The Ultimate Introduction to V-Ray for 3Ds Max

This is the biggest course ever from Mograph Plus having spent almost four months working on this tutorial.

In this course, in more than 17 hours, or 1030 minutes of high quality and academic video tutorials, we explore one of the most popular render engines which is V-Ray from Chaos Group.

“The Ultimate Introduction to V-Ray for 3ds Max” from Mograph Plus is without a doubt, the most detailed, high quality and academically approached course for V-Ray, ever created.

Awesome! I'll sign up.5

[glorybound]

I purchased and two of the compressed files were bad. I downloaded them a second time, but again, both were bad. I sent you an email the other day, but I have not heard back.

[sheehan_partners_nm]

Interesting!

[trick]

Bobby,

Can you give me your opinion on this course? Did you hear back about the corrupted files?

Thanks

[glorybound]

Yes, I did hear back and he corrected the issue. I was only able to watch the intro, but so far, so good. They are very well done.

[trick]

Thanks for the info

[Nicinus]

Any more feedback on this, or anyone else that have followed it?

I would like to take my skills up a notch but I'm a bit concerned that many of these courses, like Ciro Sannini (apologies if misspelt) and the Warwick stuff, are based on now older versions of Vray and that the workflow is in a state of change.

[glorybound]

I haven't had time to get past the intro.

[Nicinus]

Lol, typically happens to my training video purchases as well.

I was mostly wondering if this guy seems to make it interesting. From the toc it seems as if he slavishly goes through button by button, which isn't a good sign to me.

[glorybound]

Yes, he says that he literally presses every button.

[Syclone1]

Thinking about getting this one, any more feedback from anyone that has it?

[Pixelcon]

Yeah thinking about using this to train some of people in house here. Would love some feedback also...

[sheehan_partners_nm]

I bought them, though haven't had the time to look at everything. So far so good. What I like the most is that the videos are fairly short and straight to the point, so you don't have to wait extra time in words after words.
There are plenty of them already on their youtube channel, so you can get a full preview of the lessons prior to buying them.
