Hi, I have to say that I have been thinking about taking RenderCamp for a long time, but I didn't have time for it. I also knew about it only from the free YouTube webinars and I didn't know everything in detail, but I felt that these guys know what they are doing. Now after completing the course I am wondering why it took me so long to decide.
This intensive training gave me a new way of thinking and workflow than the one I used before. Even though changing habits is difficult, you have to change something to do things differently (better). Basically, I am happy for it, because it taught me to focus on how to set up objects, light and shadows and create the general feeling of the image using references as early as possible, and that is the most important thing. You learn to focus on the creative work and leave the technical matters for the end and fine-tuning with AI. For me, this is something that no one has ever explained to me before and I am grateful for it. I am taking this new workflow with me into my profession and I believe that my clients will appreciate it too.
Thank you and maybe see you sometime in the future.
PS. Just one detail. For me personally, it would be better to have comments every day in the last week of the course and maybe only have three rounds in the first week. I think I would have finished the exterior on time.
First of all I would like to thank the render camp team and Daniel for this course and your support.
I came to the course with many years of experience behind me, but I knew that I was missing something. I have been subscribed to your YouTube channel since 2015 and have seen how you have grown and developed. So when the question of choosing a course arose, I already knew that I would go to you.
The only thing I was worried about was my knowledge of English. I don't know it very well yet, and the course is built in English. But when I started watching lessons and online classes, this fear went away, everything was clear to me.
One month passed unnoticed, but very informative.I can't lie that it was easy. Because combining work and study is always difficult, but I managed.
To be honest, I would have added a little more lessons to the materials block, especially fabrics. I watched the students work and saw that many stopped at fabrics and did not understand how to set them up correctly. Otherwise, everything is super, I liked it.
This was my first exterior visualization. Amazing experience, I enjoyed the process immensely. After taking the interior lessons, I assembled this scene twice as fast
If you, like me, were afraid of doing the exterior, then I advise you to come to the render camp courses, where they will explain and help you create the best exterior work
Thanks to Daniel and the render camp team for their help and support
After a month of work together, now I have the opportunity for some feedback :)
TL:DR - the Course is for people who are both professionals *and* who know just the basics. I feel that it can be a quick learning experience for people who just started on their professional path. Then, it can be a opportunity to test different systems of work for already much experienced artist. Daniel is a good teacher, focusing on getting his message through.
The system - on one hand blocking different Blocks from access during the course does not allow me to rewatch them as I please, and sometimes I really wanted to know them already in my professional work. On the other hand I know it is a good system, because it blocks people from rushing way ahead.
The classes - in the end I think it is a very good way of presenting. Working on students files gives a real sense of progression and of "I can do it, too". Although biggest, and serious minus, is that we do not get to see more possible scenarios ( in PV14 case - night exterior, aerial ) in a live class - I think it is a real shame and a big drawback. I have never had a problem understanding what Daniel means or wants to convey. Then again, I have to note - my way of asking was "there are no stupid questions, so ask everything", but I sure did feel sometimes as if I asked something really stupid ;)
If I were to make a suggestion, (I hope its not too complicated) - I would experiment with having 3-4 people working simultaneously on their files, while sharing their screens and Daniel commenting (with editing access) between them. The viewers would only see the screen Daniel is currently commenting on, following him. It then creates a sense of a real class where the teacher walks between students in a classroom. And, also, I would make only 1-3 of such events, as the current workflow is much better for uses in the future when someone wants to come back to the videos.
Also, longer descriptions of classes and troubleshooting on the website panel.
The Discord - I commend all the admins for always answering all of questions and addressing all problems almost immediately. From just this PV14 Course point, I would try "activating" more people to participate and voice their problems or ideas. I tried my hardest, but I bet there were still a lot of good questions that were not asked.
Another thing is, I do see quite a large amount of support dedicated to AI use, but in the end we stopped at Magnific. I count myself lucky having participated in the render.camp AI course, but others might find this area lacking. I think PS plugins like stableart in tandem with magnific are bread and butter of postproduction nowadays.
In the end I feel I learned the GA system, mastering it will take me ages though. I do think that I will make better images now and time will show if I manage to truly put it into my work. I can say without a doubt that with open mind this course is really worth it's money. AND if that I might return next year. I extend thanks to the render.camp Team and Daniel for their time and effort.
I completed a professional visualization course with Daniel, and it left a very positive impression on me. I enrolled with the goal of improving my skills, but honestly? I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. I wanted growth, I wanted confidence.
One of the biggest advantages of this course is that Daniel is a true professional. He doesn’t just show how to do things but helps you understand why one approach works better than another. This is not the kind of course where you’re left alone with pre-recorded lectures. He carefully reviews assignments, provides detailed feedback, and highlights nuances I hadn’t even considered before. I was surprised by how many details I had previously overlooked!
However, there are a few nuances. The pace of the lessons was sometimes quite fast, and the amount of information was overwhelming at times. It might have been helpful to extend the course slightly. I occasionally found myself struggling to keep up and had to rewatch the recorded sessions to fully grasp everything. Fortunately, all lessons remain accessible, allowing you to revisit them whenever needed.
I also want to highlight Daniel and his team’s approach. Due to technical issues, I couldn’t finish my work strictly on time. But they saw my progress and effort and kindly gave me a bit of extra time—something I truly appreciate!
It’s important to note that this course requires full commitment. If you want to truly improve your skills, you should be prepared to dedicate as much time as possible. Personally, I sometimes found it challenging to balance the course with my regular workload. But in the end, it was absolutely worth it.
Overall, the course provided me with valuable tools, expanded my understanding of visualization, and I’m really glad I took it (and will continue, as there’s still so much to learn!). If you’re ready for an intensive learning experience and want to dive deep into the nuances of professional visualization, this course is definitely worth it.
If I had to describe this course in one word, it would be Transformative.My only regret is not doing it sooner!
The Professional Render Camp course completely changed my approach to visualization, reshaping the way I build and perceive an image. I finally understood the importance of the hierarchy of steps and how light, shadows, and colors interact to create realism and emotion.
Now, I look at my work with a deep sense of pride – an incredible feeling I had been looking forward to!
I will definitely take this course again in the future because it has been extremely valuable, and I know I still have a lot to improve and refine. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to take their skills to the next level. And in the end, I want to say a huge thamk you to the Render.camp team for making me simply happy!
