How to create window effect ?

[redzuan3828]

Hai Guy

 

I want to create effect for my window using photoshop cause I want to render faster.

 

So I decide to render 2 times using Batch render and the file is png. One for final image and the other for Window.

here I attach the file.

After that I use photoshop to get effect.... But How? I'm stuck here

 

I saw somebody do it ?

 

Can somebody Explain to me?

 

Thanks

i think you want to add a white colour... put it in the luminance channel... and apply that to the complete model with the exception of the glazing... then add a black colour with no specular to the glass... render it out and bring it into photoshop.... in photoshop go to select... colour selection... then

click on the black... thats your glass selected... then add whatever effect you like... I hope that answers your question!

What about isolating all of the glass and rendering it alone, saving as .tiff with the alpha channel and importing that into Photoshop to use as selection?

I think the two rendering passes you already have created are perfectly fine to isolate the windows in Photoshop and add a "window effect". Here's what I did with your two images:

 

1. Paste the two images into one Photoshop file.

2. Use the eyedropper tool to select the blue color on the windows.

3. Go to Select>Color Range to select the window areas.

4. Delete that layer with the rendering with the blue windows.

5. Find a nice sky photo and paste it into the selection you just created. Edit>Paste Into

6. Then scale it until it just fills all of your windows. Edit>Free Transform.

7. In my example, I changed the sky's layer blending mode to "Hard Light", but you can play with other blending modes to get the effect you're looking for.

8. I also added the same sky to the background.

 

Here is how mine turned out:
