Has anyone had any experience using PS to do some basic architectural rendering? Most of the pros use 3D software for rendering applications but they integrate Photoshop as well. Could these renderings even be done effectively with PS only. Post some examples if you do this kind of work.
I would like to ask a question about architectural photography lighting and retouching techniques. You can see some sample sites below: URL.....
These photos are very impressive and possibly taken as HDR.The question is; this transformation can be possible just photoshop retouching even using light? It looks like 3D rendering or PS drawing but we don't sure. Is it Photoshop Plug-In or what kind of technique is it?
I keep getting a dialogue box that says "Revit was unable to render the view due to an unknown error during render calculations. The rendering operation will be canceled." The only option is to click "close" and when i do so, it continues to render but only the sky and grass. My buildings are not present.
The same scene, same settings, produce 2 very different outputs in max 2011 and 2012, render to texture for normals is currently useless in max 2012.
The blue one is a correct tangent normal map created from a sphere in max 2011, the colored one is the the one created inside max 2012 from the same objects and settings, and the last is another sample of normals generated in max 2012.
I have created a 3d model of a football stadium, but when I try to render it, it comes up with this message and it cannot render the scene. I've tried everything I can to fix it, but nothing has worked.
I've just started working for an architect and downloaded AutoCad LT 2013 today...is there some sort of menu where I can get basic door, window, etc. blocks? Or are these things I need to create myself?...I see the "tool palettes" box but it seems to have a random selection of stuff labeled "Imperial Samples" leading me to believe there might be other stuff elsewhere.
I am having problem getting my drawings to get small. Example 1" = 25' how is that translated into an architectural units. And the drawing to be small enough to fit in the screen. Actually I have problems with any architectural units to fit in my screen.
Im having an issue with my dimensions when set on the architectural units settings. The dimensions are coming up as inches even though I have the setting set to feet. When I change over to decimal feet the dimensions show as feet.
Each time I want to have batch render with 4 camera views. I thought it would provide me with elements along with it. But it just brings me only one file as I set .png.
I know it works with State Set by changing camera view. But Batch render should work too.
I can´t believe it. Save 50% Rendertime. Fix the Render Elements Bug with Render Optimizer V3! deactivate "contrast all Buffers" with RO V3, and you have the same speed as Vray Renderelements.2014 can comming! URL....
Okey, so I want to render a normal map directly from render production. Pretty much like the Viewport Filter "Normal map" in Mudbox. Can this be done? And I also want to make clear that I do not want to use "render to texture". I dont want to do any projection against an other mesh, I want to do it directly to the camera.
Yesterday Ae was working perfectly. Today, Ae will not render compositions in the render queue or in AME? If I try to render from Ae,I get this error message:
and I can fin nothing about this error anywhere on line.
I'm having some difficulty importing a pdf of a simple architectural drawing with 2 hatches. No problem with other pdfs made with my pdf995 or with the same original drawing to pdf minus the hatches. They are really simple small hatches and small files - 11x17 with minimal detail. The original architectural drawings are made in Turbocad then to pdf. I don't have an alternative way to check this out with another cad software.
Drawx5 crashes just after the dialog box for text options, then I click OK for font substitutions and it 'stops working'. All the same procedure works OK if I remove the hatches before making the pdf.

I am working in inches so I set my dimension units to Architectural. When I am dimensioning a distance that is twelve inches I would like the dimension to read 12" not 1'. I would like to set up the dimension style to report this dimension automatically without editing the text manually to change 1' to 12". Is there a way to set this up through the dimension style?
I received a drawing from a client where the architectural ticks display very large. The leader arrow shows as the correct size but the dimension tick does not. I went into the dimension style manager (dimstyle) and everything seems to be in order. The tick size is set up to be 1/16". I tried to dredge up out of my memory the autocad variables that mess with the size of the archtectural ticks like "dimasz" and "dimblk", but with no luck.
where to find some useful links of Blueprint of a Plan, either Architectural or Mechanical. I want to practice myself using any types of commands in AutoCAD.
I am an architect and bringing drawings into CorelDRAW X5 to a 1/4"=1' or 1/8"=1' ? I use Chief Architect software. Chief Architect is a great Architectural design software, but the plan set & printing in Chief Architect is nothing to special. What I am trying to do is export my Chief designs to CorelDRAW to make the actuall Plan Sets. Chief will alow me to export to a AutoCAD DXF file and I know I can import DWG & DXF files I am just wondering how to do it without loosing the scale?
I have an old dwg that I used to add new data to. I also inserted a block produced by Revit to get a building elevation. I am not sure when or how it happend, but my drawing scale units are stuck on arch. I am talking about the bottom right hand corner of the screen on the status bar where there is the spot to set drawing scale. When I open by clikcing the arrow all the scales are in architectural units. I can add a custom scale of 1"=100', but it does not otherwise appear in the list. I wasn't going to wrry about it, but when I layout a plan/pro series they do not seem to be scaling correctly (and I cannot find a place to specify what scale I want the views to be at). UNITS, -DWGUNITS & -AECDWGUNITS don't fix it, they are all set to decimal, etc. Using the seetings tab to change the drawing settings, everything is set to feet, there is no place to specify arch units, the 100 scale drawing is shown as a custom scale.
This is C3D release 2012, on a 64bit Win7 Pro machine, everything is up to date.
Where I can change the units for the drawing scale?

1) Why structural columns don't show up in architectural plans. The only way I can see to coordinate the structure with the architectural elements is to use structural plans.
2) How to make structural columns visible in architectural plans? I've tried the visibility graphics but everything seems to be turned on by default.
i have got 2 ways to create foliage for architectural rendering. One of them is using proxies and the other is using particle system.I have got another idea.
Use position restricted one polygonal plane with opacity mapped plane.Scatter.Look at constraint with camera.
I am working on an architectural drawing and for some reason when I try to "objectscale" the annotation to the same scale as the view port I am using, it doesn't appear or if it does it is a lot smaller scale than I requested.
I can get the leading zeros in the architectural dim style. My problem is I cant seem to get the leading zero in the parts list format. If I edit the parts list, then format column, there is no option to include leading zeros like in the dim styles.
We could format the parts list with the leading zero before....This is in 2013, BTW..
I have a parameter length that is currently in inches and I would like to use it to populate the description but I would like it to be displayed in Architectural style (i.e. 12’-3”). I would also like to have it round up to the nearest 3”.
just got my boss to agree today to use cad's dimensions instead of the way he's always done it... which is dimensioning everything (everything!) by hand. Clearly that's just nonsense. But what is important is that I make sure these new autocad dimensions look exactly like the ones we do by hand.
I think I've pretty much got the basics down, I just have one major problem: tick orientation. When doing horizontal dimensions, the ticks run from bottom left to upper right. When doing vertical dimensions, they flip. This would drive my boss nuts... to the extent that I doubt I could get him to buy into this if I can't figure out how to keep the ticks running in the same direction.
I understand I could just dimension with no ticks whatsoever, and then just go copy them in by hand, but that reeks of the old, laborious way of dimensioning... and it really seems like there should be an easy answer to always keeping the ticks running the same way.
