Jason, it's great to see you back to your unique style again, been a while.
awesome stuff as usual.

Great as usual.

Nice work, Jason. That's a nice presentation style.
I agree with you. Not everything needs to be rendered to look like a photograph.

Jason,
This is fantastic work from you as usual. You attention to detail is spot on. Not too much but just enough. I have come to really like this grey scale style and have adopted it. Clients love it in the early stages of a design. What I have found that by doing photorealistic renders too early clients end up feeling somewhat locked into a design. By doing grey scale images early they can focus on the design elements. Once they approve that then we can go forward to colors, textures, and other elements. I also use this style for model approval renders. I do model approvals before texturing that a client actually signs as a CYA for myself.
Very inspiring work!And yes, not everything needs to be rendered. Too many people spend crazy amounts of time doing photorealistic renders and they are not even all that good and can ruin a design. I say spend more time on the modeling and the design will speak for itself no matter what the final output is.

Impressive stuff, Jason...

A breath of fresh air. "Photorealism" feels often stuffy.

*updated first post

wow. this is one of the most amazing presentation I seen on this forum so far.
Can you please tell me how you achieve such style?
I am quite new to Sketchup. Much appreciated. -
you must've only looked at one post then! haha... thanks appreciate it.
nothing special here though.. just a standard style with some extension... i guess the trick is the texturing.. adjust the RGB levels of the textures to gray them out... good luck.

Any way you can provide some guidelines or instructions on how to achieve this?
I tried a few style but cant get anywhere near that effect. Especially the shadows etc.I am impressed everytime i look at it. Really like it!

search thru the author's posts...in one of his earlier gallery posts he explains better

Lazychild,
I think what really adds to Jason's work is his extreme attention to detail. Things that are typically overlooked by many are always covered by Jason. Take for instance the text on the menu board. This could have very easily be done with text, although it would have very easily made the board very busy and drawn your eye to it rather than just see the board as an element in the overall design. The real trick here is that the use of simple rectangles for what would be text on the board satisfies ones eye that its "text" and not just rectangles. If you look at some of Jason's other works he does this trick of the eye stuff really well. I think things like this are so easily overlooked when in reality is it masterfully done by Jason. I think many people new to Sketchup (and some that have been around for a while, myself included) could learn alot by taking the time to really study Jason's work. While many ask for Jason to tell his process (which he has done many times before), it is important to create your own style. It is interesting to see how many times people have tried to mimic this style with varied success. There is more going on here that a simple grey image.
Great work Jason!

ScottI definitely agree with you. The amount of details is just amazing.
Thank you very much for your time. Much appreciated. -
wow scott......thanks! really appreciate all that, and dont really know what to say
but yeah... there is no real trickery with styles here.. in fact, there is no 'style' used, just the standard style with some extension.. like scott said, the key is detail.. just like when you're doing photoreal stuff, the more detail you add..the better its going to look. and i certainly cant take all the credit, it helps that my clients detail their designs nicely
