3ds Max
Straightforward and easy to follow.
No sé por qué da un curso de un modelo en el cual no te va a enseñar a hacerlo desde 0 ni te otorga los recursos necesarios diciendo que "son propiedad de terceros y no podemos pasarlos" en todo caso que enseñe a ambientar la escena poco a poco, así mantiene la calidad de contenido y nos ayuda a aprender mejor, la verdad fue una perdida de tiempo y dinero el "curso"
очень доступный и хороший курс
To jest bardzo dobrze przygotowany kurs. Niezbędna wiedza by zacząć przygodę z Corona Render. Polecam.
Es muy bueno, la calidad de mis trabajos es mejor, lo recomiendo mucho
