Ricardo Eloy Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 Hi, there! Months ago, we answered a poll about NPR images. It made me try some techniques to achieve that kind of result out from my regular renderings. Back then, I developed a pretty simple way of getting it done, and now I got the time to put it in the shape of a tutorial. The technique itself is really, really simple, and it gives you space to release the artist that lies in you Anyway, you'll find it here After you read it, let me know what you think, ok? This is only my second tutorial (my first was on ArchiCAD), so be gentle, ok?

@lkion O Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 This is a great tutorial Rick!Thanks for postin it. How long did it take you to develop the idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Eloy Posted January 31, 2003 Author Share Posted January 31, 2003 Hey, guys! Thank you all for your support! @lkion O, this idea was "developed" really fast. I sat here after reading and answering that poll about NPR months ago and started to play around with Photoshop. You see, the idea is really, really simple (so simple that I had second thoughts about making a tutorial out of it). I know the tutorial is crude, but I promise to make better ones in the future (in case I make more!). Thank you! BTW, feel free to post your tips and techs on how to make NPR's here! I'd love to see how you guys solved this kind of situation! Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergio Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 Hi Rick, this tutorial is really work of art, congrats!!! While I was reading the tutorial, one idea came to my mind: If you, before you start with any operation, start recording an action, you might, theoretically, make a button to transfer you CGI 3D to traditional 3D in just couple of seconds. I hope that this might help, to speed up our already hard work. Regards Sergio! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Eloy Posted February 9, 2003 Author Share Posted February 9, 2003 Hey, Sergio! Thank you for the comps! That would really be interesting, but the thing is that you can't make it automatic exactly because it's the art feeling that you want to achieve. That so, making this am "action", you loose every personnal touch you can achieve with the manual way. Right? And, of course, every image is different, so it's almost impossible to create an action that fits every image.... [] Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Eloy Posted February 20, 2003 Author Share Posted February 20, 2003 Hey, you guys! I had some problems with my server, so the tutorial was offline. I just moved it to a new server, hope it works! TUTORIAL [] Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Oi Rick! Thanks for the tutorial! It helped a LOT!!! I have clients that simply dont understand 3D images and only traditional renderings techniques. So this is the way to pleased them all!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Eloy Posted March 29, 2003 Author Share Posted March 29, 2003 Hey, guys! Just an update here. In case you don't speak english very well (or it's not your first language), my good-old tutorial is now available in russian :???: . Yes, it sounds weird, but a guy named Vadim Horyakov translated it into russian and published it on his website. You can visit it here This is the power of CGArchitect, my friends!

Ricardo Eloy Posted May 3, 2003 Author Share Posted May 3, 2003 Yes, it's up and running. Of course, you'll notice the server is not all that, with the pictures taking forever to render on the screen, but it still works. If they don't appear at first, right-click them and select "Show Image". Thanks! [] Rick CORRECTION: The new link for this tutorial is HERE Cheers!

Paul Griger Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Originally posted by Rick Eloy: Yes, it's up and running. Huh, sorry, but i get the message "can't find server" for any of your tut links, minus the russian one. So i copied the russian one and ran it through Bablefish for the english translation Anyways, i did the tut and it was a big help, thx! I posted my attempt with your tut in the finished section.

Ricardo Eloy Posted May 3, 2003 Author Share Posted May 3, 2003 Weird...I just accessed it thru the link on your quote and it worked fine.....Internet: I'll never understand it... If you want, I can send you the original file via e-mail. BTW, I saw the image you mentioned. I loved the idea of adding the sketch render from ArchiCAD to it, very nice!

Paul Griger Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Hi Rick,,If you could email me the file that would be wonderful. The AC line touch worked pretty well, thx. I have yet to try AC 8, I think it has a squiggle feature that would be nice to try out though. Thx, paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Griger Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 rick, we'll i was able to get to your tutorial today, go figure. I was glad to see some items that i missed because of the Bablefish translation. Anyways, i posted the link at the ArchiCAD forum @ escribe.com and there were a few people that liked your tutorial and were going to try it out.
