Does the 3ds Max and V-ray course on your website include all the Udemy lecture materials and courses?
The course on the website includes all of the lecture materials + some bonuses. As well as a certificate of attendance. It also includes the 3D 360 Walkthrough and Camera matching to 3D into video courses too. It is much simpler to take the course as a whole from start to end, than jump about from course to course on Udemy.
What is the main software you use?
Software I use regularly; Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop + After Effects), 3ds Max, and V-Ray for 3ds Max.
What is V-Ray?
V-ray is a rendering plugin used with common 3d software applications like Max. It provides global illumination and advanced lighting, materials and creation capabilities to generate realistic lighting effects, and materials as well as highly organic volumetric objects.
Is it necessary to have Autocad / Revit / Archicad installed on my system too?
You will receive various file types from clients, luckily the majority can be brought straight into 3ds Max.
In the very beginning, you started out working for a company. Would you say that this would be beneficial for me too?
The experience of working in-house is valuable. But not essential. As long as you understand the value of systems, workflows, and structure.
How do I start searching for such companies to apply for a job? How do I even know they are legit if I'm sitting on the other side of the world?
You build a portfolio, on Squarespace and Behance. Publish work regularly and talk with studios and architects. Sites like Indeed are good for the job search. I attend 3ds London each month and companies are crying out for talent.
The key to success in 3ds Max is being a hard worker. If you put in the time and effort, you will reap the rewards. The 3ds Max software is one of the most powerful rendering tools available, and it's also a very versatile tool that can be used for many different purposes. With enough dedication and determination, you can become an amazing 3ds Max artist and make a name for yourself in this industry.
