ronll Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 http://www.djc.com/stories/images/20090716/WSU_Riverpoint_BiomedBuilding_big.jpg At first glance of course it looks like pen and marker or water color or something. But the perspective construction suggests a computer generated base, then looking at the trees, they are all the same shape. Is it a computer image with hand work overlay? Is it a collection of Photoshop techniques? Or is there software that generates a final image with this look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clanger Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 No idea really but I'd guess All Photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronll Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 But notice that the trees are all the same. Somehow a computer was involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Hansen Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Maybe a combo of Sketchup and Piranesi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughie Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 My best guess would be either sketchup or autodesk impression with a PS for good measure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Hansen Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Definitely could be Autodesk Impression. I remember playing around with it when it first came out and had similar style available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic H Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 hmm i didnt notice that, probably a rendering from the future tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronll Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Next question is, ...Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAllusionisst Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Uuuuhhh, straight SketchUp using a style? Seriously I think that is all it is. Why? In house designer just uses his SU model for a rendering, bad news for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianKitts Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 In house designer just uses his SU model for a rendering, bad news for us! Actually I favor our designers utilizing sketchup to get through all the preliminary development BS. Saves us from doing numerous rounds of revisions, and then once a design gets set, then we take over their model and render it to an advanced level. You just need to be diligent about keeping a watchful eye over what styles they are using to keep a constant/quality sketch look throughout the design process.

Nic H Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 good news until an architect tries to give you a design development model and says render it, make your animation, i modelled it all for you...it wont cost for modelling laughs all around.

fecheck Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Hey, just got in the forum, well for the question i gess is sketch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 There was a thread on this sort of rendering in Sketchup and Photoshop a long time back. Essentially, you export graphics from Sketchup in different "styles" - a layer that's just the sketchy lines, another that's just white material with shadows, another that's just color. Comp them in Photoshop by putting the color layer first, then the shadow and line as multiply layers (opacity to taste) and selectively erase from the different layers. You can do the trees as another layer and apply a brush strokes filter to them. You get the idea, be creative with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAllusionisst Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 good news until an architect tries to give you a design development model and says render it, make your animation, i modelled it all for you...it wont cost for modelling laughs all around. Exactly right and everything is on layer "0", no groups or components, reversed faces everywhere and just plane bad modeling. It is usually a nightmare and easier to model it from scratch from CAD drawings. We typically tell clients we will model from scratch unless they want more/refined SU presentation work and then we will put time in there to salvage or remodel it in SU. Then there is a bit of a pain tranfering into Max and ending up with an organized and decent sized file...... Glad the process is working out for Brian though!

M V Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Yep - thats 100% SketchUp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clanger Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Yep - thats 100% SketchUp. Really? I had no idea SketchUp could produce this style of render I like it. Never used or even thought of using SketchUP maybe I'll give it a closer look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Homeless Guy Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 The line work on the building does not look as though it was generated in SketchUp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinsley Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 The line work on the building does not look as though it was generated in SketchUp. I think it might be generated using SketchUp's new style creator... you can scan in your own line work and have SketchUp apply it to your profiles/ edges...

TheAllusionisst Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 In the past I have rendered out a hand style line work image from the same camera as my colored/water colored image. This way you can take the images into PS and you could erase some of the colored image and have black line work below show up and use the line work on top of the image and use the "darken" blending mode to get stronger line work in the image. So even if it isn't 100% SU, the steps to get the image in post work is pretty simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
