mental ray workshop
The aim of this training workshop in Berlin is to provide participants with the know-how to significantly improve the quality of their renderings with mental ray, to save a lot of time with the right settings and also to show that additional renderers in Autodesk 3ds Max are not even necessary. The clearly structured topic blocks cover the basics through to professional applications such as industrial and architectural visualisation or programming your own shaders. Participants will be able to create images of outstanding quality and unrivalled realism with mental ray. The high quality is ensured by the fact that both the training content and the written (German) tutorials have been coordinated with mental images GmbH. Both individual days and the entire workshop can be booked. Those who complete the entire workshop will receive a certificate from mental images GmbH. During the workshop, each participant works on an HP high-end workstation, which can also be purchased at special conditions.
