Excellent Pete
For the render/line overlay, what was the studio setup?
-
I used Thea, posed in SU, exported the line image, opened same camera in Thea, added shadow catcher inifite plane, added HDRi image for reflection and white background (just a white .jpg I created in PS)
Combines using 'multiply in PS...done. -
It was the White BG that i needed to know. Was the infinite plain a Diffused White? I really like that setup
-
It's Odie, from Garfield.
-
Very cool Toon Dog
Does the new SDS2 has a Points/faces/polygons counter visible on the screen? -
Nice dog.
Well done Pete,
Crits? Too many polys (but its OK here) much stretching on ears area, not the best for UVs. -

...exported the line image...
I've never figured how to do this...
Please enlighten us mortals...
If I export a line image, the background will not be transparent... -
I presume he sets the blend mode to overlay in Photoshop? That's what i do anyway
-
@michal, Poly count is no issue, I dont mind high poly models, I use a studio renderer so that hurdle is overcome. I used FFD on ears so yes I stretched the mesh.
@Frederick and Rich, I use a white background when rendering so exporting SU lines with a white background actually helps, in PS I use 'multiply' for blend, makes lines pop better.

if you export a tiff or png which support transparency then click 'transparent background' in the export options.
[though i'm thinking this may be a mac only feature?]
-
Mac only...
See, there is a reason for owning a Mac.
-
What is it? You can it disappear into the BG

Cheers, Pete...
Just thought you had a trick in your sleeve to export the lines with transparent background, but blending using 'multiply' works just fine...Edit: I knew I had seen somewhere that you're able to get transparent background on a Mac...
Well, well... thomthom's Export 2d with Alpha can make similar png's for us depending on Windows...
Unfortunately only the background will be transparent and not objects (not even if you paint them in the same color as the bg)... -

Multiply works fine, no need for transparent background.
If you want transparent or semi transparent exports (lets say window glass etc) apply a strong color (pure magenta or green) then use it as mask in Ps. A nice way for fake reflections in PP. -

Actually, that is no longer true. I think since they re-built the SU render engine in 7.1, PC has been able to export transparent png's.

Please elaborate and post some screen shots, Chris...
Cause I sure can't find this in the option menu...
I've tried both tif and png - and I don't see any option for selecting transparent background...@frederik said:

Really Frederik, you don't need this much. You may need to mask some glass windows too, transparency doesn't help much there. Try to assign a pure green or magenta instead. Ps can do miracles this way. From a mac user anyway.
-
I know, michalis...
I can make incredible things in post pro with PS for Win...
I also know about the work arounds, but if I can avoid them, it would be great...Chris F. states that transparent background is possible with SU for Win since ver. 7.1 but I can't find how/where, hence my question to Chris to post some screen shots...
Well, well... I don't want to hijack this thread...

-
This is bizarre - is it seriouslly not possible? I swear I've done this a dozen times in the last week. Even wierder is I'm sure it was Gaieus who corrected me last time I said the same thing as Solo. I think I'm experiencing early onset dimentia. I suddenly am unsure of everything.
I'm on vacation now and I don't have access to SU at the moment. So when I can play with SU, I'll test it. so weird.......
