sygboe Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hello, This is a proposed house extension i've just 'finished'. I've been doing sketchup models for ages, but only recently started to try more photorealistic renders, so i'm quite new to it. out of interest, what would peoples charge for this kind of before and after single image for an architect?

sygboe Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 the images have gone on really tiny. i'll put bigger ones on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadmunkey Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 nice first attempt. With a bit of tweaking using colour correction you can probably get that proposed brick map to look more like the existing. Its a bit off now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sygboe Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 thanks, i had trouble with the bricks being too red before. so i made my own map from the same bricks on an existing photo. but when i render the colour seems to differ quite a lot. it was vray/sketchup. i keep trying to shift the colour balance a little in photoshop, but cant seem to match it. are there any tips to achieve this? like desaturate then contrast and brightness. i just seem to fiddle and fiddle, but it would be good to know some basic things to bear in mind.

cadmunkey Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I'd use the colour balance option within photoshop so you can indivually adjust the RGB values to get it near. If this messes with the rest of the image too much I'd render out just the brickwork separately in vray and overlay it over your photoshopped image.

sygboe Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 i put the bricks and tiles on new layers, and fiddled with brightness contrast hue and saturation. then tried colour burn and whatever in the layer options. it seems to have dulled down to fit in more. does it look better?

STRAT Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 out of interest, what would peoples charge for this kind of before and after single image for an architect? in this financial climate not much more than a couple hundred quid at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
