http://articles.sitepoint.com/article/photoshop-fade-layer-mask shows how to 'fade' an image with a layer mask
You can make two scene tabs one with full rendered color and the other in white + lines and no shadows etc.
Import them both with the line as an overlay [erase all of the white so you see the colored version below].
Add the fade layer mask to 'vignette' the colored part as you have done...

The Dave_R Method

[Dave R]

Thank you Bryan.

Rich, here's the "Dave_R Method" tutorial. Open both images. Poke at this button. Try that slider. Make a new layer. Delete that layer. Make a new layer. Try this tool. Merge layers. Hit Ctrl+Z many times. Save.

WARNING: Genius at Work

Do you use PhotoShop?

[Dave R]

Well, I have Photoshop Express because it came with the Intuous4. and "use" is not quite the right word. I ought to take a class or something.

[Rich O Brien]

You'd take to it like fish to water. Give the trial a go. Or even GIMP or this

[Dave R]

Thanks, I'll check that out. I've got Paint.NET that I muddle through with, too.

Hi Dave,

This idea to make this rectangular face at the and of the path and extrude it with pushpull tool is excellent

This complete tutorial ( Stopped Curved Chamfers ) can greatly simplify the process of carving a panel!!
