      hi all, this is my first post πŸ˜„
      There is a plugin to change the style of the shadows?
      for example, do the shadows like charcoal or other style...
      Thanks
      Carmelo

              I usually export the shadows as a separate pass and then tweak them in photoshop to look sketchy. It seems to work pretty well. Here is an example for the Corinthian column I made a while back.

                Is that all computer generated?

                  How do you export the shadows separately?

                    Here is a brief explanation on how it is done. I separated it as 3 different jpeg exports. Shading, shadow, and sketchy edges. All you have to do is save a scene so your camera stays locked. Then start exporting jpegs with different styles. Shading = Shaded style edges off (White material). Shadows = Hidden line edges on (white edges). Edges = Any Sketchy edge style you prefer. In photoshop run some filters on the shading and shadow passes. I used alien skin snap art which isn't free but you can use a combination of native photoshop filters with similar results. Then set those 2 layers to multiply and adjust the opacity to your liking.

                    I attached an example of the process. Pardon the crappy model I used as an example.

                    If you have any questions please feel free to pm me.
