Export 3x images from scenes in different styles

[Lersince1991]

Hi,

So I am constantly churning out images from sketchup to photoshop and improve fairly roughly and send off to people as rough renders.
I would like a script/plug-in that would be able to quickly export 3 images for each scene as a batch.

I export different styles in sketchup to be able to further manipulate the images in photoshop.
For example I can blur the shadows or change an opacity of the lines.

The images for each scene I want to export are;
1 - Material style, No shadows, no edges, no profiles, use sun for shading L100 D100.
2 - Hidden Line Style, Edges. Profiles with 2 thickness, No Shadows
3 - Hidden Line style, Shadows L100 D0, No edges, No Profiles,

I would then open the 3 images in photoshop, layer them up and go from there.
Maybe the script could even export a photoshop or layered tiff of the 3 images, but thats not whats taking the most time.

Thanks for the help!
Luke

why not create the styles as you describe, create the 3 views and apply the styles, and use Didier's ADO plugin to export the scenes? http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/rld/plugin_details.php?id=9

I would do what Glenn suggests. If the styles are already established, and you only need to make them once, it would take no time at all to make three scenes with the three different styles. As for the export, you could also use the animation export option with no scene transitions.
