yep, that's the guy; can you direct me to where this might have been discussed? thx

[Dave R]

that's the only place it's been discussed that I know of.

[brokenkeys]

Sorry I can't help either. I only know where it is not how to do it.

Nor am I familiar with gimp. My firm forces me to use CS2

Hello everybody !
Sorry for up this old topic but I'm new and I'm very interesting in this special technique... But I need your help.
I'm french and I don't understand few words in this tutorial, and when I try to translate them, it gives me a very bad traduction.
In the first point, I don't understand "rubbed out heaps" what do we have to do in photoshop ? What does it mean ? And again in the third point "deleted heaps"
Then in the second point, what is "jitter lines" in skechup ?
Thank you for your answer.

Rubbed out heaps = erased a large quantity

Deleted heaps = deleted large quantity

Jitter is a style applied to edges under the styles dialog box

Rich beat me to it, but since I had already typed this... I repeat...

Translation: 'Rubbed out' is a way of saying 'Erased' [effacé].
'Heaps' is a way of saying 'A Lot' or 'Lots' [beaucoup].
So 'Rubbed out heaps' - is 'Erased a lot' [effacé beaucoup].
'Deleted heaps' is much the same [effacé beaucoup].
'Jitter Lines' is a 'Style' setting in Sketchup - not sure what the French phrase is...
This technique also uses 'Endpoints' set in 'Style' too...
