      I've been using it for about a month now, and it is pretty cool.

                  Yes, Fotosketcher is superb! like davidh in his watercolour thread did, I get more realistic DWC results when rendering twice with FC.

                  HFM: although this is about Fotosketcher, this link is great, thanks!

                    This one was my first attempt with FotoSketcher. I thought it was worth testing how not to use Photoshop ๐Ÿ˜’
                    just Twilight output to FC to SU here...

                      oh so you saved the watercolour then applied the filters again.....nice!

                      that impressionist is good too, thanks for sharing the link HFM ๐Ÿ‘

                        no SketchUp here, just playing with FotoSketcher (and a bit of Photoshop) to modify this image taken by a friend...

                          Nice one Marek! What exactly were the modifications in Photoshop?

                            Some local editing ( erasing to white space, some finger painting, ...) were done in Photoshop, but nothing extensive, really quick 5 min photoshop session

                                Hey Oli
                                I notice your running Leopard, but can't find a .dmg version just .exe, are you running Windows on your mac, or am I missing the mac version?
                                This looks like great software. Thanks for the post.

                                  wow, solo you have changed your profile pic!! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

                                  dale, i am running windows 7 via vmware fusion. you can use bootcamp too...but with vmware you can instantly switch between windows and mac, its sooooo easy. There comes a time when you just need windows! cant be exclusively mac forever!

                                  just like opening another application:

                                    quick try with a section.
                                    3 jpg exports - hidden line, profiles turned off, 'normal' sketchup view.

                                    fotosketch each of them.
                                    assemble in photoshop by layering.

                                    would work better as an exterior, with some shadows, trees, landscaping... but a cool process.

                                      Yeah I have to agree. I'm looking at a new macbook pro, and pretty much convinced to add fusion. Anyone I know who uses it loves it. Glad you agree, it makes the decision easier.

                                        Sorry to be a fanboy but Fotosketcher is really cool in my opinion. What can I say, I suck at rendering! If you are on Facebook I have an example http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?pid=1836523&id=665888847&fbid=80713438847

                                          @ Oli,

                                          Thanks for starting this thread! I really prefer your Fotosketcher image to your rendering in the first post...nice work.
                                          Thanks to this forum and Boofredlay, I discovered Fotosketcher a few days ago. 4 of my friends and colleagues are now using it...it is indeed a fun, easy to use piece of software and you can beat the price.

                                          Here's some photos that I took that were pretty much throwaways until I ran them through the FS watercolor filters.
