1. AV Using Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design, Autodesk Revit®, and iray® to Render Compelling Photographic Scenes
Steven Schain
Autodesk Certified Instructor

2. Class Summary
This virtual class introduces designers to the real world use of and best practices for rendering Revit models using 3ds Max and iray. Learn key techniques for working with Revit models inside of 3ds Max, and what it takes to render photographic quality images using iray. This class will introduce the use of traditional architectural photographic techniques and composition to create compelling images. See how you can get ahead of the competition by creating visually compelling, photorealistic renderings using photographic compositions and iray.
