Creating depth in linework with Jim's Greyscale.rb
-
Hey Guys,
at 3am this morning I wondered if this could be achieved using this 'ruby beauty'In the past, I can recall users asking if we can create depth in linework with SU. I know we have the ability now with StyleBuilder to set the level of Fade and dropout length but I've worked out a way of do just that for those of you greyscale users...
Say you have a street scape and you want the further most buildings to fade away.
Step 1 - set up model and composition
Step 2 - color groups / components in a way that when 'Greyscaled' would shade lighter to the back and darker to the front. for this example I have gone with Blue/Red/Orange/Yellow front to back....
Step 3 Then change your style to 'by material', change to hidden line mode, change to Greyscale mode and WAH LAH!!!!!
Here's a Fat Marker style using the stame technique....

Thought I'd add an intemediate step and larger images to show more detail....
Hidden Line style, view edge styles by material....
Greyscale convert.....
