In this tutorial we will give you some insights regarding the architectural visualization post production process in Photoshop based on a rendering we made with 3d Studio MAX and Vray. In particular we use a special technique based on certain render elements like VrayRawShadows, VrayWireColor, VrayExtraTex, to speed up the work in Photoshop. We mainly use our tonytextures architectural entourage and show you where to get e.g. the free downloads so you can learn how to work with our graphics the best way – so lets get started!
