This class is primarily intended for existing 3ds Max users looking to treat their renders as a post-process within Combustion and/or Photoshop.

Topics: Painting tools, Transfer modes, Layers, Render Elements and Selective effects, the Material Editor, UVW Mapping and more.

You will learn:

• Using paint tools to enhance a static/still render
• Working with layers
• RPF rendering and 3D compositing
• Different rendering considerations of animation and print design work

Duration: 2 days (or 4 evenings)

Level: Intermediate/Advanced

Prerequisite: 3ds Max Fundamentals or a working knowledge of 3ds Max in a production environment is required. Combustion Fundamentals recommended.
