Since not being able to travel I have been building a semi-permanent desk set-up. This video focuses on 3D artists, but I am sure video editors, animators and people from any area of design will find it helpful.<br /><br />The goal is to have a desk that I can take anywhere in the UK and pitch up, almost like a camp if you were on an expedition. ⛺ I want it to be as self-contained as possible without spending a ton of money. So here is how I got on.<br /><br />💻 TOOLS AND TECH: <br />FULL LIST: <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/jakedenham-luxuryvisuals" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/jakedenham-luxuryvisuals</a><br />BENQ WEBSITE: <a href="https://www.benq.eu/en-uk/lamps/computer-desklamp/screenbar-plus.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.benq.eu/en-uk/lamps/computer-desklamp/screenbar-plus.html</a><br />LIGHT BAR: <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/BenQ-ScreenBar-Reading-Auto-Dimming-Adjustment/dp/B07GGVNXSW" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.co.uk/BenQ-ScreenBar-Reading-Auto-Dimming-Adjustment/dp/B07GGVNXSW</a><br />20 CREDITS ON CHAOS CLOUD: <a href="https://pxlme.me/a-XJfGea" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://pxlme.me/a-XJfGea</a><br /><br />LATEST PROJECT (with Official V-Ray Certificate of Attendance): <a href="https://pxlme.me/vtNc7amS" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://pxlme.me/vtNc7amS</a><br />MY FREE ONLINE COURSES: <a href="https://pxlme.me/P5M6oyvU" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://pxlme.me/P5M6oyvU</a><br /><br />💾 Main Software // <a href="https://www.luxuryvisuals.com/resources" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.luxuryvisuals.com/resources</a><br />3ds Max <a href="https://pxlme.me/hQReM_2r" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://pxlme.me/hQReM_2r</a><br />V-Ray <a href="https://pxlme.me/wA3IkNh5" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://pxlme.me/wA3IkNh5</a><br />Photoshop <a href="https://pxlme.me/_Xg6sMGo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://pxlme.me/_Xg6sMGo</a><br /><br />Here is an Introduction to 3ds Max video <a href="https://youtu.be/zguZC4Fz7W0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/zguZC4Fz7W0</a><br />and here is a look at the latest version of V-Ray <a href="https://youtu.be/UBD7NlmIJwc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/UBD7NlmIJwc</a><br /><br />⛅ Rendering<br />I highly recommend using Chaos Cloud to render.
