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

        Pretty cool app, NPR renders still rule.

          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.

                            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).

                                    Can you post the original image?

                                      Nice david. yeah its so much better using a render rather than straight SU. SU to FS looks flat

                                      I thought i'd post this mistake, sorry its not fotosketcher but it looks cool.

                                      Chrome filter in photoshop....blending mode "overlay". Quite striking I think, not exactly sure why! I think it may work for adding movement streaks to cars/people.

                                        anyway, back to fotosketcher:

                                        tried some grungey overlays with this one. the colour bleeds look sweet so I added some in photoshop.

                                          Created 3 different outputs from Fotosketcher + original and brought them to Photoshop for mixing. Used various % and type of blending such luminosity and soft light. Finally added bleeding colour layer. I do not have exact info on how each file/layer was manipul;ated. It was purely visual.

                                            fotosketcher straight from sketchup,probably as pure a watercolour effect as I can get..In this image the house has a basic white colour only accentuated by the overlaying of colour.
