NPR Housing development

Yeah I don't know why I'm drawn to it... the shot itself is great with the varying perspectives of the buildings and the swooping street. It's a great shot.

Is this what they call a scheme in the UK?

I would call it a scheme, yes. But I suppose it depends on whether or not we have different ideas as to what a scheme is. To me if someone says housing "scheme" it simply means "plan", and doesn't carry any other meanings such as "it's affordable" or "it's large", etc.

I really love this kind of presentation. Is this all photoshop+fotosketcher?
Whats your workflow?

[Macker]

Yeah it's all photoshop & fotosketcher, I've attached the original export. Though to achieve the effect I do export a few other passes such as one for sketchy lines, one for material ID's in photoshop and so on.

The thinking behind doing it this way rather than in 3DS max & VRay is that it feels more "loose" and not necessarily fully designed which can often be to your favour when presenting to a planning committee, or a client. It gives the impression that things are still subject to change and that nothing is fixed; turning up to a meeting with full on photoreal images can sometimes work against you in that the client could end up thinking "oh sh*t, that's not what I wanted at all!".

Beatiful work:

Do you want to sharing the settings of photosketcher?

Thanks in advanced

I would, but there's nothing special about my settings; I use a combination of the Oil Pastel preset, and the Watercolour preset blended together in photoshop. One (hopefully) last image to add;

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I suppose seeing as I couldn't really offer anything in the way of fotosketcher settings, here's what the image looked like with all the photoshop post production just before I ran it through fotosketcher...

And for comparison, the original sketchup export;

Should probably mention that all these images are 3500px wide, I've had to scale them down because the forum was rejecting them.
