3D and 2D graphics training

Having developed a broad professional experience through the years, and being the first Dutch member of the Autodesk 3ds Max alpha/beta testers team (since 2001), it was an appropriate initiative for Metin Seven to share his knowledge with those who are interested.

During the training Metin answers questions and shares his knowledge while the trainee comfortably listens, watches and makes notes for reference. In case of two trainees at once there's a 40 percent discount for the second trainee.

The training duration can vary from an afternoon (13:00 - 17:00) to a number of afternoons and takes place at Sevensheaven in Bussum (Noord-Holland), but a training on location within the Dutch Randstad area is also possible if desired.

The material created during a training is included, and if desired a signed formal document will be provided as proof of the followed training.

Metin lectures about advanced usage of the V-Ray 3D renderer at a CG event.

Metin's expertise is mainly related to the following software:

3ds Max (Autodesk)

• General: interface, settings, modeling, modifiers, animation, materials, lighting, rendering, working with plug-ins and MaxScripts, solutions and general knowledge.
• Organic modeling: creation of 3D characters and other models with curved and seamlessly branching shapes.
• Industrial modeling and visualization: 3D modeling and exporting for rapid prototyping, photorealistic visualization with the help of plug-in renderers.
• Animation: working with keyframes, controllers, parameter wiring, expressions, fly-throughs, flying logos, character animation, physics animation, special effects animation using particles and space warps, etcetera.
• Project-based: training based on a specific project from the client.

V-Ray renderer (Chaos Group)

• General: lighting, materials, settings, optimization, solutions, animation and general knowledge.
• Photorealistic visualisation: setup of a virtual studio, interior lighting, exterior lighting using VRaySun and VRaySky, global illumination methods, lighting and reflections using High Dynamic Range images, realistic materials, VrayPhysicalCamera and render optimization.
• Project-based: training based on a specific project from the client.

Maxwell renderer (Next Limit)

• General: lighting, materials, settings, optimization, basic photographic knowledge, animation, solutions and general knowledge.
• Photorealistic visualisation: setup of a virtual studio, lighting and reflections using High Dynamic Range images, realistic materials, camera settings (F-Stop, shutterspeed, lenzen en Depth Of Field), physical sky + sun, render optimization.
• Project-based: training based on a specific project from the client.

Photoshop (Adobe)

• General: working with tools, selections, layers, layer masks, layer styles, layer blending modes, image adjustments, filters, actions, etcetera.
• Image editing: seamlessly blending images into other images, isolating image parts, color adjustments, etcetera.
• Retouching: adjusting and beautifying photos and images, invisibly removing undesired details, color corrections, etcetera.
• Image creation: using paint tools, brushes, vector tools and type tools.
• Project-based: training based on a specific project from the client.
