Very well-paced and organized, gradually increasing in detail while guiding you through all the technical aspects of D5. An amazing course for anyone looking to level up their archviz knowledge. Thank you to Oliver and the Upstairs team for the outstanding work!

D5 Render: Visualizing Architecture

Very in-depth course that will improve all of your plans. Teaches the basics like patterns, shadows, fills & Ai + Ps skills, all the way through to tiny details. All of which help your plans emphisise the architecture in a clear, readable way.

This course is exceptional and provides tools, tips, and techniques that are systematic and easy to build toward mastery in a logical manner. Foundations are established and excellent workflow habits are encouraged at each step of the process.

If you were like me, a person who knew nothing about the importance/power of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, this course will teach you so much. The level of depth and experience of Oliver and the team at Upstairs, is absolutely amazing. Not only do they teach about how to manage computer software, but they also instruct about the profession of architecture, the reason we are even here, to begin with. The amount of work, patience, and drive is self-evident in their work, and I as a student, appreciate it so much. I've also looked around for similar content on the web, and nothing compares to the work at Upstairs.

I have followed many InDesign courses but this one is the most complete on the market. The information provided and the method of communication is clear and direct. The examples shown are of great help in understanding how to approach the design of an architectural portfolio. The presence of subtitles in different languages is very useful to fully understand each concept. This course should be compulsory in every architecture school to have a clear idea of how to effectively show each project.

InDesign for Architects: All about Portfolios!

I would really like to thank the tutor and his entire team for creating this course. I have always struggled with creating interesting looking architectural plans in the past, but never could understand where to begin from. With this course, I did indeed learn a lot of new techniques regarding smart moves through different software, a non-destructive workflow and most importantly 'Architectural Presentation Style'. Just a few & simple edits to a CAD plan can really improve your drawing. I think that subtlety is the key here. Thank you again. Cheers!

Everything about how to create architectural renders in Photoshop from scratch to a level where you can able to do anything. Most importantly one can learn how to categorise the layers which does not disturb the workflow. Totally loved it.

Super easy to follow, and all files were provided. In the end, there is a recap of all the shortcuts used in the video, which I found to be really helpful.

Love it. Thank you so much. Really like your clear language of words and teaching style. Very well organized and structured the lessons. The graphics during the lessons like screen zooming, pop up words, highlight, underline, shortcut legend, and emphasizing other important elements are fantastic!

I first heard about D5 through Upstairs, so I was anxiously awaiting this course. And I must say that it exceeded my expectations! The course guides you from key concepts—like applying materials with realism, and creating nice surroundings - but also, more experienced users will be pleased to find out about UV mapping and AI tools!!! Plus, not to mention the post-production module that provides that crucial touch that makes a significant difference in your final results. A big THANK YOU to the Upstairs team!
