      Just a quick sketchup; though not as quick as I had anticipated as there has been no survey, and thus no levels to work with which made the site very difficult indeed - there are areas of which I'd be embarrased to show you! haha

      Comments & critiques welcome πŸ˜„

      [edit] Added one more picture

        Beautiful... great details... like the birds on the wires. Although for some reason the car in shot two draws my eye to it. I might lose the car in #2 altogether. Great stuff though. the highlights and glare is great.

          You are absolutely right about that car, the only reason it was put there in the first place was to hide just how far out the door threshold is from the ground!..

          But then the view changed and I forgot to remove it. And this is exactly why it's always good to have someone else cast their eye over an image.

            Yeah I don't know why I'm drawn to it... the shot itself is great with the varying perspectives of the buildings and the swooping street. It's a great shot.

            Is this what they call a scheme in the UK?

              I would call it a scheme, yes. But I suppose it depends on whether or not we have different ideas as to what a scheme is. To me if someone says housing "scheme" it simply means "plan", and doesn't carry any other meanings such as "it's affordable" or "it's large", etc.

                I really love this kind of presentation. Is this all photoshop+fotosketcher?
                Whats your workflow?

                  Yeah it's all photoshop & fotosketcher, I've attached the original export. Though to achieve the effect I do export a few other passes such as one for sketchy lines, one for material ID's in photoshop and so on.

                  Scene 3 Original.jpg

                  The thinking behind doing it this way rather than in 3DS max & VRay is that it feels more "loose" and not necessarily fully designed which can often be to your favour when presenting to a planning committee, or a client. It gives the impression that things are still subject to change and that nothing is fixed; turning up to a meeting with full on photoreal images can sometimes work against you in that the client could end up thinking "oh sh*t, that's not what I wanted at all!". πŸ˜„

                    Beatiful work:

                    Do you want to sharing the settings of photosketcher?

                    Thanks in advanced

                        I would, but there's nothing special about my settings; I use a combination of the Oil Pastel preset, and the Watercolour preset blended together in photoshop. One (hopefully) last image to add;

                                Thanks for all the feedback guys. I suppose seeing as I couldn't really offer anything in the way of fotosketcher settings, here's what the image looked like with all the photoshop post production just before I ran it through fotosketcher...

                                Scene 4 post pro.jpg

                                And for comparison, the original sketchup export;

                                Scene 4 Original.jpg

                                Should probably mention that all these images are 3500px wide, I've had to scale them down because the forum was rejecting them.
