        Very nice indeed, wondering if this output can be obtained as a style?

          It would be possible to have the red background and sketchy lines as a style. An export using it could then be combined in an editor (or Xara of course) with, say, a corresponding Podium export to arrive at a similar result.

          Regards, Ross

            I just had an idea (ouch!)...

            I wondered what the 'SketchUp Bug' would look like if I just deleted the original LightUp export from the stack of images that was making up the rendering. That LightUp image was what was providing the red & yellow colours. All my other exports from SketchUp were monochromatic.

            Anyways, here's the effect when the coloured 'layer' is removed. I did have to edit a few of the shadow shapes I had added before because I had given them a red tone. I think what this experiment shows is you could always swap out (or eliminate) your colour layer to achieve multiple illustrations from the same exercise.

            This image actually is much closer in spirit to the style I had used in making it -- my 'Barked Monochrome' style available to FormFonts subscribers. The main difference is the various highlights & shadows I manually added help create a metallic look that isn't part of the original style.

            Regards, Ross

              Looks good Ross, especially with the additional highlights and shadows. I will have to check out how you can create those in PS.

                I love the monochrome look of the image, brightened up by the coloured scf-logo.

                that is really nice, because it leads the spectator's eye directly to the most important: SCF! 😄

                      If you just put a real SketchUp logo onto it, Ross, you could even sumbit it for the bugsplat logo of SU 7!
