      Congratulations
      ๐Ÿ‘
      A fantastic, very detailed and accurate work - thanks for sharing this!
      How did you get this watercolor (aquarell?) look, specifically from the first image, which you have posted here? Is it one of SkUpยดs default styles?

        Daniel, You are correct, it would read better if the garage cast a shadow on to the house.

        I can't remember if it was the case on this one, but sometimes i am limited to certain sun angles because I am trying to have all the sides have decent shadows...kind of a balancing act.

        I so wish the Set north tool allowed one to store the north angle with a scene which would allow me to cheat and have the best shadow options (although fake) for each side of the model.

        Hornoxx,

        The style is a modified sanford hard pencil. One of the defaults I think.
        The first image I also applied a watercolor filter in photoshop.

        Beware though...The combination of sanford pencil with 3d trees and bushes and shadows on makes the model verrrrrrry heavvvvvyyyyy. This particular model is just a pig to work on when I have all the trees and bush layers on and sanford style applied.

                      I know just what you mean.

                      Since I don't render I have to rely heavily on the shadows to make my models look decent. It can be a real pain in the butt sometimes.

                      I remember before I discovered Set North I used to have to rotate the entire model (many times) to try to find the best shadows. Now that was fun (NOT) ๐Ÿ˜†

                      Absolutely beautiful work, that's a house I could call home!

                        I wonder if it is not possible to create a plugin that would store the global sun position with a scene....I am guessing not or it would have been done already. I may pop over to the plug ins thread and inquire.

                        Thank you all for the positive feedback.

                          If it was really important, I suppose the easiest way would be to save another copy of your model and change the solar orientation in it.

                          I can usually get decent shadows all around the building by changing the time of day and the date. Invariably, if I model with the correct orientation, however, at least one side of the building is always in shadow.

                          My avatar is an anachronism.

                            Love the work Paul.

                            There's a plugin by TIG for classic elevation shadows. I forget how it deals with North (in the northern hemisphere) or exactly what's included. I usually just don't bother to shadow north in elevations. (What I have most problem with is "shading" making oblique surfaces too dark for elevations).
