Houston based 3D Artist, Ramy Hanna, recently published a post on his blog about the Photoshop postwork process he implements in his Architectural Visualization work. Check out his screen capture video of this process on the ‘KHS’ scene down below and make sure to visit his blog too… Ramy prefers to use SketchUP as his main archviz modeling tool, much like yours truly and you will find many interesting posts related to that.

Following Javier’s great V-Ray procedural sand tutorial post, I’ve seen this rather cool video by Sascha Henrichs over at 3dtotal about the way he models 3d sand dunes using 3ds max patch grids. You might get a very nice looking sand environment doing a combo of both. Feel free to mess around with it.

2D/3D Hybrid rendering technique are really interesting, although I don’t have too many clients that prefer or ask for it, there are many things to learn that can transfer to a more photo-real inclined workflow. I previously posted about the ‘Digital Watercolor’ Technique by Scott Baumberger and now I share with you 8 videos done by Minneapolis based architectural visualization artist Les Chylinski. The following videos describe his personal hybrid workflow putting much weight on the use of Photoshop starting with a very basic 3d model rendering, done with SketchUP most of times. Enjoy.
