Final streetscape - sketchup, twilight, photoshop
-
The section looks great Oli, hope your bosses are proud of it! The scheme will look great when its built.
-
You have the grass looking well now oli.
Are you using a mask with an image of grass? -
perspective section:
(oops i mean perspective elevation!)
comments welcome as always
-
In the above elevation its just raw render, but the other images are made using the grass tutorial on the twilight forum. so yeah an image underneath the masked render...then use the dune grass brush (in photoshop...make sure you lower the 'opacity jitter' aka 'foreground/background jitter' or you get transparent grass) to give the blades of grass. takes a while to get it right but worth it.
thanks for the comments. cadmunkey: i hope my bosses are proud too!
-
Finally, all together on drawing sheets!
-
these looks amazing, did you do the PLAN in sketchup also, if not, which app did you use for that??
-
Great final product Oli
Congrats on the tutorial on SUArtists, very informative and detailed.
-
21D: the site plan is made with autocad. All drawings were done in autocad and imported into SU.
Thanks for the nice comments, i'm happy how everything came out. And James.....I have to admit it's not quite the quasi-clay style...its just straight SU output with a gradient and vignette (didn't have to time to render any more). So let's call it the demi-quasi-clay style lol
In isolation I do not think the images are so spectacular but as a narrative they work very nicely IMO.
Thank you everyone for all your input.

Layouts are terrific Oli. I must say that I had my doubts about how a photo sky works with CG. As with the cut outs too. But it looks great now. Just this road texture still looks out of scale but it 'works'.
-
This is great! I'm really liking these drawing sheets and their with their layout, I think you've done a good job
combining different image types while still keeping everything in harmony. And I can go on..
Cheers!

thanks michlais, james and foxar. Yes the curved road texture is a bit out of scale but the other road texture is exact to a UK road (have you tried texturing curved objects in SU? lol silly question). I had to (crudely) add the curved lines in photoshop. I understand what you mean about the sky michalis but it is not uncommon to see clouded skies in architectural photography.....it is rarely a pure gradient unless for artistic reasons.
I think layouts like this only work if you maintain verticals between the images. otherwise it can become very unsettling and uneasy to the eye.
cheers!

Its a common method in graphics design. Have a google search about the famous Neville Brody. My favorite.
