Once bought, it is very useful! Your constant Google searches for items in plan view don't have to happen anymore. Everything you could want is in an organized file, ready to be edited, copied, and pasted into your work. The vegetation inside of this pack is also beautiful and minimal, but extremely effective.
This course is really well-structured, starting with basic tips and finally arriving at the features that make the difference for an architectural image. I recommend this course. Thanks!
The package helped me to carry out my conceptual work for the Hospital Architecture specialty; it was an important element in the graphic representation.
Honestly, the course is packed! Maybe even a little too long for me at first haha. But I get it, there's a lot to learn in D5 and Post-production Photoshop! I appreciate that I can take it bit by bit though, which very helpful for someone with a busy schedule. The structure is nice, it doesn’t throw everything at you all at once, so I can always come back and pick up where I left off. That makes it way less overwhelming in the end. I'm really glad I signed up for this course!
Great info! The course makes learning D5 really easy, and it’s got a lot of helpful details. Overall, really good to have!
Excellent way to enhance your skills and knowledge with purposeful and intentional instructional steps.
An amazing course where you'll learn how to represent our plans aesthetically.
The course was easy to follow. It might be intimidating at first because of the number of steps to achieve an improved effect on an object but it is worth it once you see the end product.
I loved this course. I have taken two courses from Upstairs, and I don't regret it at all. I'm so happy with my results!
Amazing software and great class! Thank you!
I'm just finishing this course up now and honestly it's completely worth the money. It's so comprehensive and the attention to detail is fantastic. I tried another D5 course that was $40 or something and it was so bad that I didn't even finish it. This course is the real deal.
Just like all of the other courses, all shortcuts are shown on the screen and every step is clear. As someone who was migrating from Lumion, having a detailed course like this made this transition so smooth! I wish I had this course sooner. Thanks, Oliver!
Ideal for students!
Short time to learn, but a lot of knowledge gained.
Amazing pack! Definitely high quality.
This course was perfect. I enjoyed how you explained it very clearly. Hopefully, I will take the other course if there's another chance. Thank you, Upstairs.
Perfect for competitions.
I can truly recommend Upstairs and Oliver if you want to learn D5. Both the course and the software exceeded my expectations! So worth every penny. Oliver is amazing at teaching, and if there’s any new update, he adds it to the course. Very professional!
Great course! Comprehensive and efficient at the same time.
The course was great! In a few minutes, you can significantly improve your post-production skills. It's full of tips that will make your workflow faster. Awesome. I loved it!
The course was very intuitive and was complete in the topics covered. I really appreciated the module on post-production, very helpful!
I thoroughly enjoyed the Isometric Diagram Masterclass. The course content was clear, well-organized, and provided a solid foundation for both beginners and more advanced learners. The step-by-step approach, combined with real-world examples, made the complex concepts much easier to grasp. I especially appreciated the focus on practical applications, as it helped me see how these skills could be applied in professional settings. The visual aids and resources were top-notch, but perhaps more interactive exercises or assessments could further reinforce the concepts. Overall, this masterclass has significantly improved my understanding of isometric diagrams, and I look forward to more courses from Learn Upstairs!
This course is a very good starting point for anyone who is not familiar with InDesign. As someone who has used that software a limited amount of times, I feel that this course definitely sets up a great foundation before starting any layouts. I finished watching this course with a good sense of confidence and a clear direction to start exploring ideas of how I want to make my own portfolio. Thank you, Oliver!
These courses are incredible to increase your representation level. It is only a matter of dedicating a little time, but the tools that you acquire are many.
I took this course for my final project presentation. It was very helpful for me!
It's been a good course. I really enjoyed the lessons and the way you taught them. Thank you
A great course. Perfect for both beginners and those who want to learn a few more tricks. You will learn how to organize your workflow, and you will truly understand how masks, layers, and filters can maximize the potential of your images and renders. Totally worth it, for sure!
Detailed, articulate, and truly exceptional course!
A complete course that covers all aspects of ArchVIZ at a professional level, with great criteria, excellent taste, and refinement through post-processing. Very useful tips and tricks to achieve a rendering level in the style of VRay and Corona.
Really great refresher for Arch viz after a bit of a hiatus. It has helped me re-establish a good workflow.
Sincerely, everything was fantastic. Maybe some more free small cutout packs given would be perfect!
I bought the course knowing the bare minimum about Photoshop and Illustrator. Seeing a good workflow made the learning process much easier, not only from the software but from the concepts. I had already been following YouTube, and this course was pretty useful for deepening my knowledge. I like how it's taught with great synthesis power and incredible visual organization.
I specifically enjoyed how for this tutorial Oliver stuck to the ins and outs of InDesign and how to use it properly. I think this strategy works well mainly because each person has a different story to tell through their portfolio. Therefore, the tutorial only helps you know how to navigate InDesign and it doesn't really hinder your perception of how to do your portfolio. Also, I think the examples help inspire the audience, especially as we can see Oliver annotate and discuss the mistakes and great points of each portfolio. The extra material is great and I feel that the extra lessons with him are super useful.
I really liked this course. It was useful and to the point. I highly recommend it.
This course was exactly what I was looking for. It’s not just about learning the software, it’s way more than that. Lessons that really makes you think differently and express yourself better as an architect. Most courses just show you how to use the tools, but this one actually teaches you how to use them in a way that makes sense. You don’t really find that anywhere else. I finally feel like I can show my ideas the way I always wanted to.
It was a very well-structured course, especially for beginners. Speaking to myself, I'm an architecture student and I didn't have any experience with Photoshop and Illustrator. Also, I have always wanted to create diagrams, but I didn't know where to start. So, finding this course was a gift. If you want to learn the basics of these two programs and also diagrams, then this course is perfect. It's like killing two birds with one stone.
Sensational content. Straight to the point and with fundamental tips!
A wonderful course. Everything is clear and understandable. All the necessary techniques for creating plans and adjusting them are shown. In my opinion, you need minimal knowledge of Photoshop to complete this coursea.
Very valuable course for someone getting ready to create an architectural portfolio. The course focuses on the essential tools needed, as well as proper formatting. Highly recommend it.
This course is truly amazing. I have experienced many D5 courses, both online and physical, but none meet this quality. This course offers a deep understanding of D5 that even a beginner can catch up because of the clear and easy to understand explanation. Moreover, the post-production lessons are extremely helpful for those who have the basics of Photoshop but do not know where to start with architectural renderings.
Very useful pile of information that will definitely help me make my first job application portfolio.
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.
It really did exceed my expectations. The attention to various details is exactly what I wanted, and this course absolutely delivered that.
This material is exact and concise with content that is meaningful. The insights and explanations are outstanding. The level of detail is just right without distractions or unnecessary tangents. In addition, there are no plugs for buying the assets but those too are excellent and well worth the modest cost. I would definitely encourage a link to the store in the various lessons as those assets are amazing and add to the sophistication of the final projects. Thank you for the fantastic learning opportunity.
This Upstairs Pack has been a game-changer in my architectural workflow. It saves me hours of searching for high-quality, diverse cutouts and allows me to focus on the design itself. The variety of figures, especially the inclusion of people from different cultural and social contexts, helps me create more inclusive and contextually rich visualizations. I highly recommend it to architects, students, and urban designers looking to enhance the storytelling aspect of their design presentations.
I learned tips for rendering in vray and how to organize layers, add backgrounds, vegetation, textures, cutouts, light and so much more in Photoshop to make amazing compositions for our architecture projects.
The course covers the basics of InDesign in a way that is easy to understand. I also found it very helpful to see other examples of portfolios and see how the tips given during the lessons could be applied to my own portfolio. Overall, great course!
High-quality assets with great variety.
Awesome and I could even further say it is a perfect post-production course. I searched the whole of YouTube for over 5 years to find and learn about post-production architecture, but I could not get what I wanted, and now that I have headed up to Upstairs I am satisfied. Thank you!
Good quality product.
Outstanding! The way of explaining things is excellent. Feedback on the comments is on time and quick. I highly recommend this course!
I have bought multiple assets and all of the courses as the content is first rate and top notch. This content is consistently reliable and easy to use. Oliver is an excellent content creator and inspirational. Thanks for great materials at a more than reasonable price point.
This was such an awesome course, and I enjoyed doing every part of it. As someone who's never used Photoshop or Illustrator, let alone any sort of Adobe software before, this course provided me with a solid foundation, and I feel a lot more confident in my ability to use these tools in the future as I progress into my bachelor's later this year. I appreciate how incredibly informative and user-friendly the course was, which helped me grasp the concepts quickly. Thank you so much to Oliver and the Upstairs team for preparing this course!
Clear and concise course.
Really good course. It goes in depth on a lot of important topics.
Thank you for the course. In my opinion, it was well structured, almost all the points you tackled were explained thoroughly, and your pace was appropriate for absolute beginners (the video playback speed can be increased if people want a faster pace which is a nice feature). The course tackled the most famous types of diagrams and gave ample inspiration sources which is also a very good point.
Easy to use & adds life to illustration.
This course was exactly what I was looking for to begin learning Photoshop! I am currently an architecture student and was not too good at Photoshop. Still, I feel a lot more confident in my ability to create renderings using Photoshop for class projects and my work-study!
Good quality textures. It's the best starting library for a student or an architect that is building their own library. A lot of seamless high-quality textures for a good price.
A complete course, with technical and aesthetic concepts. It not only teaches the needed tools for creating a portfolio, but also explains important composition criteria. All of that explained with examples. Excellent course!
Highly recommended for post-production of architectural photos! Just found it here.
The course is a great fundamental guide for architectural illustrations. The step by step guide and emphasis on workflow has been very helpful for efficiency, and has helped me take my drawings to another level.
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.
It was a nicely structured course to teach you a lot of things about post-production in Photoshop. Maybe some more experienced artists will find it easy, but it was a great course for users new to the Photoshop side of things, well explained all the way.
Thank you a lot, Oliver, for this course! It's very simple and brilliant at the same time.
If you are looking for something that will make you improve your diagrams representation in a huge way, this course is exactly what you are looking for, and more. Oliver is an excellent architect and teacher. This course is perfect! It's made for architects, it's excellent and well-structured. He's leading you step by step so you will never have doubts at each point. It'll blow your mind with all the lessons.
Excellent and easy to use, it helped me with my axonometric diagrams for my Masters Thesis and the feedback from my professors were exceptional!
Very informative course!
Very helpful and seamless, which is exactly what I'm looking for in post-production textures.
This is a great course. I learned a lot.
As a student, I have to say that the course is a bit too expensive. I didn't mean the content is not worthy, cause it sure does. However, I think if the price could be lower or there were some discounts from time to time, it would be great. Appreciate the work.
I have been watching Oliver's tutorials since OU Graphics and it has always helped me, so for this reason I decided to try out the isometric masterclass and photoshop courses and without any doubt, it lived up to my expectations. It's packed with a lot of useful information and techniques. And I've been applying them to my drawing for a while now and I'm extremely happy with the workflow I've learnt from Upstairs.
It contains very good textures.
The course is great! Oliver is very clear and easy to follow. The course teaches you the software interface and also shows you different scenarios/projects to put what you've learned into practice.
Great quality work.
The most helpful course for Adobe photoshop post production!! You taught me many great shortcuts to make my life easier for PS workflow, thanks Oliver!
The course was great and really helpful, really appreciated the shortcuts that appear on the screen instead of just the audio as you can sometimes mishear things. Happy to have found that course when I'm still at the beginning of my visualization journey.
Great content, concise and well-paced.
Explains everything there is to learn about InDesign from an architectural standpoint and even goes further into giving us tips and tricks on how to improve our portfolios...GREAT COURSE OVERALL!
It improved the look of my work!
