Hey guys whats up welcome to show it better,
today we are going to see how to create a
rendered style plan in photoshop.
So we are going to do this only with autocad
and photoshop.
So you have your plan in autocad and export
it in a pdf, in a decent size, and import
it to photoshop.
I had it as you guys can see, i had it in
color in the background so what we are going
to do is with the lazo tool we are going to
separate all the context from the normal plan.
So after we separate it we are going to start
selecting, first the walls, then the floor
then the windows etc etc etc.
So first we are going to select all the walls,
I do this with a marquee tool, you can press
m on your keyboard or you can do this with
the lazo tool.
And when you have all the walls selected,
you will create a new layer, and you will
fill all these walls black.
And basically that is going to be the process
for each layer.
So we are going to create a new layer, select
the floor and either we import a texture or
we color it from our photoshop plan.
So as you guys can see I am selecting the
floor right now, so i look for wood floor
texture on google and i select the image that
is more close to what i am looking for.
So there are various ways to get all of this,
but I think google is a very good resource
to get all of your images that is basically
what i did for all this video.
I used all the images from google, and once
you have all the images selected you select
the whole floor area and you create a mask,
you just create a mask and what this will
do will be that it will show only the parts
that you want the floor to be shown.
So this type of floor plan is not your normal
type of floor plan this is a floor plan that
is very useful when you are at your architecture
office or this is something you have to show
to a client cause normally clients want to
see more realistic stuff when you are n university
or in college you are doing competitions,
you try to do more abstract stuff.
Things that are monocromatic, that are more,
cool looking but when you get to the real
world you know, clients are not architects,
they just want to see.
What material is my floor going to be in?
how is my couch?
how is it going to look? so you want to get
a very realistic feel.
So you can do this by, if you have a 3d model,
you can render your 3d model in the plan view,
and show it like that or you can do this other
option wich is fine as well.
But this is a type of plan you will see a
lot when you are selling apartments, etc etc.
So this is more for kinda the "real world"
type of plan.
Also if you guys want to download this file,
this plan so you can see all the textures,
for your own plan you can do it.
There is a link in the description.

You guys can also follow me on instagram @letsshowitbetter
or on facebook also at @letsshowitbetter Ive
been really greatful with you guys seriously
its been amazing this whole ride.
I just want to thank you all for supporting
show it better, and for sharing the videos.
Also you guys can support me on patreon.
So as you guys can see when we are starting
to import things that are not textures but
objects it is also a thing that you can find
a lot in google.
So before it was way much harder to find these
type of images but right now its very easy
so as you guys can see, you put, sink top
view, bed top view, double bed top view, single
bed top view, toilet top view, and you will
get different types of toilets, different
types of objects, now there may be a situation
where you are doing specific things, where
you have specific materials, specific objects,
and this will not be as easy so in that moment
i do recommend maybe modeling in 3d or rendering
or top view, something.
But i think generally in these type of plans
those generic images will do to a point.
Also if you guys want to comment down below
what type of videos you would like to see
it would be greatly apreciated I have planned
in my schedule to do videos on presentation
boards and videos on my portfolio.
I just want to gather a lot of information
so it can be a very complete video.
But i do hear you guys! also for those of
you who want to see the video in a slower
pace I know there is always many of you, you
can slow down the video in your youtube settings,
altough that is not really the point.
You are not gonna get a lot of information
by slowing down the video, the idea is that
you guys try to do this in your house, by
yourselves, maybe pause the video and try
to do it.
That is the way you have to learn some stuff.
Now as you guys can see here on the stairs,
we are starting to apply shadows so what i
do in this specific point is with the burn
tool which is not the best way to do it.
With the burn tool you can press o on your
keyboard, and you select the parts that are
going to be with shadows right?
And also alongside the walls, i the floor,
what i did was with the burn tool and just
burn a little bt of shadows so it will look
more like a rendered plan, because if bot
it is also accpetable if you want to leave
it flat but i think this will give it depth
to understand different planes of materials,
different heights of things, so basically
yeah,, that is what i dd.
once you have the shadows on the table, of
the couch, of everythig it will give it much
more it will have a clearer punch to the whole
plan.
So yeah basically that is it for todays video
I hope you guys liked it, remember to like
this video, comment down below, what video
you would like to see in the future and or
maybe it is a not a tutorial, maybe why dont
you talk about your computer settings, why
dont you talk abut something else. and i will
try to follow your comments, and dot them.
Also remember to follow me in instagram at
letsshowitbetter and facebook at letsshowitbetter,
there are a lot of nice previews over there
