VRay: Lighting, Materials, and Photorealistic Rendering

The VRay training introduces participants to one of the most powerful and widely used rendering engines in architecture, design, and 3D visualization. Through a progressive two-day approach, you will first learn the fundamentals of VRay, including interface navigation, installation, basic materials, lighting, cameras, and core rendering principles. The second day focuses on advanced techniques such as Global Illumination (GI), complex reflections and refractions, atmospheric effects, and camera animation. With hands-on workshops and a complete practical project, you will be able to produce high-quality, photorealistic renders.
