Hello,

I am looking for software that will allow me to design roofs of different colors and materials from a photo of a house.

Of course, the software must be as user-friendly as possible.

Thank you in advance for your responses.

Hello,

It seems (I say it seems because I have never tried it but have read a lot about it) that very advanced things can be done with this free software: https://www.commentcamarche.net/telecharger/photo-graphisme/11309-sketchup/

While searching the site of the house I showed you earlier, I found that they offer to download their SketchUp model, so if you please, you can use SketchUp as Luke suggested and come change the material and color, but you'll need textures for each material/color.
Here is the link to the site

I believe you won't find better, even I in the field of illustration didn't expect to find such a result.

The results you could get with Photoshop without mastering it would be more of a DIY approach.
Good night :)

Hello,

Do you have Photoshop, or GIMP with which you can modify the color and insert a fake roof on a house from real photos to make a simulation...

If this is what you're looking for, let me know and I will give you more details... :D

Or are you looking for illustration software (not necessarily realistic)
like this?
