Introduction to Architectural 3Ds Max Software Course

3Ds Max training is considered the first step of a successful career today because almost every workplace requires good 3Ds Max knowledge from candidates. 3Ds Max allows for maximum customization in its interface. So it is possible to arrange 3Ds Max precisely according to what you need. A program with many tools and also has such a free workspace is hardly find feature.

3Ds Max reveals very high-quality work at the rendering stage. Working with the V-ray, 3Ds Max is one of the best in the world in rendering. 

The 3Ds Max program is a critical and essential modeling program in architecture and interior design education. It is preferred among modeling programs because it is easy to create shapes with different features; It is a suitable program for modeling “curve” surfaces.

When you learn the 3Ds Max program, you will easily make 3D models of your projects.

3DS Max program, with its V-ray plug-in, is a beneficial program for making high-quality and detailed models and rendering this model with its materials for visualization and rendering. You do not need different rendering programs in this program. It is also used for quickly produced models on plans, sections, and views transferred from the programs for 2D drawing used in architectural offices. It is possible to create two-dimensional drawings within the program itself. It is compatible with most programs in the industry. You will also need it throughout your university life and this will be at the top of the skills you will add to your portfolio in your business life. 3DS Max program is used in most of the architecture and interior design offices around the world.

You will learn 3DS Max by drawing the plans, sections, views, models, and surroundings of a project, and you will produce a project for your portfolio. You will also complete the course with learning and using the program in the best way for architectural education in BackStudio Milan.

Project 1: House Project (with its topography, environment)
Project 2: Suggestion from the tutor (project design ideas inspired by the famous architects’ buildings)
Project 3: Improving the students` existing projects.
Project 4: According to the student’s interest (from some resources such as archdaily and divisare)

It is not enough for a designer/architect to learn only the features of software programs. The important thing is to have the ability to apply it in the projects it draws. Using these programs quickly, saving time, and gaining the skills to present your project is essential. We offer project activity in all our courses, so when you complete your training, we make sure that you can use this program in your future projects without needing any help again.

Learning the 3DS Max program by drawing the plans, sections, views, model, and environment of a house project you have chosen allows you to use this program in architecture and interior design much more effectively. Instead of learning the 3DS Max program as a technical drawing course, we aim to teach you more qualified and useful tools, shortcuts, and tricks in your school or business life. We provide this training with our qualified architect/designer instructors working in our organization by contributing to your architectural life.

High school students who are planning to study architecture or interior design
Undergraduate students who are currently studying architecture or interior design
Architecture/ interior design students who need a new project for their portfolio
Anyone with a personal interest in 3DS Max.
