang for your buck in this course.  There is something here for everyone, and if you follow the course you will definitely leave with a modeling toolbox that is overflowing with options.  COURSE STRUCTURE  This class focuses on the modeling of high-poly / high-detail furniture.  This is something that people in the industry need every day.  If you look around the web you will find many architectural renderings that are full of stunning, immaculately modeled, furniture.  In this course, I will take you through the process, step by step, on how to create these kinds of models.  Follow along with me, and by the end you will have created an organic chair model that looks great.  Even better, you will have the skills necessary to create all the custom furniture you need, and sell it online to others if you see fit.  I will also provide my files for download so you can tinker with, adjust, study, or sell my model if you like.
