Develop a housing project in a natural setting and create unique hyper-realistic images
Transmitting the essence of a home or architectural space involves representing each detail impeccably, of every material, lighting, or setting that was chosen, to convey the feeling of a space. Architectural studio Visualfabrik focuses on visualizing architecture from its exterior as much as its interiors, revealing a lifestyle in the midst of nature, spaces to relax and enjoy, transmitting a feeling that goes further than a simple image.
In this course, Visualfabrik teaches how to create an architectural design with the space that surrounds it with 3ds Max and V-Ray. Learn how to recreate a natural space that includes fields, plants, trees, and all flora that bring a space to life.

Muy buen curso para pasar de un nivel medio avanzado a uno experto, ya que algunos conceptos o comandos se llegan a conocer con la practica constante. Por otro lado, detalla algunas tecnicas que otros cursos no lo hacen y logran una gran diferencia en el resultado de un render.
