      Here's one I finished just now. It's also for the upcoming issue of the book. Not a particularly exciting project, just a building (The Stanford Bioengineering Building), but I think it came out nicely.

        Time for another update with another model from the upcoming issue. This is an upscale Mexican restaurant in SoCal with an outdoor area.

              I've been experimenting with a new rendering technique that is supposed to emulate a comic book style. Here are a few of the results, some of them only with shading, some of them colored:

                                Thank you, pbacot! That's an awesome idea, but I don't know if it could ever come to fruition. And I personally am only involved in the making of the 3D models and renders. Though with the new rendering technique I've been working on (examples above) that emulates a comic book style, that might change.

                                  Yes. I love the style with the black fills and washes. How do you do that? Is any of it involved with setting colors to define areas in SketchUp image that you send to PS?

                                    I feel the same way πŸ˜„ - just because this world is such a "thing of its own" and certainly so unusual for the most of us here...
                                    Anyway, it's cool to have a look at it here πŸ‘

                                      I'm glad you like them!

                                      The images that are shaded-only (black and white) are created by combining two layers. The first is the exported linework from Sketchup, which has been edited in Photoshop to look more like hand-drawn lines. This is what it looks like on its own:

                                      https://i.imgur.com/PIV54am.jpg

                                      The second layer is a rendering from Blender's EEVEE renderer, which uses a material with Shader to RGB node and a Color Ramp node, which makes it show up as only black or white. This is what it looks like on its own:

                                      https://i.imgur.com/cVXQXhl.jpg

                                      The whole process is a bit more complicated and time-consuming than I'm making it sound, but that's the basic explanation.

                                      The colored images have an extra third layer added which comes from a simple Enscape rendering.

                                        Another experiment with the comic rendering style I've been developing, with added volumetric lighting and a bit of depth of field. This is a model of a bombarded church I made some four years ago.

                                        I'm not completely satisfied with the rendering, I think it looks a bit too busy. What do you guys think?

                                          it's great! I guess if you wanted it less busy, just removing the pews and letting there be some clear floor space with debris would free it up a little so the rest would stand out more. What a model and style! Looks like you could do a not-bombed-out church just as well!.
