What you will learn

You will learn how to Render any AutoCAD drawing inside Photoshop

Description

Welcome to Rendering AutoCAD Drawings in Photoshop.

Where you will learn how to convert a CAD floor plan into a beautiful colored one.   

My name is Youssef Zidan, Graphic designer and I will be leading you through the course,   

I graduated from the Faculty of Fine arts as an Interior Designer but soon transitioned to Graphic Design where I found my passion.   

I worked as a Graphic Designer for more than 5 Years, then I started teaching in local institutes, after that I thought it will be great to share my knowledge online, Where I found my second passion which is Teaching.   

I designed this course to teach you how to convert a CAD floor plan drawing to a beautiful colored layout.   

By the end of the course, you will be able to render ANY kind of CAD drawings, not just floor plans.   

We will start our journey in AutoCAD, I will teach you how to export your drawing with the right scale and extension in order to open it inside Photoshop, where the fun begins.   

We will start by learning the tools and options we are going to use, then we will learn some useful techniques like how to make a seamless pattern, using gradients, blending modes and much more, after that we will use what we have learned to make our final Design.   

The ideal students for this course are Graphic Designers who want to learn a new skill or of course Interior Designers and Architects.   

You need to have a light background in Photoshop if you have a background in AutoCAD that will be great but not necessary because in our course we will be focusing on Photoshop.   

I will be using Adobe Photoshop CC and AutoCAD 2017 yet, any closer versions for both Software are OK.

Feel free to watch the free lectures, and I will look forward to seeing you inside.

I don't have prior experiene using photoshop and wanted to use photoshop to render my CAD drawings. The content that was taught was comprehensive and taught at a good pace. After this course, I am confident that I will be able to produce more lively renderings with custom patterns, shadows and highlights. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see a coloured version of their cad drawings. This course taught me how to produce a rendering that help me visualize my own renovation designs for elevation drawings. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to pick up this new skillset and have a morning to kill.
