The List of Youtube Channels For 3ds Max Tutorials

When you start learning 3ds Max or want to improve your skills, You should practice and work orderly.

During the learning process, you can repeat and follow what they do in the youtube tutorials. If you are new to Max, you can start modelling with the basic furniture such as chairs, tables, bookcases, coffee tables. It helps you to understand major commands and actually, you build basic information of 3ds Max.

In my learning process, I watched so many youtube videos which improve my 3ds max skills. Thus, I prepared a list of Youtube channels which also can improve your modeling and rendering skills in Max.

Denis Keman 

This channel mostly focuses on modeling. Duration of videos are long but it really teaches a lot. If you are new to the program, this channel could be a difficult start point so I recommend people who are more qualified in Max can start.

Cemil Albayrak

There are good examples of interior scenes in these channels. It is easy and teaches a lot. If you are new to the program, it helps you to learn basic information.

Can Kuskon 3D Stüdyo

There are both modeling and Vray tutorials. It is easy and useful.

Oner Oncer 

This channel majorly focuses on rendering. Vray, Corona, Lumion 9 are the programs which there are lots of tutorials on the channel.

Artem Gogolov

This youtube channel focuses on the types of furniture. It is a bit challenging but you should check it out.

Photo Bots

If you are interested in modeling games, this is a good channel for you.

TAstudio3d

This is a great channel which has amazing projects. But It is hard to follow the videos because It is too fast yet still you should look at it.

3DOkulu.com Animasyon Ve Tasarım Okulu

This is a good and informative channel. The language of the channel is Turkish but it is not a big deal. You just should follow the steps and do not need to listen to the videos.

GFX Total

It is a modeling channel, You can even model a blad or knife.

MAT RENDER

This channel is about preparing a Vray material. Such as gold, mirror, glass etc. It is easy and short videos so you can prepare your material easily.

How to Get the Most From YouTube 3ds Max Tutorials

Watching tutorials is only useful if you follow along inside the software at the same time. Keep 3ds Max open on one side of your screen and the video on the other, then pause often and recreate each step yourself. Passive watching feels productive but rarely builds lasting skill. The goal is to train your hands to find tools quickly, not just to recognise them when someone else clicks.

It also helps to rebuild a finished scene from memory a day or two later. If you can model a chair or set up a simple Vray material without looking at the video, the knowledge has genuinely stuck. This kind of spaced repetition is far more effective than binge-watching ten tutorials in one sitting.

Choosing Channels That Match Your Level

The channels above range from beginner friendly to advanced, so pick according to where you are now. If you are just starting, begin with slower interior modelling tutorials that explain each command, and avoid fast-paced timelapse videos until you understand the basics. Once you are comfortable with modifiers, splines, and editable poly tools, the quicker professional channels become valuable because they show realistic production workflows rather than isolated exercises.

Do not worry if a channel is in another language. Modelling and rendering are highly visual, so you can usually follow the on-screen actions even without understanding the narration. Many learners successfully study Turkish or Russian tutorials simply by watching the cursor and matching the steps.

A Suggested Learning Order

A sensible path is to learn the interface and navigation first, then basic primitive and spline modelling, followed by editable poly techniques for furniture and detailed objects. After that, move on to materials and texturing, then lighting, and finally rendering with engines such as Vray or Corona. Leaving rendering until you can model confidently prevents the common frustration of trying to light a scene before you can build one.

Building a Portfolio While You Learn

Treat each tutorial as a chance to produce a portfolio piece rather than throwaway practice. Save your best interior scenes, experiment with your own camera angles and lighting, and render a clean final image. Over a few months these saved projects become real evidence of your progress. When you eventually apply for studio work or freelance jobs, a small collection of polished renders speaks louder than a list of the courses you watched.

Common Beginner Mistakes to Avoid

Two habits slow most beginners down. The first is jumping straight to photorealistic rendering before the model itself is clean, which leads to messy geometry and disappointing results. The second is hoarding tutorials without finishing any of them. It is far better to complete three projects from start to render than to half-watch thirty videos. Focus on finishing, and your skills will improve much faster.
