How to Render Master Plan/Site Plan Architecture in Photoshop

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

So excited to be sharing this video with you! I absoultly love this master plan and how it came out. The landscaping was the hardest but best part! Anyone going on holiday? Needing a good travel location xx

[@CMRHM]

why you call it is rendering in PS? I thought it is only the rendering in 3D program called rendreing? Am I wrong?

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

Photoshop is an image rendering software. I haven't heared of a 3D software called 'rendering'.

[@jona_archi]

@@CMRHM rendering is simply the process of calculating every pixel (lighting, fusing layers and effects) for the finished picture or video. This applies for example for exporting an image from photoshop, exporting a video from davinci resolve or "rendering" a 3d animation with blender

Thank you for make it slower we can understand much easier thank you so much. Amazing editing.

You are welcome my friend :)

[@daniellemoller7080]

Your videos are very helpful and inspiring! I've learned so much, please make more videos and a if you make a video about the separate steps in deeper detail I'll definitely watch that too and it'll be helpful.

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

I am happy to know that you are enjoying the videos :) Thank you for watching :) I will make sure to upload it soon.

[@guipte]

Oh my god, this is SO helpful... One of the best architecture tutorial videos I've seen, thank you so much for that!

Trees are out of scale. Make sure it's in a reasonable size. Great video.

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

They look to scale to me. Thank you!

[@alta_lando]

This was the first video in my life that I’ve watched at speed x0.25😂 the result looks amazing!

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

Hahah why did you watch it at 0.25? Thank you so much!

[@alta_lando]

Surviving Architecture because I wanted to follow every step you made! I’m on my second year of architecture university, and from now on we’ve got to do our projects using machine graphics (the first year was all by hand), and I seek for good photoshop, 3dsmax, revit and autocad tutorials! I’ve found loads of them, but sometimes I get pretty stressed if I don’t understand a lot... yours are intelligible and relevant! Maybe you can advise some other sources with tutorials, please? Thanks a lot!!

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

Oh I wish you the best of luck! I remember that time trying to understand photshop hahaha. I really like this blog its by Alex Hogrefe. Everything is written so should be easier to follow. I hope that helps: visualizingarchitecture.com/

Very informative video, but I just really love your accent. It's so calm 😌

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

Thank you so much! 💛

[@jona_archi]

to me, this looks more like a job for Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape or Affinity Designer. Amazing video though - I super enjoyed watching and you explained really well what yoh did. Also the little text comments to what you said were funny and lifted the mood of what is normally "just" a tutorial.

[@NoVisionGuy]

So inkscape could do good at doing site plans?

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

Thank you Jonathan! I agree. I've done this site plan before I learned how to use illustrator. Now I'd probably use it over photoshop.

[@avantegarde123]

Thank you! I've been watching other site render tutorials, this is the best and easiest to understand!

Nice colour palette! What I do to render faster is to export the layers for building, landscape and roads separately from AutoCAD.

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

Yessss! I should have done that ☺️

[@SARIAK12Centre]

Excellent video, love the masterplan tutorials they’re really great for urban planning students who are less proficient in visualisation than architecture students (so has been really handy for me). Thanks so much, videos at this speed are great for the novice Photoshop user too. Can’t wait to use this in my project next semester.

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

Glad to know the video was helpful and good for you. I have been lowering the speed so it's good to know that it's better for you guys. Thank you for watching :)

[@수쭈-b3q]

Thank you for making such a good video. With your video, I can make the master plan much better. After watching the video, I have a question. What kind of file is the base map that you brought before you started Photoshop? Is this the file that converted CAD file to PDF file?

[@andrefortune8278]

Wow love your work 🙏🙏 please do more step by step videos like this

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

Thank you so much! Will do 😊❤️

[@blacknite555]

At Syracuse University, Rhino is used rather than AutoCAD so I may be off base. But I feel like this would be way easier if you just exported to Adobe Illustrator to maintain the layers you created in Rhino (AutoCAD).

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

I know what you mean but I am not that familiar with illustrator, personally I can work faster with photoshop but I am trying to implement illustrator for diagrams and other drawings. Thank you for watching :)

where did you get your autocad file from, im struggling to find a website that does maps for cad that arent cadmapper or digimaps btw i loved the wholw outcome im looking forward to creating one myself

[@op2100]

Isn't easier to export separated layers from autocad. Import them one by one in psd and then color it all ?

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

That can be done with Illustrator however, I am still working on my Illustrator skills and hopefully will do a video on how to do a render using Illustrator. Thank you for your comment :)

Hey, first of all thank you very much for this video, the quality is incredible ! I wanted to know something, where do you get the "master plan" with all the buildings, roads, parcs etc ? I assume it is from autocad ? So i wanted to know, is there another way to make it ? Or do you use a GIS like ArcGIS ? Thank you very much and keep up the great work :)

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

Thank you so much! The master plan is my design so I am not sure what you mean? If you mean the context that is all exported from Digimap

[@knight32d]

Love all your videos. Thank you! I’m having trouble converting my AutoCAD plan to pdf so that I can import it to photoshop for rendering. After importing the pdf into photoshop, the lines are very light and thin. They are not prominent enough like dark black lines to work with. What am I doing wrong within AutoCAD before creating the PDFs or am I doing it something wrong during import to photoshop? Help please.

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

It could be the line weight! Try out different line weights in autocad before exporting, and you could also add a stroke to the layer in photoshop! I hope that helps 😊

[@aminebenamina9927]

Thx for this vedio . 💖💖👍

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

You are welcome my friend :)

[@pasqualepaldino9811]

Hy dear, i would make u a question, but before to make this job in fotoshop you must have on Cad each layer for building, green area and street, or si ti enough the pdf in autocad with one layer for istance? Thanks for your tutorial you are a great. Ps i added u on linkedin xd

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

Yes, correct! I usually export everything in one layer but if it is on multiple layers, it will definitely help.

[@Sfhbehd]

Let’s say you want to do this style Masterplan to a screenshot of google maps in photoshop, is there a way to cut out the building cleaner and make lines appear sharp and crisp without having to draw it yourself, i.e. “draw lines based on image filter” better than sharpen or deleting based on wand tool, I am also aware of snazzy maps but that hasn’t worked for me either the drop shadows make it messy and the buildings are not aligned properly

Hmmm that's weird. Is the problem only with copy and paste or with other shortcuts? Try crtl+D first and then try other shortcuts. I sometimes have the problem when I switch the language on my keyboard and won't work unless I change it back to English. If that does not work try resetting the preferences on Photoshop.
