/3/ - 3DCG

Hello I'm begginer-intermediate 3d modeller-architect. Pic related is my current level, i know, it's not too great, but also it took me a lot of time to get these images.

I work mainly with 3d max and vray. Sometimes applying photoshop.

I was wondering if there was any good guide on how to streamline the work with these programs in order to be able to quickly make architectural images by following a series of determined steps rather than a trillion hours of test and error.

I was hoping for a guide that includes which renders settings, how to test lights, when to include models, textures, etc...

Thanks in advance for any answer, ill be bumping with pictures of the shit i made.
