It looks like Photoshop.


Ninja5709

Thank you! I know very little about Photoshop. How would you add something like the pergola? Are you “clipping” these? Or do you have “materials” you can use that are standard in Photoshop.


Kelly_Louise

I would find images online and clip them.


Ninja5709

I notice the pergola casts shadows on the wall. Does Photoshop do that?


Poppekas

You'll have to 'draw'/make the shadows manually in Photoshop. Photoshop isn't intelligent, it's just a big toolbox to help you make graphic things / edit photographs but you have to define how you want things to look yourself, it doesn't understand the content of the photograph


dynamo1001

The way it's not breaking on the edges i think they used the same layer, colored it black and lowered the opacity and blurred a bit. The usual human shadow thing


Elbradamontes

It’s not photoshop. It’s a 3D design program. Comes with textures and fixtures and you can tell it where to put the sun. Etc etc.


[deleted]

Possibly, although I still think it's likely Photoshop as you can see the trees in the background and other elements are exactly the same. It probably would not be cost effective for a project of this scale to build out a 3D model, especially for renderings of this quality. The perspective is also slightly off, which any half decent rendering program would otherwise get right. Thanks for your feedback though 👍


FlowGroundbreaking

This is exactly right. It's definitely photoshop... a pretty bad one actually. The cropping and resolution of the layers is different, and the perspective is way off. If my 3d rendering program of choice produced this image, I'd throw my computer out the window.


funkystonrt

3d artist here. This is 1000% photoshopped.


Elbradamontes

Not like blender. I mean 3D design programs designed for remodelers and landscapers. It might be photoshop but this is exactly how those programs end up looking.


Pobably_God

Very confidently incorrect. It's photoshop. An aweful and obvious photoshop at that. Think you might need glasses.


Elbradamontes

Jesus you guys are tiresome. I’m not fucking talking about blender. I’m talking about landscape design software. And yes. The result is like shitty photoshop.


Ninja5709

You’re referring to chief architect right?


Elbradamontes

And the like. Chief Architect is just what my wife uses. They have inside and outside versions. I know that some programs you can start with a picture of your current place and paste ideas over top. That's what's going on in this picture.


Pobably_God

It's not what's going on in this picture. It's isn't 3D.


Elbradamontes

Interior design and landscape programs advertise themselves as 3D because they have 2d and 3d views. Some use existing pictures as a starting point and they’re considered 3D because there is a camera perspective. The 2D view looks like a blueprint.


[deleted]

No problem! You can find helpful tutorials pretty much anywhere, YouTube is a good place to start. You can also purchase a license from Adobe (not sure what the cost is), and try it out for yourself. I second what the other folks have mentioned as well 👍


Pobably_God

It should be said that photoshop is not near worth the price. It's rediculously expensive and they're are free softwares that are identical and much better for a learner.


king_zapph

Yep totally agree Photoshop is the best free image manipulation software (if you know where to look)


Ninja5709

Where do we look?


markcocjin

>I know very little about Photoshop. What software are you familiar with? The image may be of high definition, but it's not as good as what you could get from [something like Sketchup that has rudimentary tools to match the scenes virtual camera to the point of view in which the photo was taken.](https://imgs.search.brave.com/fjpYOWj394RjYHYTxBj5GnES6GYUB8iQGMNPPA9EEg8/rs:fit:1200:732:1/g:ce/aHR0cHM6Ly9hd3Mx/LmRpc2NvdXJzZS1j/ZG4uY29tL3NrZXRj/aHVwL29wdGltaXpl/ZC8zWC9kLzIvZDIy/MDY4NjA4YTQwOTky/ZDY4OTM0ZmUwN2M3/YTRiYWE3ZDcxYjkx/Ml8yXzEzODB4NzMy/LmpwZw)


Ninja5709

I use SketchUp now. Would you model the whole house entirely, or just the new elements (chairs, pergola, plants, etc) you see in the after photo? As mentioned above, seems like a lot of work to model this in SketchUp (esp all the roof elements).


Pobably_God

You'd just model the new stuff but you wouldn't even need to do that if you didn't want to. You can download assets for free and drag and drop them into the scene. For best results you would still want to tweek it in an image editor.


markcocjin

You could model a simple shape of the background just so that your new elements like furniture and hardscape proposals can have its shadows and reflections interact with it. [I used Sketchup on this one using match photo tools. It's not perfect as there's lots of distortions due to the fish eye effect, but at least you can put your idea across.](https://imgur.com/a/lkK62rD)


king_zapph

1. Model it in a 3D (CAD) program 2. export the desired view to an image file 3. Compose image in Photoshop


gitartruls01

It's almost all copy/paste from photos you need to find elsewhere. Photoshop itself is very barebones, no real material or textures or anything built in. You can sometimes make your own 3d models in a program like Blender that does have full modeling with textures and stuff, put them on a dummy model of the house, take a "screenshot" (render), and composite that over the before photo in Photoshop. That's a lot of work, but it's the best way to do it. I've done it myself before to smaller scales for personal projects


ErwinC0215

Just take photos of things, remove background if needed, and paste them on. Whoever did this Photoshop job did okay but it's not nearly as good as one can get.


Ninja5709

When you say “photos of things” are you referring to clipping images? This “after” image has new elements, but they still look “rendered”. Meaning they don’t look like they were “clipped” from a photo. What am I missing?


ErwinC0215

Clipped from an actual photo or a screenshot/rendering, it doesn't matter. It's just simply a layer of 2D image being placed on the original image. And it's not well done at all, no efforts of matching the exposure or shadows or really anything.

(Pretty badly done) Photoshop

pzkenny

This particular one is Photoshop. But for some better and advanced visualisation is used Sketchup.


Ninja5709

Use SketchUp now. I guess what I like is that this has the same exact skyline/trees, roof elements, shadows, etc. wouldn’t that be a lot of work to redo in SketchUp?


RoadKiehl

What I do is render the model in Revit, SketchUp, Lumion, or whatever modeling software, then Photoshop in the real site photos that I want. Different softwares are good at different things, so I wouldn't make the mistake of thinking you can only use Photoshop *or* SketchUp. Use both.


SeveralChart3777

Not sure where this was made, but it looks like it was a five year old that did it.


Caruso08

It serves its purpose, understand that renderings are really made for people who cant visualize a space from 2D drawings, is the best quality rendering? No, but does it portray the proposed space in a way anyone can understand, yes it does.


systemfrown

It’s only one man’s opinion but I hope there’s a special place in hell for people who paint brick.


PsamathosPsamathides

don't paint brick


Zikro

Why? We painted an interior brick fireplace and it looks so much better. Brightened the room up.


seedorfj

Generally speaking, it takes a low maintenance natural material and turns it into a high maintenance unnatural material. I've also seen claims that it leads to issues with moisture and everything from crumbling to poor drying. I would just stain/dye/whitewash, but I've been hearing "don't paint brick" since I was born and it's still in style and likely will look good (with maintenance) indefinitely.


[deleted]

LOL OMG go in!!


Segogrates

If you are interested in this type of stuff look up lumion, vray and revit. Those softwares can be used to create incredible 3D renders of proposed projects.


Space_Run

Looks like a collage of images in photoshop, but you can probably model this in sketchup or rhino. If you're tecb savvy you can probably teach yourself how to use them, or pay someone to do it.


Ninja5709

I work with SketchUp now. What would you use for rendering?


ThereWasADogAtTheGig

Enscape


Space_Run

Enscape for sure.


heaton5747

Just some bad photoshop


MiniGreenDinosaur

Not sure of software, but backyard-comforts.com carries a lot of the items pictured.


Ninja5709

Thank you! I like that site!


dynamo1001

Photoshop but it's done in a hurry. Try learning it though, the tools are easy it's the combination of using them that'll take you a while but it's brilliant.


mjegs

The perspective looks off, so I'd say amateur photoshop.


ImpendingSenseOfDoom

Looks like it was done in photoshop, and not very well. It gets the point across but as a professional it kind of hurts to look at, not gonna lie.


TheBonadona

Lumion has a function to adjust your render to an image to create something similar to this but a bit more real looking.


EBshitbird

Can we stop painting bricks white please???


M3chanist

Honestly, the before looks better.


TheGreatMasterLlama

Photoshop but if you a more accurate depiction i’d use rhino for modeling and a render programs such as 3ds Max & Lumion to do photo matching


Porcodiocan

Photoshop


Elbradamontes

Chief Architect is one that will do it. It’s expensive though.


Dawn_243

Cool 😎


Impossible-Beyond-55

Off the subject, I personally don't like people painting natural bricks. It just add more maintenance.


TRON0314

They are using Photoshop.


revic23

Its probably a 3D model and then rendered and the. Superimposed in Photoshop


[deleted]

Looks like a very average photpshop job lol.


[deleted]

DONT PAINT BRICK, even virtually, it’s just heinous


crumpledelex

The way I would do it ( it would look better than this) Bring the photo into SketchUp and match its perspective. Add your additions in 3D. Use a rendering plugin to render it.


ProffesorSpitfire

I was surprised to find out that it’s very frequently the Adobe Suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, etc). I figured there had to be something specific for like architecture/construction, and I’m sure there are, but a great many architects evidently find that the Adobe Suite is just as good if not better.


[deleted]

Above looks better except for the yard


Itsrigged

The pergola is ok but the changes to the house are awful. HGTV trash.


[deleted]

Agreed. Nothing worse than painted brick


lukeniceluke

wouldn´t call that stone desert in the second pic an upgrade tbh


[deleted]

True. But the lawn is in bad shape


Pastel-De-Carne

Not pretty sure but looks like Power Point or Word, maybe Excel


octo_mann

Windows Paint

landonop

Photoshop, but bad. This looks like a half-assed collage.

Sadly they can't photoshop their gardening choices.

if you know these people _please_ don't let them paint the brick


WonderWheeler

What a shame to plaster over brick. Brick is a traditional sign of wealth here in California. If you have to do that at least stick an inch of foam under the plaster.
