Fun with FotoSketcher...

Boofredlay inspired me to play with FotoSketcher . It is addictive!! Amazing that it is FREE!

I attach a FotoSketcher produced image that features a model of a wooden clock by angusog that is available on Google's 3dWarehouse here . The image uses FotoSketcher's watercolour preset with some adjustments. I'm really pleased with the monochromatic effect and think the style has potential for architectural subjects.

Regards, Ross

Thanks Luca for noting the error. I've corrected it now in my posting.

If you don't want to pay for PS then use Gimp.

What does that have to do with anything? Just for fun how about you download the clock model (linked above) and try to duplicate the effect achieved using fotosketcher using Photoshop and/or Gimp? I suspect the challenge will be relatively tough compared with just doing it in fotosketcher.

Ross, that's very good, I like the look of that.

Fotosketcher is getting more and more attention. I noticed a tutorial or 2 at SketchupArtists.com recently. Not only that the author keeps improving Fotosketcher with every version.

I had to try it in Photoshop, with filters of course. It's not quite monochromatic as yours, my eye works differently I guess. Best,PK

Peter - your photoshop'd versions of the clock look great!

OK, a fast five min PP using gimp. Two 2d SU raw outputs combined (opposite lighting). Background color mess using zbrush paintstop.

Looks good Michalis. I like the rusty steel effect.

Does Gimp support photoshop-compatible plugins?

Fantastic!

Thanks, gimp is an app that looks like Ps but ther are some differences. There are lot of tutorials around.

You need the Gimp plugin [pspi.exe] search in http://registry.gimp.org/search/node/pspi that loads/uses most PhotoShop plugins [.8bf]...
