      Here is a quick tut I did on a similar more abstract style, again, Zem pioneered this technique.

      Principles are the same except I used SU wireframe and shadows export too, no particular reason, I was just playing with different overlays.

        Thanks for the tut- looks good- similar to what something I have tried 😄 have a look at my website.
        what do you think of the converging lines fix? hope you don't mind.

          lol thanks, nice fix....but the building looks really deep now!!!

          nice web site, I see what you mean.

          you can get fantastic results using the lines as a mask too, check this out that smooge did, I haven't got round to doing one yet but any excuse and I'll do it!

            oli,

            in your case it is not so much the presence of converging verticals but the extent of the distortion. i know in some views some convergence is inevitable but what i see in some of your images an unreal convergence: the eye just does not see it that way.

            BUT, this is just the way i prefer it. it is surely not THE TRUTH.

              edson: i get you now, for some views it is appropriate while with others it looks plain wrong!! I know you like treating your renders almost like elevations, as evidenced in the institute of architects that you did......which worked very nicely indeed. I may be asking you for a favour in the near future.....the mesh PNG you made lol its fantastic.

                It is deep- i agree with Edson; it's really the degree of distortion.
                I like what can be done with lines as a mask! very techno.

                  you can have it anytime. it would probably help you to know how i did it.

                      Great Job Olishea !

                      I really like this kind of renders, which are quite rare in fact, but mostly efficient to express an architectural concept.

                        very good renders...

                        how did you export shadows?!

                          I didn't export shadows in these images, they are just the podium shadows. I only exported the SU shadows to add a blurry effect for another project.

                          If you read the whole of this tut I've explained how to do it.
