As promised here is another, for this one I didn't do the rendering just tried to make it appropriate to the project use.

An here is one for a subdivision she is marketing, just a bit of SU in this for the trees, I know it is not appropriate to rendering styles but aims to provoke thought about creating a theme for each individual project based on the style and how each project may be better served by considering this.

And one of my own for a project

Dennis,

Thank you. Showed our boss your renderings and we are now trying to apply it to some of our projects.

The attached is a first pass. Still has a bit of a sketch feel. I want to try and cast shadows from edges to get some more line work on the ground from the shadows being cast of the trees. That and thinner lines going back into the image.

Comments are welcome.

Again, thank you

Daniel

here is something that goes against all the tutorials that I wrote.

A little Dennis, a little Bajan, and a little Richard, all in the mix.

This is good stuff, super simple, super fast. No more cartoon renderings!

Here is my photoshop layer stack:

B&W w/ Shadows (erase layer): Normal / Opacity 100%

B&W w/ no shadows: Multiply / Opacity 35%

OVERSTRIKE (99 extensions): Multiply / Opacity 20%

TRANSPARENT (xray mode): Screen / Opacity 100%

MOTION BLUR (Bajan settings): Overlay / Opacity 100%

COLOR (dennis settings): Normal / 100%

Sky (Dennis settings): Normal / 100%

I love Dennis' white tree technique, but these trees were too tricky. I ended up spending more time than I should with various layers, because the process is fun. Still cheaper than our renderer :).

Feels a little more 1970's marker style than Dennis' watercolor style. Works for the building.

Hey Alex,

Please find attached the richard technique... it is already on this thread.. its just got so big its begininng to find stuff difficult anyway here it is + layers

Best Regards,

Brian C.

just saw, that Dennis is still visiting this Thread. I wanted to thank for this nice technique that i used to achive my diploma. It worked perfectly and theese are my first attemps. It took just an 1hour/Pic all together with SU and putting everything together ready to print.

I simplified the method a little, without the extensions-line picture, because of lack of time.

Any comment from the Master?

Marcin,

Great aplication. You are the one of very few who understands how to use color.

the roof has a bit too much contrast, and elevations may use a some b&W context on the right side. And I assume that the grey tree on the 3rd image is an oversite.

Great work Marcin, you got what it takes to produce great work.

Dennis

Thanks a lot for the good critscs. I did't expect to hear words like this form you, dennis. But i have to pass the honor for this all back to you and the forum, as it took few to produce stuff like this. I just read everything on this thread carefuly. That's all.

The grey tree is the top overlay of 3 overlayed renderings form SU (white with shadows, white and colored with shadows), in the others the tree was hidden. The layer opacity was set up in PS and some masking led to this vivid result. As i told already i spent just few minutes on each pics, as i had to hurry.

The whole concept of the overall presentation and positioning of the renders maybe give a clue, why i used the colors and contrasts that way. Another Pics are attached and for those who want to see the whole story

Hej Dennis

Many thanks for your inspiration and tips, that gives in an rather easy way a new dimension to the SketchUp works, attached image is made up in SketchUp as a 3D model just from a photo, and with pages for color-texture, lineart and lineart with shadows all out from your tips, -and than handed over in Photoshop.

Thanks Dennis

Hej All With the same tips from Dennis, and with a gradient layer for the night sky

The model is made up in SketchUp from a photo

Fantastic images, Olle. Thanks for sharing! Am about to head off to the Education forum and have a look at those tips...

In the meantime, here's my attempt at an outdoor scene. Any tips or opinions welcome.

Rob -- your image is one of the best uses of SU's sketchy line style I've ever seen. I really like how you kept things simple. Most of us go way to far and in my opinion we overdo things. In that I find your drawing very inspirational.

Thanks!
