      Nice work and presentation. What renderer are you using and what is your line overlay workflow (I do this occasionally but it is often a pain).

        Thank you.
        I'm using Thea and Indigo, this one was rendered with Indigo. My workflow for the line overlay:

        • Save a scene to be able to get back to the same view direction
        • Export a sketchy line image (3000-6000 px width for thinner lines)
        • Use an image editor and overlay with "multiply" layer, increase the transparency if needed

            Pbacot´s question about your used renderer interested me already.
            Is it Thea Studio or Thea for SketchUp? - I like this somehow
            "grainy" look, seen in almost all your works.

            ...and what is your line overlay workflow...

            to Cotty´s workflow I would like to add the recommendation that I usually fix any desired standard SkUp 2D export resolution (width x height) first. Exactly this resolution (or at least this ratio) I then use for the render resolution setting within my renderer, to have very little mounting effort in PS or GIMP. Everything fits automatically. After that I crop to the desired image size...

            never trust a skinny cook

              I don't think there's a difference in the Render engine?

              The source for the grainy look is my impatience to wait for a nicer render result 😉

                Do you have to scale the linework image? Also I often seem to have a different image. It may show more or less of the scene at the edges.

                  Yes, the rendered image is much smaller and I scale down the line export.

                    Very nice 👍 maybe practical soon with 3d printing, you need a patent quickly before IKEA catch on 😛

                    That's an impressive gallery you have.
