      After 6 years of using SketchUp professionally I still think its the dogs doodars (a UK saying I've never understood !!). A simple concept output for initial meets and the final render. Apologies to the photoreal guys this won't be up to your standards....I'm more NPR.

          Thanks Rob. Had a look on your web site and I really like the way you cover all types, i.e. sketchy, watercolour and photoreal. I've always believed that dependent on the project, design stage or the audience, you need different approaches to the visual material.

            Thanks mate. I've taken a look around the web at the various archviz portfolios, and there's few out there doing NPR. It's a shame in my opinion because you can do these so easily with SU and Photoshop/GIMP. Dennis's method is a good example. I offer a range of visual "flavours" because at the end of the day not everyone's got the budget for a full blown photo-real render, and also as you've said, the softer approach is often more suitable.

            Kind regards, Rob

              I really like your rendered image. The quality is good enough for any purposes, you could easily see that on the front of a marketibng brochure somewhere. In my line of work I see a lot of horrible renders that do buildings no justice what-so-ever.

              Good Job!

              As for the NPR image, I think this could be given more life by adding in some trees or sky background as a watemark in sketchup. Would still look NPR but would add a bit more depth to the image.

              just my tuppence worth
