render different siding colors workflow

[andreg]

Hi guys,

 

I have this client that want a few renders of the same building but with different siding colors (one render for each color). I know this is something easy to do by just replacing the maps but I was wondering if there is a trick to get this done faster than rendering each image? Would the render elements be used for something like this? Is there a quick tip that someone has and would be willing to share?

 

Hoping to get some feedback on this before I send them the quote.

 

 

Thanks

Make it all white, and just put an overlay layer with your fav color, or even just add a "color overlay" modifier to the layer. Would take you 2secs to change it then.

 

But, thats only if theres no light bouncing off it, you may need to do some speccy photoshop then.

you can use render elements to render out a selection mask to make it easier to select in photoshop to create the color overlay.
