              Now, Adam, I said to myself "what a f*** beautiful and cool render this is"

              ...but then 2 things:

              1. IF the lighthouse is of "THIS" size, the other side of the image MUST be out of scale
              2. it is getting twilight - why is there no light in the lighthouse?

              But man, I really need to find these faults deliberately - the image is SOOO nice (otherwise).
              But you know - everyone is being picky here...

                You're absolutely right Gai on both points. I didn't realize how out of scale it is until you said that. I just inserted the lighthouse model into a scene set up by someone on the Modo forums to show volumetric light, rendered it and changed the color balance to a more dramatic look. The lighthouse should be a hell of lot larger.

                        Made some corrections..although it appears the dock may be tad too small now. Added a volumetric spotlight to the lighthouse as well.

                                I like the idea of trying to do these as little speed painting exercises of 20-30 minutes. With a little more confidence in the brushwork I can see these being done in 10-15 minutes. - No intermediate rendering engine involved - just a Sketchup base image + Painter X

                                      This is a quick example using an NprTools feature called "Soft Edges". This saves an image of the edge lines, a separate image with no edge lines, applies a pattern mask to the edge lines and blends them back into the no-edge image with 50% transparency. (This can easily be done in PhotoShop - NprTools just does it all in a single step)

                                      A chipboard watermark was applied as a SketchUp style before creating and blending the images.
