Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Does anyone have any advice or can steer me in a direction that could help me develop a rendering workflow using cad, su and ps only. I also have Photoshop CS6 which I’m learning different ways of rendering. Now it’s just a matter of speeding up my workflow. But I do have autocad in which I’m proficient, SU which I’m able to model almost anything.

I can’t afford a rendering engine at this point. I’m just having a tough time creating awesome renderings without the modern architecture and materials. I just want to be able to add rendering services that can set me apart from competition.

I’m an autocad guru that can offer design and drafting services to many of my friends in the industry. I haven’t been able to create even descent photorealistic rendering with the more historical and traditional architecture that is a huge part of the Charleston area. Materials likemodern like glass,wood, metal and synthetics seem to work better when creating a rendering. I feel that is easier to make this modern architecture pop more from a visualization point of view. It’s been tough because all of the tutorials and research that I’ve found are more tailored to urban scenes and modern architecture houses.

I’ve been trying to find a way to create architectural visualization renderings for residential landscape designs. I want to contract 3d design services to many of the companies in the area. While studying LA at Clemson over 9 years ago, we touched on the very basics of SU because I don’t think anyone knew at that timethat it would become the staple in design that it is today. For the last 2 months I’ve been dedicating all my time in learning SU. There is a lack of LAs and designers here that have the skills and knowledge to produce 3d models and animations. But I’ve gotten to the point in which I want to start my own venture and fill a niche within my local industry. I’ve worked for and with some of the most renowned LAs in the Southeast. I have 18 years experience in the landscape design/build industry. (Continued from above) in Charleston, SC.
