                  An external view of a project I have uploaded previously.
                  The foreground elements are all originally .png photo elements brought thru fotosketcher and edited in photoshop.

                    How would you like these ones as NPR? Was experimenting the other day... SUp, obviously Fotosketcher, and Photoshop.
                    I like better the one with the vertical running zebrano veneer, which is wrong in reality, but can't remember how I got to that result πŸ˜† !

                          Paul - your SU>Podium>PS>FS work is looking great. You should try adding a final step overlaying in PS some fine SU linework to see if it brings the renderings to the next level: Zen perfection.

                          Regards, Ross

                            Thanks for the comments Ross,

                            I do not know how line overlay is accomplished in photoshop.
                            Could you point me towards a tutorial?
                            Is it doable in elements?

                            p

                              Hi Paul, nice renders!
                              Search the TT&T topic in podium forum, zem wrote a good one once upon a time.

                              About this fotosketcher topic: Better to try to achieve something more close to painting, that means you can overlay lines, fade some areas, heavy PP I mean.
                              To use it as a texture filter over a nice already render, this I don't understand. Whatever a client says. Give them a vision, don't listen to them. That's why they pay, even they don't realize it. πŸ˜†

                                  michaliszissiou,
                                  I agree to a certain extent.
                                  The real world design build industry has some very real limits to
                                  artistic expression. $$$$! A photo-realistic image is wonderful and compelling, but can also
                                  scare off clients by being too real. They can sometimes come away feeling as if there is no room for
                                  change. The water color filtered or pencil sketch filtered images can create a feeling of a work
                                  in progress with enough reality mixed in to help nail down concepts without limiting creativity.

                                  The added bonus of this approach is that one can do a quick not perfect render, slap some background
                                  and foreground clutter in with pp, and hit it with fotosketcher and have an image that feels architectural,
                                  artistic, & invoice worthy without spending time most clients are unwilling to pay for.

                                  Sorry this is not art, its work & it works. Having said that, I still want to do the nicest work I can do
                                  within the limitations of what I can charge for.

                                  Thanks for the direction and comments here and in the past, I always learn something when you put your two cents in.

                                  James,
                                  Thanks for the link and directing me back to that website. I had forgotten how much info there is there.

                                    It seems like we have an argument here. Not at all. I mostly agree and understand.
                                    Some more washing and overlay lines could help though. Less like a filter, more like a painting. Why not? I've seen some great presentations using just SU raw 2d output.
                                    A question: what's the resolution of these images?

                                      michaliszissiou,

                                      Sorry if I come off argumentative, I don't mean to.
                                      Sometimes in trying to explain myself I can forget to include pleasantries. πŸ˜„

                                      I will be looking at the overlay techniques and will post the results.

                                      The down sized posted images are 1100 X 577 - 96 dpi

                                      original images were 3850 X2152 - 72 dpi
