How To Edit Your Renders With Photoshop

Here's a typical example of my process for editing renders in Photoshop. As you'll see in the video, its extremely important to do some post work on your renders since there are many things you simply cannot do in 3d.

Awesome tutorial! I've had two PSD files for each project to use the raw filter. Converting it to a smart layer first so you could change things after is also something I learned now. Apreciate the tutorials man, keep them coming :)

[@yutahvision]

It would be amazing to see how you achieve that amazing wet floor full of imperfections.

[@sanzay.]

Look up Quixel megascans surface imperfection - grunge

[@yutahvision]

@@sanzay. And i just drop it and connect it to the roughness right?

[@sanzay.]

@@yutahvision yes! You can adjust a bit with color ramp and some other nodes if you feel like but that's pretty much it.

[@SHAVIM]

he has tutorials on how to do that too, that video's called something like how to make amazing concrete floor or something, also by him

[@yutahvision]

@@SHAVIM Thanks for taking the time to answer, but it's been 7 months and finally I'm able to create those, that tutorial was super helpful^^

[@jonathanwennstromm1578]

Gosh I need a video like this Watching later, thanks!

[@MTOcreations]

Would love a more in depth tutorial about the rendering out the mist pass and importing it into photoshop. And what brush you were using to give it that Smokey look and such 🔥. Great tutorial, love the artwork

[@MTOcreations]

Also curious how you got that emissive circle that looks like it’s in motion or finger painted lol

[@dynamicshit]

i have all same questions^^^^ Im in C4D.

[@maxhayart]

There are already plenty on KZbin, just search for how to get a mist pass (or depth pass or whatever if you're in c4d), save the image and then drop it into Photoshop.

[@MTOcreations]

@@maxhayart ya I found some tutorials lol thanks. (What about the circle look you got. Doesn’t look like mesh so def curious how you achieved that lol)

[@dynamicshit]

@@maxhayart thanks max!!

[@philykos]

Excited for your future Max...!! Keep at it you'll get far

[@mariabr8954]

You seem really well versed in photoshop. I would love to learn more about compositing render layers in photoshop (for beginners)

[@abeerhassan97]

You're videos are actually helpful. Keep up the good work.

[@YellowNotThe]

helped so much, thought the original render looked good but this just made it even better. tahnks!

[@parallax_cgi]

This is so great and really helpful, learned a lot of things to do ! Keep it up brother 👊

[@akshatxart]

Very informative Maxx!!! ❤️

[@blenderinnovations2537]

Awesome!!! Been waiting for this!

[@tuxgirl]

This is great! I've been trying to do similar things using the blender compositor, and I can do some of it, but not everything. Hoping I can figure out how to do most of this stuff in gimp because I can't afford a subscription to Photoshop. Your renders are amazing, though, and I've been binge-watching all your tutorials! :)

[@olanrewajuogunniran6101]

Thank you, God bless

[@maxmuster2637]

Adding mist and then adding clarity afterwards is a gigachad move

[@paitonhebert6167]

Proud of you brother! Keep up the great work man!

[@DeadAndAliveCat]

Jesus christ dude, you can fit more useful information into a ten-minute video than Blender Guru can fit in a 26-part video series. A true blessing to the community.

[@Rockberries]

Really interesting mate, thanks a lot! I thought you were doing much more but you know how to keep it minimalistic and effective. This reassures me in a way but also tells me that I just have to get better :)

[@YakOfArt]

Showing the face eh? I like the new format

[@aphondex]

FINALLYY!!! I NEEDED THIS

[@olekstarasov]

Just stunning information Thank you

[@luvpreet5323]

you are a gem bro

[@Gadalac]

This was a fantastic tutorial

[@dougieladd]

Nice! Do you have a blender breakdown vid of this scene also? Loving your channel man... great content. Keep it coming. :D

[@kremesus]

Wow that one really i needed it

[@trg1408]

Now make a tutorial using GIMP which I'm using, which there aren't any tutorials for. For this use case. This helps out a lot!

[@bolamatyp]

hey, just wondering where you got the person silhouette model, it looks very nice

[@afromonkstudios]

this is so insightful, but how do i do this for multiple images of a sequence(video)

[@vineetsarthi]

Full support bro👍🏻

[@avatr7109]

Very cool.. need to learn photoshop i guess

[@jasonseng888]

ohhhh you are my hero!!!

[@mahanoc970]

it would be amazing to create a video about camera setting. i really want to know how you get that fishy eye kinda look.

[@jerryperez6288]

Hey Max! Your videos are super informative and helpful, thank you! How do you fill the mask layer before curves and applying the mask?

[@siemensohm]

for future reference: edit- fill-ok

[@elipscease031]

I got it!

[@ErikMKeller]

Great to see your workflow. A question, if you don't mind: the image is in 16bit colorspace, do you convert it to 8bit before delivery? I usually go with a 32bit EXR for the process and convert them to P3 (as in a bit more colors for devices capable of displaying it). TIA

[@nolram]

What’s the source of the person in the image ? Custom-modelled ? From a library ? If so, from where ?

[@Last0wner]

yeah man I would love some tutorials or some links to how to improve renders because I've been using blender for like 2 years and seen pretty much zero improvement that whole "keep doing it and you'll get better" is the worse advice I've ever got if I don't know what I'm doing I won't get better.

[@Graciousalicando]

Hey Max, how many years have passed since you started learning these skills?

[@Hainesi]

GREAT VIDEOS MATE

[@Skyprex]

Awesome

[@aeir_028]

first 30 seconds would sum up what I have rn lol. I just tweaked the settings till something came out looking decent.

[@13dcreaciones]

thank you!

[@n4thanstewart]

The lens dirt images are all pretty small, did you tile them to create the screen you have here?

[@cycla]

but how did the eyedropper tool turned into the lasso at 1:49?

[@juanvhr8563]

could you do a more explination mode for people who doesnt know too much about photoshop

[@SplitGraphics]

bro can you make breakdown on your pyramid render?

[@zainkashif858]

Maybe a tutorial for this render?

[@YakOfArt]

Where do I get those lens effects?

[@sporshoahmed6592]

how to make the magic??
