Welcome to the Advanced School of V-Ray (ASV) — an internationally recognized training institute specializing in architectural visualization. As an official Chaos Academic Partner, we offer industry-standard education in V-Ray and Corona Renderer, combining technical precision with artistic excellence. Our courses are designed for aspiring 3D artists, architects, and interior designers who want to master photorealistic rendering techniques using cutting-edge tools like 3ds Max, V-Ray, and Corona. Join ASV to elevate your skills, earn globally respected certifications, and become part of a growing community of visualization professionals.
‘Advanced School of V-Ray’ or ASV (which is lovingly known to us and our student) began its journey in the year 2014 with the dream of its founder, Iraban Dutta, who has been recognized as a talented CG artist and a renowned V-Ray Licensed Trainers (VLT) in India. His work has won him fame and respect in his field. His motto was to build up a pool of new talents in the field of architectural visualization and inspire younger generations to build their careers in this sector.
But finding new brains was not an easy task and to make it even more arduous, online training videos and scripts which boasts of perfect render settings for picture-perfect outputs, provided an easy option for students trying to master the craft. Eventually these videos/scripts lead them no-where, resulting in increasing frustration and might stagnate one’s career.
“Professionally I believe there is no existence of so called perfect render settings!” says Iraban. “Photo-realistic render is your own basic skills, render settings cannot change your output. It totally depends on your material, light, camera setup & most important thing is know how to use V-ray in a logical sense.”
So to help out these students, to share their expertise on architectural visualization, to impart architectural knowledge to the students, which they needed to improve their portfolios and land their dream jobs.
In the year 2016, ASV became the 1st Chaos|Group Authorized Training and Certification Center in India and since then as our fame spread, training requests flooded in. Today it offers a range of courses to an array of students.
Chaos Certified Trainer | LUT Developer
Iraban Dutta is an official Chaos trainer, specializing in V-Ray and Corona Renderer. With years of experience in the CGI industry, he has become a trusted name for professional training, helping artists and studios achieve high-end visualization results. His in-depth knowledge and clear teaching style have guided hundreds of students and professionals in mastering photorealistic rendering techniques.
Alongside his training, Iraban is also the developer of industry-focused LUTs designed to enhance the look and feel of final renders. His latest LUT pack is now officially included in Chaos Corona Renderer, offering built-in, ready-to-use presets for faster and more consistent visual output. His contributions continue to empower the global rendering community with powerful tools and expert guidance.
My journey in the world of 3D visualization began back in 2005, marking the start of a lifelong passion for digital art and architectural rendering. In 2011, I was honored with an international award in computer graphics lighting, a moment that significantly shaped my career. Interestingly, I never initially planned to become a lighting artist — but once I began working with lighting, I found it surprisingly intuitive. Over time, I realized that lighting is a perfect blend of technical precision and emotional storytelling — a balance of calculation and atmosphere.
That same year, I was introduced to V-Ray, and it completely transformed my workflow. Unlike any tool I had used before, V-Ray’s rendering capabilities opened new doors for achieving photorealism in my work. I dedicated myself to mastering it, but like many artists, I faced challenges in bridging the gap between good renders and truly professional results. After much experimentation and consistent learning, I developed a unique V-Ray workflow — one that is simple, repeatable, and produces stunningly realistic outputs.
In 2013, I became a CG Certified V-Ray Artist through CG World, solidifying my technical expertise. To deepen my understanding further, I attended the renowned SOA Academy in Italy in 2015, and earned my official certification directly from Chaos Group (now Chaos), the creators of V-Ray.
Today, as a Chaos Certified V-Ray Trainer and Chaos Academic Partner, I share this knowledge with students and professionals worldwide — helping them achieve the quality of render output they’ve always dreamed of.
