This tutorial focus on the plan rendering techniques from Rhino to Photoshop. The rendering type in the tutorial is clay rendering. The clay rendering from OctaneRender in Rhino can be used as a base for the advance rendering in other program such as Photoshop. The model in the tutorial is Winton Guest House.
- Change the model to plan view, then open Sun panel and OctaneRender panel.
2. Open the view port in OctaneRender panel. In the Sun panel, we can adjust the sun condition such as different times of the year, different times of the day, and geo-location. In OctaneRender panel, under the Environment options, we can also change Sky Color and Sunset Color. Adjustment to saturation is important since we need the best way to highlight and express our model.
3. We can also adjust the resolution. The resolution setting is under the Film Settings options.
4. After all the settings, wait until the Pixel reach/over 500. Then we can save the view port as a Png image and name it Plan Raw.
5. In order to make the wire frame of the plan rendering, we can use “Make2D” command to generate the wire frame of the plan. On the automatic layer Make2D, the lines are generated.
6. Select the wire frame of the plan, under the File menu, click on the Export Selected button. Then choose the file type as Adobe Illustrator to export.
7. Open the Png image in Photoshop, use Place Embedded function to embed the wire frame in Illustrator, and adjust it to the right scale. We can make adjustment of stroke and color in the Illustrator file so the Photoshop file will update as well.
