V-Ray for 3ds Max training adapted to the actual level

45-question technical assessment drawn from a 72-question bank to place a learner in V-Ray for 3ds Max and recommend the most useful training modules.

V-Ray for 3ds Max diagnostic: knowledge, workflow habits and training priorities.

Approach

Build the path around observed needs

The free assessment helps separate concepts already mastered from those that deserve training. The final path can then be adjusted to the organization’s tasks, context and objectives.

The diagnostic is not an official certification. It is used to guide training decisions.

Intended audience

3D rendering artist

Employees and professionals.
Managers and HR teams.
Training coordinators.
Groups to be organized by skill level.
