FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Planet Digital Announces New VRay Training Courses for 3ds Max

Orlando, FL – May 5th, 2006 – Planet Digital Education becomes the first Autodesk Authorized Training Center to offer targeted, instructor-led, hands-on training courses in the V-Ray plug-in for Autodesk 3ds Max. Chaos Group’s VRay renderer is a plug-in that allows the 3ds Max user to by-pass the default scanline renderer and achieve truly photorealistic quality with minimal effort. Because of its unsurpassed quality, speed, and ease of use, VRay is rapidly becoming the industry’s weapon of choice for architectural visualization, and is already a favorite among film and game producers.

“Prior to this, the only V-Ray training classes available were delivered via DVD, and we kept getting phone calls from people across the country asking for live classroom training where students could ask questions, work on their own files, and get specific guidance from the instructor,” explains Janice Miller, Director of Education. “With demand increasing, we immediately teamed up with industry experts to fill this need, and developed an exceptional training curriculum for V-Ray users of all skill levels. Our instructors teach students how to maximize speed and efficiency with V-Ray and what settings to use to achieve breath-taking realism. Students even have the opportunity to bring their own scene files with them to work on during class to make sure they are getting the results they need.”

Planet Digital Education expands its line of prestigious 3D modeling and visualization offerings to include these short-form intensive courses in the V-Ray rendering tool, allowing artists to achieve immediate results upon completion. In addition to their standard a la carte course offerings, Planet Digital also offers a Certificate Program in 3D Animation and Effects, Games and Simulation, Modeling and Visualization, and Game Design, with eligible courses in either 3ds Max or Maya. Details and scheduling can be found on their website at http://training.planetdigital.com.
