This course is suitable for beginners or professionals who want to develop solid skills in 3D modeling, visualization and animation. It is ideal for those who work or want to work in the areas of interior design, architecture, product, multimedia and technical visualization.
The course is accessible to anyone starting out in 3ds Max, but it is strongly recommended that you have previous experience with computer-aided design, such as AutoCAD, SketchUp or equivalent software. This foundation will make it easier to understand spatial principles, coordination, and project reading - especially in the early stages of modelling and scene organization. The course starts from basic concepts in 3ds Max, but quickly moves on to visualization and animation techniques that benefit from a solid technical foundation.
To follow the course, you will need a computer with internet access, a microphone and a camera for active participation in the live online classes;
During the course, you will essentially use 3ds Max and Photoshop:
_As an Autodesk software, 3ds Max is included in the free student license. The trainers will explain how to legally access and install this educational version;
_Photoshop, on the other hand, will be available during the classes via remote access to LSD's computers, where it is installed with a professional license. Outside the sessions, you can buy the student version of Adobecomdiscount.
This course prepares you to work as:
_3D modeler for architecture and interiors;
_Visualization and rendering technician in product or furniture design;
_Collaborator in animation and multimedia production studios;
_Freelancer or consultant specializing in virtual environments and digital presentations.
You'll develop a complete project that includes modeling interiors or products, applying realistic materials, technical lighting, simple animations and post-production of professional-quality images. As an example, take a look at the student projects featured in the brochure and on the website.
