Avançado – Soon
The advanced module will feature scenes from modeling (architecture and furniture) to post production.
All knowledge for photorealism (including advanced) is already in the basic and intermediate course.
Understand that the advanced module will be the full-scene application of EVERYTHING that has ALREADY been taught in basic and intermadiate modules.
Excellent course
One of the best, if not THE BEST corona course that I’ve seen. All the lessons are clearly explained. If you speak spanish subtitles are not even needed.
All lessons come with a neat syllabus to find any topic you may need to reinforce. The support as well is top. Thi answers any questions you may have and delivers an on point feedback.
Totally recommended.
Excellent!!!!
Amazing Knowledge
Thanks to Thilima for this amazing course of Corona render. Everything was explained in a super detailed and practical way. You are a conscientious teacher Thilima! I am happy since make a good decision to participate in this course.
SImply amazing course!
This course here is to date the most thorough dive into Corona Render and all of its features. Furthermore it covers so many subjects that are universal across render engines.
It would be nice with english voice over but after hours training you get used to having subtitles to understand the Portuguese language. But I can strongly recommend this to all people who wants to become master of Corona and rendering in general.
