      This was done with the latest version of FotoSketcher which has an "Old Photo" setting. The line style is one that I made.

      The model was drawn by someone else although I did some tweaking to the geometry and the way materials are drawn. He supplied the material which I think looks good but is a bit large. It's not long enough, though so I didn't scale it down. It didn't look good scaled in width alone either so I left it alone.

          Thanks.

          I am going to build myself one of these chairs and sit in it with a good book and a glass of fine scotch in front of a fireplace. πŸ˜„ The wide armrests are perfect for holding a drink.

            wood + scotch + fire = crispy Dave

            I'd like the settings for that image. Does it include a watermark? Or is it a .style?

              Rich, it would be only a little bit of scotch as I can't afford much of the good stuff. πŸ˜‰

              I'll have to look at the model and at FotoSketcher when I get home to see if I can tell you what the settings are. The only .style I used is one of my new line styles. I started in FotoSketcher with the image below.

                That image looks great Dave. Sometimes, when well done, (as in this case) all one needs is SketchUp and a good style and maybe FotoSketcher to produce really eye catching results πŸ‘

                  Thank you Mike. I agree with you.

                  I'm always impressed with the photo-realistic renders I see here but I really have little interest in making them myself. I much prefer images like this.

                    If that is scotch on the rocks, you may get some watermarks you don't want. On the wood. Wet glass rings on oak produce a nasty, impossible to erase mark. So enjoy the scotch, but don.t but the wet glass on the arm.

                        ...... I am afraid we are 'old school' Dave, going back to the days of 'workarounds' for glass transparency πŸ˜†
