PV Intensive Course 2025 (Eng) by Daniel Nagaets

This intensive course packs the core of Render.Camp’s full 8-week program into five focused days. You’ll build five complete scenes—interiors and exteriors—covering the most common client scenarios. It’s about getting the structure, lighting, and composition right, fast.

🎯 What you’ll learn

• Build clean, professionally organized 3ds Max scenes from scratch.
• Control mood and emotion using lighting logic and color theory Corona Renderer.
• Create realistic, expressive shaders for common materials like plaster, wood, and stone.
• Apply post-production techniques in Photoshop and use AI tools like Stable Diffusion and Midjourney to refine your renders.

✅ Requirements

• Skills: Basic understanding of 3ds Max and Corona Renderer interface.
• Tools: 3-button mouse.
• Hardware: Computer capable of running 3ds Max and Corona Renderer.

📝 Description

This isn’t a theory-heavy lecture series. Over five days, you’ll work through five distinct scenes, each designed to tackle a specific lighting and composition challenge. The instructor builds everything live, explaining the “why” behind every decision—from asset selection and scene organization to fine-tuning materials and final polish.

The course focuses on the core elements that make a render work: lighting logic, color composition, and camera work. You’ll learn how to control the emotional tone of an image, create rhythm and focus, and spot weak points in your own work. The final day also covers modern AI tools like Stable Diffusion and Magnific, showing you how to use them to enhance your renders without breaking the core image.

🧑‍🎓 Who this course is for

• Interior designers and architects who want their renders to match their vision.
• 3D artists who feel their work lacks structure, clarity, or a professional finish.
• Students looking for a fast, practical, and intensive learning experience in architectural visualization.
