New AI Lectures Added
Five new lectures have been added to the Ultimate 3ds Max + V-Ray Photorealistic 3D Rendering Course on Udemy. They explore AI tools for 3D artists, focusing on Image Enhancement, Style Transfer, and AI-driven animations.
Why it matters: These additions are designed to enhance your skills, helping you deliver even better results to clients and give you a competitive edge in the industry.
EASY Tips for Photorealism in 3D Rendering
Mastering photorealism in 3D rendering involves subtle adjustments that make your work look convincingly real. In this video, we explore tips like adding slight imperfections to objects, varying textures, softening hard edges, and using noise modifiers to create natural variations.
Why it matters: These techniques help overcome common issues in 3D rendering, such as overly perfect geometry and repetitive textures, which can break the illusion of realism. By incorporating these subtle changes, your 3D scenes will feel more authentic.
