so cool
Great tutorial. One thing I did think though, however, is you're adding the visible trees entirely in PS. Therefore, would it not be quicker and less heavy on resources to have a reflection plane behind the camera, rather than the 3D trees? I guess you have more control over the 3D assets, but i'd say reflections could be somewhat ambiguous, meaning a clean 'tree line' plane with some subtle distortion in the glass would be absolutely fine
Yes, reflection maps are also fine. I use them mostly both. The map (mostly I use a large cylinder around the whole scene) is nice to really close all the gaps. But I find that real 3d trees add even more realistic detail to the reflection. Especially with designs like these where the most part of the building consists of glass and the focus of the viewer is mostly on that part of the image.
@@NicolaiBecker Understood, and also accept. I enjoyed following your workslow though, as C4d > Corona > Photoshop is rare to find. It was nice to see a realistic alternative to Chaos Scatter everything, but with some nice Quixel/Megascans. (hopefully a corona plugin for this soon). I do suspect since you did this particular tutorial, that the photoshop work could be even more rough now, with something like Magnific AI upscaler doing some of the heavy lifting in realism.
(Why) Do you prefer using a rendering software for the whole process or doing it this way (render the buildings then add elements in photoshop)?
it really depends on the project. I like the more intuitive way of matte paintings. But over the time, i actually did more and more in 3D since you obviously have more control. And combined with AI tools you can also the 3d look of plants for example. But for meadows, trees etc. i still like to use 2D aka photo elements.
Your works are really professional, I watch even if I don't do arch viz
Love all your videos they are so helpful!! Thank you!! I would love to see you work on urban scenes and how you handle them
really nice tutorial. One basic question, did you use any lights inside the building or does that all come from the hdri?
there are additional lights in the interior
Hi Nicolai Ich bin Student in Architektur und ich hab dein Lernprogramm für Cinema 4d gekauft , was ich mega gut finde , aber meine Frage ist , ob du ein neues Programm vorhast , zum Beispiel was ein Rendering von städtebauliche Situation angeht , wie man zum Beispiel Gebäude integrieren kann , richtige Asphalt bei Cinema 4d bearbeiten kann mit wasser drauf. Das wäre mega mega krass von dir so ne Programm zu haben
hi und danke für dein feedback. Das integrieren von einem gebäude in ein foto ist eine gute idee! Asphalt mit Wasser kommt auch auf die liste! danke dir

fantastic 🎉

I have been looking for this for months thanks my guy
this is really cool!
Thank you so much! 😉
THE BEST
Really helpful and inventive videos mate! Thanks for this. Do you also use LUTs? I have started using a bit, but I feel like they just work in really low opacity. Any thoughts on this?
thanks! i use LUTs regularly in corona post process. But not yet in Photoshop.
awesome
Top Video.
Thank you!
great stuff. thank you! greetings from germany
Thanks for your comment! Grüße zurück 😊
Hi Nicolai! Your video series are golden so as your asset collection! Very explanatory and comprehensive. Cheers from Greece!
Thank you 🙏 😊
Hey Nicolai, another great video. Do you ever do your grading in something like Camera Raw Filter? I like that you can assign color tones to the different levels of the image. What are your thoughts?
Yes, sometimes I also use the camera raw filter, mostly with a low opacity on top. 👍
Cool tutorial! But in the next video, please enable the cursor for screen
damn... 🤓 how did that even happen. I will for sure
Thanks you for your amazing series ❤️
Hi Nicolai! i would be happy if you could once do a texture pack with photgraphs from ashphalt, pavement, street and so on. I really loved the grass textures but i dont have much ground maps. Regards
thanks for your input! i will have a look into my library if its worth another pack :) For the tutorial, you can also download the asphalt and gravel photo background, you already know that, right?
Thank you for the time taken to make this making of. It's rare to see it.
Thanks for your comment! I am happy that it’s helpful.
Danke für die tolle Videoreihe! Immer gerne mehr davon, hilft einem unheimlich weiter. Welche Renderprogramme würdest du empfehlen für das eigentliche Gebäude? Bei mir ist das Problem das Lumion und Twinmotion immer wieder diese "Comicatmossphere" darstellen, trotz zahlreicher Tweaks.
Hallo Nicolai, vielen Dank für die Videoserie. Ich hoffe, bald wieder ein Videotraining von dir sehen zu können. Beste Grüße Dule
Nächstes Tutorial kommt bestimmt ☝️🤓
great tutorial! where i can find this photoshop essential pack you are talking about at 14:44?
Its from Horoma, and you can find it here: horoma.gumroad.com/l/omYGB
Another amazing video, please dont lets us wait so long for the next one! Keep it going with the archviz videos, its so hard to find these really good in-depth tutorials.
Great work as always! Really enjoying watching those tutorials- waiting for more to come :)
thank you!
As we already exchanged on the first video, this second part is really cool to watch. I know, nowadays, we can achieve really advanced and believable 3D textures with a lot of tweaking (especially with the node system in almost well known 3D render softwares) but decal is always for me a nice final touch. I don't say its more or less believable, juste i prefer the "feeling" of them. But yeah we have to find the perfect balance for not overtune the image. To blend your decals, you use a lot of Adjustements layer like curves and so one. It's give a lot of freedom to adjust but i haven't seen you using the "blending option" (i'm not sure this is the right term because i'm using Photoshop in French) in the layer style, where you can use "sliders" in the "Blend if" area. I think it's nice option to play with, very similar but different if you had only use adjustement layers. It's perfect to blend images without modify the contrast or luminosity. It's a personnal choice ? I'm just curious about that. Anyway, great sharing once again. I know it's very time consuming to do video like this, no need to rush. I think most of viewers prefer to watch great content than clickbait video or already seen workflow / just simple "tuts"'. Thank you !
thank you for this comment. Really appreciate your positive feedback! I didn't know about the blend if function so far and just watched a tutorial. This is actually very nice, and in some cases Im sure its the better option.
Una locura, crack.
Amazing work! Thank you so much! <3
thanks! :-)
Amazing insights and great videos. Thanks for putting out all of the content that you do! Your website/store is also amazing, great materials there
thank you for your comment! I'm glad you appreciate the content :-)

Very good work. Thank you!!
thanks pedro!
Hey Nicolai! Very good tutorial! Just a question, where did you get those wooden beams? Quixel?
Yes, this is actually just one beam from quixel, rotated a couple of times and albedo/color is edited.
Amazing stuff, please keep it going.
Great stuff as usual. :]
❤
Hi Nicolai, really nice. Do you have also problems with the corona glass material? In my opinion it often dont works like i want it to work. Btw i love the new scene you created with the snow landscape.
hey! haven't had any issues so far with glass materials. Are you using refraction? For windows i always activate thin in the refraction mode (no refraction)
Happy to have you back! Looking forward to all the awesome content you bring. And big thanks for the free downloads, helps tons!
Thank you! Much appreciated
This is such a great tutorial!! Really helped me a lot as a beginner :) Hope you dont get tired of making these. BIG THANKS!💖
Im really glad it was helpful!! More to come soon!
That's really funny, i found your channel just few days ago thanks to your video about a Corona render in interior. It was really great content, but then i saw " 9 months ago". I was "damn this is good content but not sure the channel is still active so sad". And today, what a surprise when i recieve a notification ! You made really good content, with a true "professional" example. There is a lot of video on youtube, but only few like you, with a such good quality. Great work ! EDIT : One more thing, you deserve a medal to have a PSD files so well prepared with colored folder, name on everything. That's like a dream for a graphic designer when you see this ahahaha
Thank you so much for this comment! That’s really motivating.. and for the record, I just started with the tutorials. In the future I want to upload new tutorials more frequently
