SketchUp
Adorei, demorei muito para usar o Vray com receio de ser muito complexo, mas o curso explica muito bem os conteúdos.
Me encantó el curso, está muy completo y lo explica de una manera tan fácil que haga que quieras seguir aprendiendo más.
excelente muy completo
Gracias! Toda la información en un sitio y a la vez, sin ir por fascículos. Concreta, precisa y sin dispersión. Me gustó mucho sobre todo ver el proceso y cómo muestra el diálogo interno que tiene la profesora durante el proceso para conseguir los renders. Esta era una parte de Vray en la que había ido dando palos sueltos y por fin puedo decir que tengo completa esta parte de iluminación y materiales por el momento. Lo recomiendo totalmente. Gracias de nuevo por este curso. Merece mucho la pena.
No termine el curso aún,pero hasta el momento me parece muy claro y con información muy valiosa.
