3D & Animation
V-Ray (VeeRay)
V-Ray is the rendering engine that makes 3D scenes look truly real. This focused course teaches you V-Ray's lighting, materials, cameras and render settings, so you can produce photorealistic output from your models. It's an essential skill that elevates any 3D or architectural visualisation work.

What this course is about
V-Ray training develops controlled realistic rendering from a 3D scene. You explore camera composition, materials, texture mapping, lights, exposure, colour management, reflections, refraction, global illumination, noise and render settings. Lessons connect each concept to a simple interior or product scene with daylight, artificial light, camera tests and material review, so the teacher can explain not only which tool or method to use but also why it matters. This V-Ray pathway gives that point a course-specific practice focus, reference 242-22.
Practical work centres on a fully lit interior or product scene with materials, camera, render tests, denoising decisions and final image. You practise test renders, texture paths, scene organisation, proxies or instancing and quality-time balance, then review the result with your teacher and correct the reasoning behind it. Examples can be adapted for architecture students, interior designers, 3D artists and product designers, with attention to documentation, troubleshooting and responsible use of the relevant software or information. This V-Ray pathway gives that point a course-specific practice focus, reference 242-22.
This course builds presentation-ready visualisation and rendering workflow through guided tasks and revision. It prepares learners for visualisation work; chaos licences, host applications, assets and credentials are separate. This V-Ray pathway gives that point a course-specific practice focus, reference 242-22. This V-Ray pathway gives that point a course-specific practice focus, reference 242-22. Lighting, materials and render settings are checked against the scene goal.

Before you enrol
Basic 3D modelling and familiarity with a host application are useful, but the teacher can start with rendering fundamentals. This V-Ray pathway addresses that point through guided practice, reference 242-22.
Use a capable computer, supported host application and correct V-Ray edition, with valid licences arranged separately. This V-Ray pathway addresses that point through guided practice, reference 242-22.
