Out of Registration
-
that's very funny dave because i was just recently thinking about this myself! i'm kind of on the fence too....but these are nice examples.

Dave,
I think the chairs work quite well - not so much the boat. As you say, a different background for the paper could enhance the effect. -
Dave,
I agree that the chair looks better than the boat but not sure I would have a use for this style. How or what would you see using this for?

Thanks guys. I suppose the chairs work better because there's less out-of-registration. Actually, though, the boat drawing is closer to the thing that inspired me.
Scott, I'm not sure. Maybe as artsymedia wrote, on a vintage poster. It really wouldn't work for most of what I draw anyway. I have been looking at old printed works and wondering how I could create some of those looks with SketchUp drawings. The out of registration thing is just one.
I've been playing with other ideas as well. Probably lots of failures but you gotta try, right?
FLW Falling Water Lamps for example.

You can use in Photoshop Filter / Sketch / Halftone pattern... for a better result

I think this is a very neat idea. Would be interesting if you could take this the next step with secondary colors as well. For example on a green surface where the green lines up but the yellow or blue are out of registration a little bit.
I really like this style. Thank you sharing your work.
-
But Dave what happens if you take this to a printer and he prints the colors out of registration in the opposite direction?
-
Leave it to you, Roger, to think of that. -
Just had a thought that it might be possible to use Style Builder and purposefully make the lines high and/or low on the template, and create a Style. Could save you a little post-proc work.

Jim,
I think you're right but there's a weird thing with those line styles. It seems to be sort of random as to which side of the centerline the sketchy edges end up. I played around with some off-center lines a while back and it looked pretty awful.
-
I see that, but here's a try at it anyway. It looks like it might work on simple models, but probably not so much on more realistic models.
