Two Dwelling - New presentation style
-
These are two sketch proposals for an overall larger project that I am working on.
Sketchup export with a bit of shadows and highlights filter and noise added in PS.
Each about 1.5hrs design, modelling and export in SU and 10 min post editing in PS.
I've been relying almost soley on Maxwell rendering of SU models of late so it has been a joy to go back and try to develop a new sketchy SU only style.

Hi Richard,
I'll tell you the first word that popped into my head when I saw these. Refreshing! It just goes to show that a good eye will transcend all mediums.
-
Nice to know what you are doing, I would spend about half an hour of my time just looking for, and trying out textures. Maybe next year.

Quite a compliment, thanks mate! It certainly has been refreshing this end too, not having to model detail after detail.

The beauty of the "sketchy style" not all has to be considered as the final idea!
Thanks guys! Richard

Wow! I like this style a lot. Nice work Richard.
-
Very nice illustrations. It is nice to see something of quality like this that was not run through any rendering. Any chacne you could share insight into your post processing methods?

Thanks mate! Black fog, line extensions and a few loose lines of geometry as construction lines! Simple!

Mate I used the shadows and highlights editor to drag out the light areas a bit as the fog can tend to dull them, and adjusted the colour correction of that editor to increase the saturation a bit.
Added noise 3%, then duplicated the layer and set the new layer to 20% opacity, blend mode - linear light! Quick and simple process really!
SU - black fog, shadows > 80/45, line extensions 9, line colour > light grey, additional construction lines, tree textures > saturation to greyscale and slightly transparent (no shadows).
Hope this all helps!

I really like the appearance of this..!!
Well done, Richard...
-
nice to see you doing pure su stuff again mate.....lovely
-
Great work Richard.
-
Looking very sleek and clean, I really like this new kind of style.
Btw, are you from Belgium? As it's a mobile telephone number from Belgium on your renders/pictures. -
Thanks guys!!!!
Funny though how you develop a style that you really like, then think "Man I am going to use this style for ever!". Next thing you develop one you like more!

Thanks again all, Richard

Thanks mate! I certainly shall post more - I'm working on two similar large projects at the moment so will present all the designs this way as it works in well with the way I model straight from primaries.
I posted a thread ("Fast Modelling") on the PPB a few years ago demonstrating how to model really fast for development of concepts, just using primaries and scaling.
It suits me well as I find the quicker you can create your vision on the fly the less it actually stifles your creativity! I have pretty much done all my modelling this way whether for concept or just for a pretty render!
I got the idea of using black fog from an animation I did some years ago. I'd post it here though not sure how to host the wmv file!
-
neat mate, very neat.....
It's a similar concept to something I have always wanted to do on a site in my city. [except I don't own it yet...
] I really like that strong central element; it really complements the adjacent lightweight spaces....
would like to see more of the layout some time. -

When you see where this site is you'll be absolutely blown away! When I was asked if I wanted to be involved in the project my jaw dropped through the floor!!
BTW mate, why don't you sketch up a proposal and approach the owners, I've picked up a couple of projects that way in the past!
-
I've thought about that but I would want to build it for myself!!!!

Hey Richard, really cool style and so simple, makes you sit back and think "why did I never think of that before"?
Well Done.Sorry to digress a little but how are you guys doing down there with the tragedy of these bush fires?
We here in South Africa are thinking and praying for you all! -

We here in South Africa are thinking and praying for you all!Thanks for those words mate! Although I live in another state about 12 hours north this tragety is heart felt nationwide! The lost of life and property is seeing the community donate over $1mil an hour to the relief fund - and although this support will mean alot to the recovery of these areas it can in no way relieve the grief these people will feel over their losses!
Thank you mate!
