Rod Cleasby	3DS Max: Visualisation	discover the truth ...
		Overview: Many pieces come together to make a whole visualisation. We look at rendering for high res images to go into publication. This includes special rendering “beauty” passes, ambient occlusion, sunlight or daylight and selecting props to enhance the composition. The training lasts two days with an optional third day to focus on compositing layers in PhotoShop for final visual excellence. Location: Your offices or London or Oxfordshire. You can save money by having the training at your own location, or we can arrange it here or in London. The idea is to provide the best service for you. If you have the software already loaded onto your laptop, then use your own machine.
	Intermediate: Visualisation for Designers 2 days + 1 optional This art is now a cornerstone of many designers’ commercial output. As the competition gets better, we need to as well. Communicating our ideas and concepts has always been central to the designers function. We need to step up or get out.	Course content: Cameras: We look at setting up the right shot, safe frames and quick renders. Output resolution: Getting the right size for the printer or publisher will determine how your visual looks to the customer in print. PhotoShop: Using an extra tool to fine tune all your hard work. There is nothing more important. You can’t go anywhere if your car doesn’t have wheels. Lights: Make the decision from an informed pov. Or even use two different styles. Materials: When it matters, use the right tool. We look at getting your standards right, for now and for the future. FinalGather: We discuss when to FG and when to draft. This awareness will give you more time to focus on the important stuff. Global Illumination: Its like a kiss, sometimes its appropriate and sometimes ... we look at its benefits. Beauty Passes: Once thought of as “cheating” now sits as the “must do” element of 3D visuals. A bit like airbrushing the front cover model, but more acceptable. Composition: You need to know the rules, so let’s discuss them and see what difference it makes.	Location. The great advantage of one to one training is that training can be at either your location or ours. We can travel to anywhere in Europe for your convenience, arrange training rooms in London or you can come here to CUK in Oxfordshire. Your choice.
