About the 3ds Max Professional course

Autodesk 3ds Max is 3D modelling, rendering and animation software. In architecture and interior design it is widely used to turn plans into photorealistic still images and walkthrough videos for clients, and it is also used for product visualisation, furniture presentation and games. Design studios, real estate marketing teams and freelance visualisers rely on it when detail and realism matter.

The 120-hour 3ds Max Professional course covers the full visualisation workflow. You learn the interface, viewports, units and scene setup, then model buildings, interiors and furniture with editable poly and modifiers, including importing AutoCAD plans for accurate architectural models. Materials and maps are built in the Slate Material Editor, and exterior and interior scenes are lit with sun, sky and artificial lights. Rendering is done with V-Ray, from materials and lights to cameras and render settings. You also animate cameras to produce walkthrough videos and post-process renders for client presentations. The course is hands-on, in CADD classrooms or live online on a Windows PC with a dedicated graphics card.

Graduates of the course can work as 3D visualisers, interior 3D designers, architectural rendering artists or walkthrough animators. Learners who want faster concept modelling can pair it with SketchUp, and many designers use both.

You will be able to

  • Navigate the 3ds Max interface, viewports, units and scene setup
  • Model buildings, interiors and furniture with editable poly and modifiers
  • Import AutoCAD plans and build accurate architectural models
  • Create realistic materials and maps in the Slate Material Editor
  • Light exterior and interior scenes with sun, sky and artificial lights
  • Render high-quality images with V-Ray and fine-tune render settings
  • Animate cameras and produce walkthrough videos
  • Post-process renders for client presentations

Who it is for

  • Architecture, interior design and civil students
  • Interior designers and architects who want photorealistic renders
  • 3D visualizers who want to move from SketchUp to 3ds Max
  • Furniture and product designers who present in 3D

What you need

  • Basic computer skills
  • Basic AutoCAD knowledge is helpful for importing plans
  • A Windows PC with 16 GB RAM and a dedicated graphics card for live online classes
