      OVERLAY STYLE - Repost from old SU forum


      i called this OVERLAY STYLE because of main trick in it...

      i work with su for a long time doing different types of renderings
      always trying to do a bit "fat colored", "lightburned"
      (if you understand) picture
      this tech slove a problem of "flat colors"

      so, first tech is the easy variation or OVERLAY STYLE
      for casual object...

      ...for example this corolla!!!

      all sample files are posted below


      step 1

      export two images from su:

      first: colored with textures and shadows but without edges, profiles and so on
      (set the transparency quality in display settings to the "nicer" level
      for better image)

      (toyota_corolla_01.jpg)

      second: colored with textures, shadows and edges + x-ray mode turned on

      [the picture embedded here was on the old SketchUp Forums and is not available any more]


      step 2

      start photoshop, open a first image (toyota_corolla_01.jpg)
      convert background to layer and duplicate it

      blur duplicated layer with gaussian blur (radius: about 1 pixel)
      than apply motion blur to the same layer (0 degrees, distance: about 150 pixels)
      set the blending mode of this layer to OVERLAY...

      ...this is the main trick of technology
      ...color burning + fractal shadows

      then open second image (toyota_corolla_02.jpg)
      and paste it as a layer over the other two layers setting blending
      mode to OVERLAY...

      ...more color + transparency effect

      flattern layers...
      ...the result is something like

      (exit_01.jpg)


      you may develop this tech in all other ways
      variations are neverending...

              the color burning + fractal shadows step is not clear to me, what tools are you using here?
