      I've been using it for about a month now, and it is pretty cool.

                  Yes, Fotosketcher is superb! like davidh in his watercolour thread did, I get more realistic DWC results when rendering twice with FC.

                  HFM: although this is about Fotosketcher, this link is great, thanks!

                    This one was my first attempt with FotoSketcher. I thought it was worth testing how not to use Photoshop ๐Ÿ˜’
                    just Twilight output to FC to SU here...

                        no SketchUp here, just playing with FotoSketcher (and a bit of Photoshop) to modify this image taken by a friend...

                            Some local editing ( erasing to white space, some finger painting, ...) were done in Photoshop, but nothing extensive, really quick 5 min photoshop session

                                Hey Oli
                                I notice your running Leopard, but can't find a .dmg version just .exe, are you running Windows on your mac, or am I missing the mac version?
                                This looks like great software. Thanks for the post.

                                  wow, solo you have changed your profile pic!! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

                                  dale, i am running windows 7 via vmware fusion. you can use bootcamp too...but with vmware you can instantly switch between windows and mac, its sooooo easy. There comes a time when you just need windows! cant be exclusively mac forever!

                                  just like opening another application:

                                    quick try with a section.
                                    3 jpg exports - hidden line, profiles turned off, 'normal' sketchup view.

                                    fotosketch each of them.
                                    assemble in photoshop by layering.

                                    would work better as an exterior, with some shadows, trees, landscaping... but a cool process.

                                      Yeah I have to agree. I'm looking at a new macbook pro, and pretty much convinced to add fusion. Anyone I know who uses it loves it. Glad you agree, it makes the decision easier.

                                        Sorry to be a fanboy but Fotosketcher is really cool in my opinion. What can I say, I suck at rendering! If you are on Facebook I have an example http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?pid=1836523&id=665888847&fbid=80713438847

                                          @ Oli,

                                          Thanks for starting this thread! I really prefer your Fotosketcher image to your rendering in the first post...nice work.
                                          Thanks to this forum and Boofredlay, I discovered Fotosketcher a few days ago. 4 of my friends and colleagues are now using it...it is indeed a fun, easy to use piece of software and you can beat the price.

                                          Here's some photos that I took that were pretty much throwaways until I ran them through the FS watercolor filters.
