Background and sky play a huge role in your overall render aesthetic. A simple adjustment can make a big difference in your output. In most cases good sky selection sets the mood of an image. It can be gloomy, cloudy, or clear depending on what you’re trying to portray in your render.
In the freebies provided you have a variety of selection to choose from that will surely help you set the mood of your image. In this lesson you will learn the following to make your render look more professional.
Learn how to edit and add sky
Learn how to paint on the sky

Learn how to organize your layers that saves you time when revising
Learn how to maximize the usage of shortcut keys to do faster work
03 ADDING GRASS TEXTURE

Grass is usually taken for granted when being used as a foreground in the render. In most cases, the foreground takes away the attention from the building instead of creating a complementing role due to wrong color adjustment, lighting, shadow, and strong sharpness of the foreground. In this lesson I will share my techniques and steps on how to add proper grass texture that complements the overall aesthetic of your render.
Learn how to edit and add grass
Learn how to add lighting and shadow to improve grass foreground
Learn how to maximize the usage of “grass shaped” brush
Learn how to adjust the color of grass to match your base render

When we do our 3D models and exterior rendering we tend to forget the importance of the interior space, thus making our final renders empty and unrealistic. In this episode I will teach the student on how to create an imaginary interior space through masking and overlaying layers on top of the glass. Just imagine yourself filling up an empty glass of water with a rainbow.
This episode is all about beautification through various textures that you can apply in your own renders.
The student will learn the following:
Learn how to add glass reflection
Learn how to add interior texture
Learn proper usage of Lasso and Fill Tool
Create Clipping mask that links two layers together in which you can change the main texture anytime to experiment on your render
Learn how to use Clone Stamp Tool
Learn how to manipulate same image to expand texture
Learn how to organize your layers that saves you time when revising
Learn how to maximize the usage of shortcut keys to do faster work
06 ADDING TREES - PART 1

Aside from the obvious importance of trees, we usually put them into our renders to create a livelier aesthetic. Also, it helps us to visualize our architecture’s connection to how we coexist with nature. More often than not, tree/planter is the key to make your render complete. It also creates a sense of human scale. Adding trees can also make or break your final output. In this episode I will teach you on how to add and allocate trees properly that will surely improve your render post-production.
The student will learn the following:
Learn how to add tree
Learn the importance of rasterize and smart object
Learn to duplicate layers
Learn to add tree shadows
Learn to edit on the main layer itself without adding new layer on top (to save computer memory)
Create Clipping mask that links two layers together in which you can change the main texture anytime to experiment on your render
Learn how to use Clone Stamp Tool
Learn how to manipulate same image to expand texture
Learn how to organize your layers that saves you time when revising
Learn how to maximize the usage of shortcut keys to do faster work

Entourage is one of the most important parts of your rendering because it gives you a sense of human scale and connection. It also gives you a sense of direction to which part of your design you want to alter in the final post process specially in rendering. The key to making effective communication with your render is by creating a story from your entourage placement.
The student will learn the following:
Learn how not to get lost in rescaling the entourage with your render
Learn how to add human shadow
Learn to distort an entourage
Learn how to invert lighting and shadows
