Chaos Group and Learn3D will also devote a special time for in depth V-Ray for 3ds Max trainings on the 29th of May (Saturday) and 30th of May (Sunday).

The trainings are aimed at experienced V-Ray users and among other things will cover the following topics:

  • • How to handle heavy files (translation, optimizations, using proxies, etc)
  • • How to work with animation (using light cache, noise reduction, etc)
  • • Memory management techniques
  • • How to set up network rendering and DBR
  • • Working with V-Ray Rendered Elements and separate passes

This is not a beginners course and a basic understanding of V-Ray is a must. Each course will be 8h long, running from 8h30 to 17h30 with one hour lunch break, either on Saturday or Sunday. Space is limited to 15 attendants per class, so book early to guarantee your place in this not to be missed opportunity.
