3ds Max Architecture: Model, Texture & Light

Build end-to-end architectural visualization skills in Autodesk 3ds Max by modeling, texturing, and lighting realistic interior scenes. You’ll begin by creating detailed TV units, wall panels, tables, lamps, floors, and cloth objects using Editable Poly tools, edge constraints, symmetry, chamfering, primitives, Shell, and TurboSmooth. Next, you’ll apply UVW mapping, texture unwrapping, Multi/Sub-Object materials, and PBR texturing workflows to floors, bedding, panels, dining furniture, sofas, and lamps. You’ll work with wood and fabric finishes, gloss controls, real-world scale mapping, translucency, seamless textures, and consistent texel density. You’ll also align kitchen and wall materials, correct corner UV distortions, and create realistic glass using refraction and Fresnel reflections. Finally, you’ll configure skylight, global illumination, photometric lighting, and inverse square decay to produce physically accurate, photorealistic interior renders. Designed for beginners entering the 3D industry and intermediate learners refining their skills, this project-based course connects furniture modeling, professional texturing, and advanced lighting in one structured workflow. Enroll to build accurate interior assets and develop complete, portfolio-ready scenes with realistic materials and illumination.
