CG WORKSHOP presents EXTERIORS TRAINING Visualisation training program volume TWO

Duration: 01.07.2011-01.08.2011 - intermediate level

(This course requiers basic knowledge about 3dsmax and V ray rendering engine. If you are not sure about your knowledge level
please contact us under motyw@motyw.info or use our contact form in support section on CGW site)

INTRODUCTION

This training program will focus on architecture visualizations, theory and techniques which understanding will allow you to take your rendering to another level. Program is dedicated to intermediate and semi advanced
users of 3ds max and V RAY. Beginners might find very useful tips too (before joining we strongly recommend to
watch our tutorials). Lectures with professional photographers will explain what you should expect in the 3d world
using the v ray cameras. Also additional information about post processing and connection between real cameras
and their parameters with virtual ones.

CGW exteriors - combine theory from many areas and will show you the way how to implement advanced
techniques in your own scenes. Project files for each lecture will lead you through the process. Also a closed special
forum with brand new features will allow to discuss in real time all issues with our tutors. You can also choose to
work on your own scenes or to use the provided predefined ones. This training program will expose three different
scenes which you will learn how to build and render from scratch! Each student will also receive plenty of models
and textures which can be use later on in commercial or personal projects.
After the training best artworks will be published in our news section and MOTYW company blog.
All data will be available for you one month so you do not have to worry about the terms. Even if you will be
absent our forum will remain open 24h every day. You will be able to receive feedback and ask any quastion on
private or public channel.

We are not offering you just models, presented examples will let you easily understand the techniques and
ideas which make renderings unique.
WORKFLOW
CG WORKSHOP EXTERIORS TRAINING consists of 10 days of lectures (over 10 hours HD movies) and 6
days on line practice. Also between the lectures you have our guests and tutors live to your service during LIVE
Chats every Tuesday and Thursday (4-8pm + 01:00 GMT). You will need only 3 hours daily to gain the fundamental knowledge. If you miss any day you will be able to continue the program by downloading all files and
lectures.
Last week (25.07.11-01.08.11) is a lifebuoy for those who have missed lectures or practice days . If you would
like to come back with quastions concerning lectures or you will find some techniques still not clear or difficult to
implement our tutors will help you out and solve all issues.
