Downtown Cancer Center

As my transition from 'quiet guy in the corner' to 'participating member' continues I thought it was about time to start sharing some of my works.
When the firm I started at earlier this year refused to buy Piranesi for me and wanted me to use Photoshop, I thought I was screwed. I used Photoshop in school but have only used it for basic cropping, resizing, etc over the past 6+ years. So in my first few weeks I spent my nights and weekends scouring the internet and practicing on old school projects. This is one of those practice runs.
I did this project in school, it's a cancer treatment center with a huge and complex program on a tiny site. The focus of that semester was on the program and floor plans but I think the design came out ok too.
These images were made with a few sketchup exports (lines only, color only, shadows only, x-ray) overlayed on top of each other in Photoshop and tweaked until I was happy. Since these were just practice runs I skimped out on the boring stuff like blending or selecting so there are some issues with that. But for the most part I'm happy with them considering they took less time to produce than to export them from sketchup. Also I have a personal preference for vintage, toy camera, steam punk etc type styles so I often lean that direction or include it as an alternate.
Thanks for viewing. Comments and critiques are welcome.

Demonstrating that native SU plus some photoshop work is the way to go -- you can produce 20 or 30 stunning images in the time it would take to one render. Very nice indeed.

Don't you love this business? Don't expect any thanks or recognition from the boss for all the training, hardware, and software you provide for yourself

Thanks Paul. I agree, I have yet to find a better workflow than SU + (insert your favorite image editor here).

.Don't get me started. I know that I could make equivalent or more money and work much less than I do now doing something else, but, like a wife constantly returning to her abusive husband, I hang in there.
Thanks for the comments. Keep 'em 'comin...

Wonderful images.
I'm a fun of raw exports + Ps treatment method.
This doesn't mean that some work gonna take place. But I like what happens in the end,
Not the same for interiors of course. How difficult it could be for google to implement a point light as the SU sun...
Congratulations, well done!!!!
