Online Videos - Create Onyx Trees, V-Ray Proxy, and Building 3D Walls

The 3DAS Visualization Insiders are now complete. You can view our 1-hour long webinar videos for free. The 3D architectural visualization videos are:

Week 24 - Creating Onyx trees
This webinar demonstrates the use of the Onxy Storm plugin that runs within 3ds Max, as well as the very powerful line of tree and plant generators that feed this plugin. Here you will learn how to craft vegetation, apply realistic materials and animate your creations to suit your project needs.


Week 25 - An In-Depth Look at the V-Ray Proxy
This webinar provides an in-depth look at this incredibly powerful feature that many 3ds Max users would now say they simply couldn't work without. During the discussion, you will learn the difference between static and dynamic geometry, you will see the best ways to quickly generate and manipulate proxies, you will be shown how to control the memory consumption of proxies, and you will learn how to alter materials placed on a proxy. All objects and are not created equal, and proxies are no exception!

Week 26 - The Many Ways of Building Walls
One of the most commonly asked questions between fellow 3D visualization artists is, "How do you create your walls in 3D?" The question is bound to be answered a number of different ways depending on who you ask and their experience level, but the question is so important to so many of us because walls are usually the first part of a building that we create and arguably the most important.
