One of the most frequent questions I get in emails is for recommendations about courses or tutorials on V-Ray and, in particular, shading and material creations.
I don’t follow tutorials that often these days and time to stroll through forums is getting scarce. But if there is one course I would recommend right now, it is Grant Warwick’s mastering V-Ray series. I bought a subscription after seeing the endorsement by Peter Guthrie (in one of the courses, Grant optimises a tough scene by Peter and gets it to render 25 per cent faster).
If you’ve mastered the basics of V-Ray, are interested in photorealism, and are struggling to take it to the next level, I would highly recommend you take a look at the series (in addition to keeping an eye on the BBB3 blog, of course). Unlike many similar offerings around, it is densely packed, fast-paced, fluent, clear and clever.
(NOTE: It goes without saying that this is an independent post. I got no discount for posting this and have no commercial relationship with Grant. I’m just a regular paying subscriber of his and enjoying the course a lot.)
Thank you for suggesting that the best V-Ray online training tutorials right now are on Grant Warwick’s Mastering V-Ray Series. Uncle Charles would definitely appreciate you mentioning that this site has been endorsed by no less than Peter Guthrie, although at an affordable subscription fee. This V-Ray training should help Uncle Charles master the art of photorealism when he does the animation sequences for the online video portfolio he plans to submit to the Berlinale.
I tend to use most of his material settings. Not the rendering settings.
Hi Bertrand,
Are you using Grant method for Vray settings for renderings in your workflow?
Amazing. Watched the free ones and I’m highly considering a subscription also. Very precious.
