A couple of questions regarding...


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I have a couple of questions that I wanted to ask the pros. First, I fellow classmate of mine had a book on photoshop dealing with architectural renderings and after effects (those kind of things). The only problem is that it is in Chinese and not English. Does anyone know of any books like that that are mostly for Architectural renderings and post processing?

 

My second question is the yellowish/orangish tint (sephia I believe) that some people give to their renderings. Such as the one below. Is it just a photoshop hue/saturation adjustment or an orangish filter in Max? Any help you could give would be great. Thanks.

The sepia look although automated is really cool.

 

However, there is something different about this image, it's monochromic. To duplicate this you can desaturate an image or utilize a cool looking channel of the scene. Then create a new layer, in this case, fill with about a 85% saturated brown, then set the layer to multiply or better soft light and adjust the opacity/fill levels to suit your desires. Took all of 3 minutes to duplicate the results, your efforts may vary.

 

Give it a whirl

Another way is (Photoshop) to set your foreground (or possibly background) color to the warm gray that is sepia (an ink I have painted with since I was a kid) and do hue/saturation (CNTRL-U) and simply click the 'colorize' box in the lower right.

 

Sepia is cool. I don't know why, but it is, and has been since Leonardo drew in it.

? It has a sense of 'negative color space' and yet the hierarchy of visual percpetion is still present- outline_Form_edge_pattern_design.......we fill the sense of color (our perception) with what is "architecturally outstanding" ?

 

Many of the prehistoric cave drawings have some of the same sense as described above, kind of predating Leonardo- anyway it's amazing how universally accepted this drawing convention is....Caves_Ink & Linen_Photoshop:) .

 

Just a thought
