And you know, idle hands……. 😈 So I found this model by Jamil Green and I thought it could be a good model to test some shaders I’ve seen on Grant Warwick’s Mastering Lighting course. But I needed more geometry, and this particular model is great (thanks, Jamil),

I helped him in two of them (kind of my speciality, if you will): Lighting and Rendering in 3dsmax with VRay, and Architectural Visualization with 3dsmax and VRay. Just like previous years, we had a great bunch of students, very enthusiastic and eager to learn almost from scratch. And even the

For now, this is the VRay version (Thea Render version soon to come, I hope)  😎 Other things I practiced were: modeling hard surfaces (which I’m not used to), playing with Marvelous Designer, adding extra detail to the edges of surfaces, following a tutoria
