The illustration in this tutorial was used for a competition that another student, Jeff Kruth, and I worked on a few years ago in grad School. The video explains the work flow used to add tall grass to an otherwise dull Kerkythea rendering. Some important things to pull from this video are how default Photoshop brushes can be used to get rid of the clean edge lines left over from the rendered image. In this case, a default grass brush in Photoshop was used to soften the edges of the landscape. The burn and dodge tools were used to add shadows and highlights to the vegetation.
In order to cut down the length, I didn’t really take my time with the clipping and making selections. Normally, this would be done a little more carefully and precisely. The base rendering isn’t at a very high resolution either. The video moves pretty fast, but there is a lot of information I am trying to fit in a small amount of time. You may have to use the pause button quite a bit.

Just want to say thanks for all the help your tutorials have given me. You got me started on Kerkythea, and I’m now realising what’s possible with Photoshop to take things to the next level.
Cheers!
I’ve watched with full of admiration 🙂
That was awesome, thanks a lot for the tutorial!
What do you touch, what’s the keyboard shortcut when you select inverse, and that grass gains shape into the first selection before selecting inverse?
help me a lot. thank you very much! I wonder if you could put out the materals that you uesd in the work, it’s really awesome, I can’t find those material as good as yours. By hte way, it confused me a lot, how to deal with the shadow of material?
you follower from China
Is there a video? It crushed…. I can’t find it
Really good tutorial and really good music. I’m becoming such a big fan of your work.
From an architecture student, thanks for this.
Thanks a lot Alex. I’m just beginning to learn viz. At some point you merge down layer 3 to 1, was that done to control them 2 together?
forgive my late coming
Thanks a lot !

Do you have a spam issue on this site; I also am a blogger,
and I was curious about your situation; many of us have created some nice
methods and we are looking to trade methods with others, be
sure to shoot me an email if interested.
Using this is 2017. Can’t say how helpful this is. THANK YOU for taking the time to make these.
Great Video! what is the grass texture/picture you used at the begining? Is it a picture of a wheat field or some other plant?
Thanks!
AMAZING MAN !!
I use this approach for the grass on a recent rendering. It’s a great way of getting around the limitations of Revit grass.
