Sketchy Faces
-
I always wondered, why you can choose between loads of different sketchy styles for edges - the coloured faces however are precisely painted to the border, thus destroying the whole impression of handdrawn images.
sketchy faces would be the sensible next step. I think that would mean a huge programing effort, probably not possible with ruby at the moment.
a workaround for that would be to employ edge styles that contain this information (white, sketchy patches, that overlap coloured faces).I asume that templates for sketchy styles currently only use grayscale information (but not transparency, which would be necessary).
therefore my question: is it possible to write a script that minds transparency information for edge styles and therefore enables us to export entirely sketchy grafics (except shadows
) without any post processing?
(a very clumsy attempt to illustrate my words...
)I would very much like to hear what you think of that idea

I see what your saying (and at a guess id ay its not easily possible in ruby) but i dont thik itd be very useful to be honest. Most of the stuff ive seen is coloured to the edges, rather than leaving a border between the edge and line. Basicaly i tihnk itd jsut look a bit odd and out of place.

maybe you are right.
so the only way to get it convincingly sketchy is to change the faces (not reaching the borders in some places, overlapping them in others), together with a mask that fades out the frame of the picture smoothly (cp. Dennis technique).so I cant be lazy and have to use photoshop... until SU7?

There's always Piranesi, which trumps in most ways the various Styles possible in SketchUp and will work on faces. However, it's rather pricey and I frankly don't like its interface very much.
