danb4026 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Have you actually used any of these tutorials and can vouch for the quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neko Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 yes - i posted that at 5:30am, so i wasn't all that keen on thinking at the time (i also had a cat on my lap which makes it hard to type). i bought one of scott CD's a few years ago, and i found it a good all round tutorial for image adjustment and also how to better use photoshop and MAX together. i'm sure the CS3 version would be comparable.

danb4026 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I went to the site and in looking at the example images for the tuts, I am not impressed with the quality. You would think he would show great looking images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neko Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 (edited) i wouldn't totally disagree with you there, but the concepts are fairly good even if the work is less polished and professional. i wouldn't say it is for advanced users - more intermediate. edit: actually they are much better than a few years ago Edited May 19, 2009 by neko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlovsky Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 All right, i'll check those tutorials from scott onstott thanks a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danb4026 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 These are the types of images I want to create in Photoshop. I am sure the technique is similar to the tutorials, but the quality is much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neko Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 i'll argue to the death that illustrator is better suited to that kind of work (except for CS3 which inexplicably dropped the option NOT TO MERGE AUTOCAD LAYERS !!!!) i understand that CS4 has restored this very important feature.

danb4026 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I have illustrator, but have never used it for that kind of work. I also have PS CS4. I would love to see how illustrator could be better suited for that...any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neko Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 dan. give me a day or so to compose myself (i'm just finishing the school year - exams/projects to mark). i'd love to start a good discussion on the use of illustrator for architecture (plans/elevations) instead of photoshop. to the best of my knowledge you won't find any tutorials/books on the subject. i have done loads of work similar to what you have shown, and i still teach it to my students (autodesk impression is also an option). anyways - don't want to hijack the thread.

danb4026 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Paul, that sounds great! Sometimes a client simply wants a nice looking plan or elevation and, to that end, Max is just not the way to go to. I can see illustrator being a great tool because of it's vector based graphics, but have yet to see it used for this purpose. I would love to see a thread started that deals with this and it sounds like you might just be the guy to get it going. Good luck with the exams.

cadmunkey Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 ..autodesk impression is also an option.... Another vote for Impressions, makes elevations exactly like the examples you have shown and extremely quickly once you learn the very simple interface.

danb4026 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Are there any quality tutorials for using Impressions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadmunkey Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Daniel, the short tutorials that come with Impressions are more than enough to send you on your way producing good elevations quickly. Like I said, it is a very simple program to use. There are also a couple of forums out there that you can sign up for, I think one is run by Autodesk. In fact a quick browse on Google found this: http://impression.autodesk.com/www.autodesk.com/impression/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danb4026 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 What about M-Color? I have a friend that worked for a firm that used M Color for their plans and elevations. Has anyone used it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bev.lynn Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Autodesk Impression tutorials can be found on the bottom link on this page: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=9246650 There are also many more tutorials on the Impression Community site at: http://impression.autodesk.com/learning/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danb4026 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 It looks like the only way to get Impression is to be a Subscription Member. Is this the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bev.lynn Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 That appears to be the case, but if you have an Autodesk reseller, I'd check with them. I know that Impression R1 was sold in the Autodesk online store, but the last two releases have been free to those on Subscription. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danb4026 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Does anyone know how to get Impression to work on a Vista 64bit machine? I keep getting an error message when I try to open a file and it only happens on my 64 bit machines, not my 32 bit laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bev.lynn Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 There is a discussion about Impression and 64 bit at: http://discussion.autodesk.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=6178116 There are responses from the Impression staff at Autodesk and an email address where you can ask specific questions, because they want to know about problems/issues with 64 bit. Hope this helps. Also, I know they do respond to emails, so give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danb4026 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Thanks Beverly, I will shoot of and email and see what I can come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Erstad Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I would use photoshop. You begin with clean CAD for easy & quick wand selections, save your masks and there you go. Ultimate control over color, tex, value, etc. Interested in trying the illustrator approach though... You also seem to want some tutorials. These are hilarious AND you can learn something too.
