:Kitchen Images:

Here are a few images from a kitchen we designed this week.. knocked these pretty quickly..I forget exactly how long..day and a half maybe. using the line overlay allows me to not have to model all of the individual cabinet doors, etc.. rendered in Twilight.. overlay/cheesy light effects in pshop.

Hello Jason, lovely clean style, the people look really great

Hi Jason, lovely work!
Can you elaborate on the 'line overlay' option... Is that a Twilight thing?I'm interested in what we you all use to build a kitchen whether it be for spec or conceptual purposes. I know there are a number of cabinet making plugins out there but I haven't found one that is easy to use as well as being set out in a way that mimics the design / modelling process....

i am pleased you get back to your illustration style. thumb up

The line overlay is simply exporting a white line image directly from sketchup and overlaying it in photoshop or your favorite image editing software.
As for cabinets, if I'm in a rush and know I'm doing the overlay, I simply draw the cabinet/drawer divisions on the volume. It's quick and effective. Otherwise, I manually draw everything. I'm horrible with using plugins to speed the process.
Good luck. Thanks guys!

I've been experimenting with the 'line overlay' technique, but having trouble. As I understand it, you set your style to 'hidden image' (no shadows) and export as png. There is no option at this opint to make your png transparent so from here, I have opened the image in PS (mine isn't actually Adobe PS, but similar) and in order to make the white spaces clear, I have to select/select similar (tolerance approx. 50) & delete. The I take the remaining line drawing & overlay on the coloured image. Having tinkered with the tolerances quite a bit, I still can't get a clean line drawing without any white pixels remaining along the lines. Is this the only method, or have I missed something? Ideally, it would be great to get the required transparent image exported straight from SU...possible?

I'm only familiar with Photoshop, so I can only comment on the features of that program. In Photoshop, you set the blending mode of the linework layer to 'Multiply', which makes all of the white elements transparent and leaves only the linework. Hopefully your program has some sort of similar feature. Good luck!

Its been a while but just wanted to let you know I finally sussed this... I was looking at the wrong 'multiply' setting (brush not layer tab)! Ah well, you can lead a horse to water, eh! Got it now anyway, thanks again.
