0:00:00.000,0:00:03.810
you know what is happening ladies and

0:00:01.530,0:00:05.790
gentlemen this is men from architecture

0:00:03.810,0:00:06.660
inspirations and the previous videos in

0:00:05.790,0:00:08.220
this series

0:00:06.660,0:00:10.500
you've seen me transferring a rabbit

0:00:08.220,0:00:13.710
model to sketchup then apply materials

0:00:10.500,0:00:15.630
and finally render it with vray today

0:00:13.710,0:00:18.000
I'm going to show you a breakdown of my

0:00:15.630,0:00:21.410
post production process in Photoshop

0:00:18.000,0:00:21.410
let's get started

0:00:24.560,0:00:30.029
number one import render files

0:00:28.170,0:00:32.279
the first thing I do is open photoshop

0:00:30.029,0:00:34.829
and import my files that I've saved

0:00:32.279,0:00:37.380
after the rendering this include the vp

0:00:34.829,0:00:40.590
channels and most importantly the render

0:00:37.380,0:00:42.059
that were used as the base image the vfp

0:00:40.590,0:00:44.280
channels can be anything that you've

0:00:42.059,0:00:46.289
chosen to export prior to your rendering

0:00:44.280,0:00:48.809
the most useful one for me is the

0:00:46.289,0:00:49.920
material ID which I have mentioned in

0:00:48.809,0:00:51.809
the last video

0:00:49.920,0:00:54.480
sometimes I also like to explore other

0:00:51.809,0:00:56.640
channels like the z-depth reflection and

0:00:54.480,0:00:58.949
refraction channels after importing the

0:00:56.640,0:01:01.230
render files as different layers only

0:00:58.949,0:01:03.629
leave the base image on and turn all of

0:01:01.230,0:01:04.949
the other vp channels off and save them

0:01:03.629,0:01:07.590
for later

0:01:04.949,0:01:09.570
number two adding the background there

0:01:07.590,0:01:12.210
are essentially two parts that make up

0:01:09.570,0:01:13.830
the background first is the sky and

0:01:12.210,0:01:16.770
second is the surrounding buildings

0:01:13.830,0:01:19.049
adding a sky to your rendering is one of

0:01:16.770,0:01:21.210
the easiest thing to do in Photoshop but

0:01:19.049,0:01:23.580
advise you not to overlook this part

0:01:21.210,0:01:25.320
because the sky really sets the mood for

0:01:23.580,0:01:27.450
the whole image if you want to know some

0:01:25.320,0:01:28.110
tips on choosing a perfect sky for your

0:01:27.450,0:01:30.299
image

0:01:28.110,0:01:31.890
Alex her craft wrote an amazing post on

0:01:30.299,0:01:33.420
his topic i'll put the link in the

0:01:31.890,0:01:35.340
description box below so you can learn

0:01:33.420,0:01:36.960
it from the master himself the second

0:01:35.340,0:01:39.030
part of the background is the

0:01:36.960,0:01:40.860
surrounding buildings which is just as

0:01:39.030,0:01:42.960
important because this will show the

0:01:40.860,0:01:45.930
context of the site without it the

0:01:42.960,0:01:48.780
viewer question well for the foxes place

0:01:45.930,0:01:52.170
is it on an island or is it is floating

0:01:48.780,0:01:54.600
in space adding background buildings is

0:01:52.170,0:01:56.939
necessary if you have empty spaces in

0:01:54.600,0:01:58.320
your rendering like I do in this one I

0:01:56.939,0:02:00.180
think model anything there because

0:01:58.320,0:02:02.189
sometimes it's just easier to add

0:02:00.180,0:02:03.930
surrounding buildings later in Photoshop

0:02:02.189,0:02:05.640
i usually don't spend a ton of town on

0:02:03.930,0:02:07.799
this it doesn't need to be perfect

0:02:05.640,0:02:09.869
because it's such a small part of the

0:02:07.799,0:02:12.360
image that most people don't even notice

0:02:09.869,0:02:13.319
the flaws number three texturing the

0:02:12.360,0:02:15.209
ground plane

0:02:13.319,0:02:18.450
the ground plan consists of well

0:02:15.209,0:02:20.519
anything that's on the ground like the

0:02:18.450,0:02:22.620
grass or additional texture that makes

0:02:20.519,0:02:24.989
your rendering looks more realistic such

0:02:22.620,0:02:26.879
as these textures that overlay on top of

0:02:24.989,0:02:28.920
the roads and curves number for

0:02:26.879,0:02:31.530
populating your image with entourage

0:02:28.920,0:02:33.629
adding trees cars and people to your

0:02:31.530,0:02:35.489
image is really important because it

0:02:33.629,0:02:36.359
really make the scenery more lively and

0:02:35.489,0:02:37.500
exciting

0:02:36.359,0:02:39.599
there are two ways to add these

0:02:37.500,0:02:41.250
ontological your rendering one is by

0:02:39.599,0:02:44.249
using 3d components of them in your

0:02:41.250,0:02:46.739
model and render it all together to its

0:02:44.249,0:02:48.870
to UT cutouts later in photoshop you can

0:02:46.739,0:02:50.669
always use a combination of both like

0:02:48.870,0:02:53.370
for this rendering here i found that

0:02:50.669,0:02:55.500
using three models of the cars and 2d

0:02:53.370,0:02:56.430
cutouts of the people and trees work

0:02:55.500,0:02:59.129
best for me

0:02:56.430,0:03:01.319
number five using Photoshop effects to

0:02:59.129,0:03:03.359
enhance your image now that you've got

0:03:01.319,0:03:05.099
the hard stuff out of the way it's not

0:03:03.359,0:03:07.650
to have some fun and add some sweet

0:03:05.099,0:03:11.669
effects of your image like fault have to

0:03:07.650,0:03:12.900
feel no ship motion blur blur fake lens

0:03:11.669,0:03:14.519
flare you name it

0:03:12.900,0:03:18.329
just add whatever feels right for you

0:03:14.519,0:03:20.340
number 6 final edits using plugins now

0:03:18.329,0:03:21.419
that your images complete finish it off

0:03:20.340,0:03:23.280
using plugins

0:03:21.419,0:03:25.500
google has an amazing plugin for

0:03:23.280,0:03:27.720
photoshop called google nik collection

0:03:25.500,0:03:30.389
used to cost money but now is completely

0:03:27.720,0:03:32.639
free so grab it while you can and use it

0:03:30.389,0:03:33.900
