          Yes, coming along nicely. The line work is nice, but a little to "uniformally wavy" for me....

            Nice images majid, you are definately on the right track. I would also suggest
            the frequent use of the smudge tool as well as use of diferent styles as layers
            in order to create a more uniformal and hand drawn look.

                  my action is based on wet WC tech...and here it is:
                  as tom said (and the others ) smudge tool before texturing has great results . pls remove (.rb) part....


                  put it at the actions folder and load it at PS

                            pls use it over a su pure result ( not a render ) try to duge/burn T light and shadows befor the action is applied . just copy the background layer and then start the action.
                            also i have tried the second generation of my action that works better on SU outpots !and i think it is better for architectural jobs ... here r the results

                                        These are nice. I have also been working on creating a decent photoshop action that simulates watercolor, which is not an easy task. I'll have to give your style a try in CS3...thanks!

                                        I have a photoshop action that I have used for the last 3 years or so (prior to my use of SketchUp), but it's still a work in progress. It's similar to Dennis' technique that layers b/w, colored, shadowed in seperate layers, only this does it all for you. You put in a colored rendering that you want to watercolor, hit the action and answer a few questions along the way to get the end result just the way you want it. You "paint" away the white exposing the the right amount of coloring you want. It works pretty well, but I'm still not entirely happy with it, however, I just haven't had the time to really finish working out exactly how I want it.

                                        I've attached a close up sample below. This piece was taken from an illustration that had the linework created in cad and then colored in photoshop. No fancy texturing or brushwork was done. Everything you see was done in the script.

                                        When I get some free time, I'll try and finish it and maybe it'll be presentable enough to share.

                                          the hard part of the work is simulating human smartness! human knows were to loose or tight work ( i.e trees r ignored to be detailed by the man ) .... btw if good texturing in SU = good result by PS action ... .very well done! really nice job u did!! πŸ˜„

                                            the important point is that keep some part textures ( architectural parts) and ignore and loose work on other areas... what do u suggest about?
