Master the art of creating portfolio ready renders

Whether you followed the mech tutorial all the way or just want to learn how to make amazing renders, this 40 minute long course is all about doing exactly that.

We start the tutorial by taking a quick look into 3Ds Max and Substance Painter to get our models and textures exported right and then jump straight in to Marmoset Toolbag 3 - available here on Steam. We will then cover how to set up our materials followed by tweaking the render and cameras settings.
Learn how to use Global Illumination to our advantage to add even more realism to our render scene.

Learn about the different kinds of HDRI sky's within Marmoset Toolbag 3 and how to add skylights to them to make our scene shine.
After that we take a look at setting up turntables and how to clone existing cameras to get a nice close up render.
