Vray Certified Professionals

[glorybound]

How does one go about obtaining this certification? Is there coarse material to study, practice tests? What does it cost? I figure that I have been using V-Ray long enough that I should probably learn it now

I had no idea this was a thing. I'd quite like to see that test, be interesting to see what it covers.

Considering there are one (or more) vray programmers/developers on that list, it could be quite "in depth" :P

I found this, but I am also interested in some more information.
Did all exams are in English?

There should definitely be a few US locations on that list, my question is what good is having this certification I mean I've never heard of any employer looking for something like this.

[joconnell]

Yep - It's really good if you want to be an educator and want to train other people in vray but if you're looking for a job in a studio it's all about the reel / renders!

On that note I reckon you'd be better off taking a holiday and working with Bertrand, Peter or Alfa for a few days. I'd quite happily work for a relatively cheap rate in digital domain commercials on a project to see what their workflow is and what their renders look like before they go into comp - working with some great compers on a feature at the minute but far too many things to do to sit down with them and see their process :/

a certification in an industry leading software couldn't hurt.
