      Attached are a few images with a watercolour effect added in post processing.The images were rendered in twilight and the benefit of using this watercolour effect is that the rendered images from twilight can be very noisy or grainy and it dosent make a difference.none of the base images for any of the 3 above rendered for longer than 5 mins.
      There are still a few things i want to iron out but after many attempts at trying to get a quick watercolour effect,this is one step closer.Ultimately, from pressing the render button to final output from photoshop these images took 10 mins each.

            Attached are 2 more images with a watercolour effect.I am more happier with the daylight image than the with the night image as I think there is more bleeding of the colour as would be the case with a real watercolour painting.If I can get this sorted out than I will upload a tutorial if anyone is interested.

              These are excellent.
              Could you perhaps make a step by step tutorial on makings the images in Twilight [settings etc] and then their post-processing in PhotoShop [settings, filters etc] [or Gimp for the paupers!]...
              Thank you for sharing ๐Ÿ˜„

                Looking good David. Kind of like Majid's technique ( http://www.sketchupartists.org/tutorials/fast-way-to-achieve-a-nice-digital-watercolor-render/ ) but with a little extra. Do you use Fotosketcher for the watercolor?
                BTW, don't forget to mask your line-output (last two images on the driveway and grass beside it).

                Looking forward to seeing more of these!

                  Hi flipya the base image was from fotosketcher(a wonderful program) with additional manipulation in photoshop. Below,Ive played around with aging the watercolour effect,overlaying multiple stained/textured paper images in photoshop and trying different blending modes.

                    The process for watercolour is as follows:
                    export hidden line from sketchup,shadows off
                    render in twilight 5-6mins
                    import twilight render into fotosketcher
                    overlay sketchup hidden line and fotosketcher image and play around with the image blending mode and different textured papers etc.
