    By the end of the 3ds Max User course I was able to upgrade my interior design workflow from ACAD and SU to 3ds Max with confidence. The course gave me the right foundations to keep learning on my own. Highly recommended.

The course shall follow a highly practical approach, whereby students shall be creating their first models directly within the first lesson. Course shall follow the standard 3D creation process, which can be broken down into the modeling, animating, material and lighting phases. We shall also be addressing specific issues related to mental ray rendering, an advanced rendering engine which is included with 3ds Max and offers realistic renders whilst being user friendly. Basics of modeling shall then be developed further through more detailed examples, and a separate chapter on rigging of models shall be delivered. Materials shall be supplemented with UV texturing techniques commonly used in film and game development. Finally, we shall also discuss particle systems and how these can be applied to good effect.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the 3ds Max User Course. Can’t find your answer? Speak to an advisor.

  • In the ideal scenario students should have a computer setup with two screens, one where you can follow the lesson from (which can even be your mobile) and your main screen which you will use for practical learning. This will guarantee that your learning experience is really powerful.

  • Yes, we accept international students. However, some courses are license-restricted to residents of the Maltese Islands. Most of our courses are delivered online live, but if you wish to enroll in an on-campus course, you are responsible for obtaining a Student Visa.

  • The collection of MySuccess study programmes together with Google, Adobe, Cisco, Microsoft, LPI, Autodesk, IAPP & Digital Marketing Institute certifications are worldwide recognised certifications.
