My project for course: Architectural Visualization Using Digital Collage

This was an encouraging course and also something new for me as I haven't learned much of the photoshop tools demonstrated before. The Sketchup part was fun as I learned faster ways to use it while following the videos. I really appreciate this workflow and it opened up my perspective on rendering without using complicated textures or settings on Vray. And it also challenged my view on learning how to create realistic renders as I like stylized and collage renders much more after this to show a projet. I look forward to applying these new learnings on my future projects.

3 Make the modeling of your project

I learned a faster way to model and learned not everything has to be accurate to the DWG file when modeling at first. It helps to see everything in 3D.

4 Create your own scenes

Took me some time to figure out where is and how to render the material ID channel on Windows but all in all, a good start into learning about Vray assets and how to create better scenes through the tool, Field of View. It also took me some time before learning how to put on the lights. I added more lights in the interior so it would be brighter in the Patio View. Here are my progress photos so far below:

5 Create your own collage style

The photoshop lesson took me the longest as it is one of my first times using many of the tools shown so I took my time trying to copy what was being taught first since I am not familiar with many Photoshop tools yet. I have not yet developed my own style but I really liked learning the style of the instructor to give me a better idea of how to develop my own as well. Here are some of my progress photos. I am really encouraged by how it all turned out despite the frustrations I encountered while learning something new.
