Pretty good; I personally didn't care AT ALL about the rendering... which is what he spent a lot of time talking about. I was hoping to see more things and types of things animated.

This course is fascinating and highly beneficial for understanding the use of other 3D modeling software. While I primarily use Blender, expanding my skills to include 3ds Max has proven to be incredibly valuable, especially for aligning with market standards. This is particularly true for professionals specializing in architectural visualization, where 3ds Max is a leading tool.

The instructor was excellent, providing clear explanations and a well-structured program. Teaching style made complex concepts easier to grasp, ensuring a smooth learning experience. Overall, I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to broaden their 3D modeling expertise.

I really enjoyed doing this course Adam makes learning 3ds Max a breeze, but I also think that due to my experience using Blender I was able to understand everything in this course, navigating the 3DS Max interface has been a lot of fun I can confidently say that I am proficient in using 3DS Max and have come to enjoy using the software.

Now that I have finished this course I am going to start doing the other courses and create my own projects as well with 3DS Max. I would highly recommend anyone who is interested in archviz to start here and work your way through the rest of Adam's course they are worth it.
