        Sun is way too strong, make it around 32(dark slider) or less, make the floor colour darker.
        You can have GI only render if you switch of sun. You get nice soft render.
        To add lines you need to save your Black and white SU image 2 times bigger at least. In your case maybe even more as you are using eval version of Podium. Reduce line drawing to same size in Photoshop and use blending (say 20% opacity of line drawing layer) in Photoshop or similar.

          OK... here I got rid of the sun and darkened the floor. But I don't have PS, so I left it at that 😞

            There are a lot of free image editors...Irfan view is one of them.

                Can GIMP be used in lieu of Photoshop for the treatments you suggest? Gimp is open source.

                I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                      Hi, it's a plug-in called Sketchy Physics. There's a whole sub-forum about it here in SketchUcation:

                          try seashore:

                          (seashore.sourceforge.net)

                          it's based on gimp but doesn't require X11... it's simpler than gimp too but it will do the overlays that these guys are talking about.

                              Do you have intersecting objects? I think you'd have better luck making Sketchy Physics ignore the little plastic pieces that keep the cubelets together. This way the cube should stay together until it hits the ground or another static object.

                                ye... that is it... 1 more thing... I made the center piece 1 component. But when it hits the floor it goes half trough. What about that?

                                  Mmmm... try making each of the 5 parts of the center piece a separate group, not a component, and then grouping them all together.

                                        Sure, I did it in Sketchy Physics 1, not sure if it will work if you have another version installed.

                                        I used WinRAR to compress it because the ZIP file was almost twice the size.

                                        If you don't have WinRAR installed,

                                          By the way, this is a really nice introduction to SketchyPhysics:
                                          http://sketchyphysicstutorial.googlepages.com/

                                          And don't forget to visit the SP sub-forum. Lots of SP geniuses over there. I'm almost as new as you to Sketchy Physics.
