Learn With Guided Video Tutorials
Our interactive and info-packed video course will guide you through the process of rendering plans from start to finish. Learn how to import your raw drawings from CAD to Photoshop, discover how to add color, textures and shadows, and render floorplans, elevations, sections and site plans to your unique specifications.
Design With Real-World Examples
As an architect, you work hard to develop concepts to complex problems within a built environment. The medium to transmit your vision and designs is your plan. That means your plans have to look awesome. In our course, you will get tons of advice, tips and tricks for creating aesthetic and exceptional architectural drawings. Persuade your clients and win competitions with RenderPlan's awesome plan graphics.
Triple Your Design Speed
How much is your time worth? If you’re like most architects, your time has by far the most value in the design process. But most of that precious time is spent developing building concepts and designs. All too often, plans are rushed off, just before a deadline. RenderPlan cuts away the unnecessary fluff you get in most training courses so you can learn more quickly and spend that time you saved on your designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you use Photoshop?
We think Photoshop is the best program available for enhancing architectural drawings. Architects will often use a range of CAD programs to draw their projects – but when it comes to presentations, most offices will use Photoshop. The course uses Photoshop CC, but you can still follow along with any of the program’s earlier versions.
What format is the course in?
The course is in a series of video screencasts, all between 2 and 15 minutes long. We try to break each topic down into bite-sized lessons so that you can learn wherever you are, and we have also included a number of materials and case studies for you to learn through practice. When you buy RenderPlan, the full course is instantly made available to you, which means that you can move through the individual lessons at your own pace.
Will I get free updates?
Yes! This course is not static and we will always have more content to add. Everyone who buys RenderPlan will get free updates for one year.
Do you offer refunds?
Of course! If you aren’t happy with the course, just write to us in within 14 days of your purchase and we’ll refund your money in full. All we ask is that you tell us what you didn’t like – that’s the only way we can improve RenderPlan for future students. Though you aren’t obligated to answer in order to get a refund.
