The WET STREET LOOK
Sunday, October 31, 2010 The night renderings for the Jindu Project posted a couple of weeks ago had a cobble stone street that was Photoshopped to look wet. Adding a reflection such as this adds a bit more excitement to the image compared to leaving it flat. I have always liked architectural projects with large reflecting pools in front. In illustrations, rendering the parking lot or street wet can give you that same kind of look. The video below explains the pretty easy work flow of how to Photoshop a street to appear wet.
The final image

The Jindu Pavilion was designed by Paul Lukez Architecture. More on the project can be found HERE

Hi Ilario,
I had a post a while ago... http://www.alexhogrefe.com/blog/2010/10/10/exterior-night-rendering.html , which shows the Sketchup exported image, the Kerkythea base rendering, and the final post-processed image. It was the same work flow used as the Jindu pool rendering, but a little more tricky because of the night lighting.
Love your blog. For me, when I'm doing reflective shadows, I usually just copy the image and flip (horizontal or vertical) to create a mirror image which I then edit and darken to suit the image.
Hi Alex,
I am so glad I found your blog. Your skills are amazing and your work is truly amazing. When I try to to open the "Photoshop Rendering:wet street" video, it can't be opened due to copyright problems(UMG, EMI). Is it possible to upload or post a link for the tutorial video that can actually be watched? Thany ouy in advance.
Keep creating eyecandy,
Zoli
