Depth Tricks in 3ds Max + Corona
recently hosted a masterclass on adding depth to interiors using 3ds Max and Corona.
In this comprehensive workshop for beginners, you'll learn how to bring flat interiors to life using simple but powerful depth tricks in 3ds Max and Corona Renderer. The video walks you step-by-step through building an interior scene from scratch, starting with lighting strategy using HDRIs and large windows, and moving on to camera settings, general material setup, and composition techniques. Special attention is given to managing light sources and using material overrides, exposure, and vignetting to create a strong sense of depth and atmosphere in your renders.

What sets this tutorial apart is the clear explanation of practical methods like using falloff and sheen for fabrics, tweaking IOR for reflective surfaces, and even physically blocking light to regain shadow contrast. You’ll also learn how to fine-tune roughness and reflection maps, leverage multitexture and composite materials, and use displacement for believable surface detail—especially in carpets and soft furniture. Whether you're just starting out or looking to solidify your fundamentals, this video is packed with insights you can apply right away.
