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

            Nice one Marek! What exactly were the modifications in Photoshop?

              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!! 😮

                    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.

                              I really like this image! Care to post the original and your settings in FS?

                                Not sure if this works or not...took a photo of the fields, sky and tree line behind my house...ran it through FS. The used it as a billboard backdrop behind a SU model.

                                  I've been playing around with it. Very Fun!

                                    Thanks Marek, finger painting is what I suspected. A watercolor painting has sharp and and blurred details at the same time, this is what makes your picture look so realistic.
                                    I tried to achieve this with the color blending of the bilateral filter in FS. This one is first watercolor and then median + bilateral. Warehouse model, just a few passes in Twilight.

                                          Fotosketcher again-Rendered in twilight(it could have been taken directly from sketchup but I wanted the lighting and some reflection).
                                          Also added was a textured watercolour paper,slightly stained(not one of the default fotosketcher textures).
