Mid Mod Chair
-
NPR render of a Kennedy Chair model I did recently. SU 2015, Twilight Render, post pro in Gimp.

Very nice indeed.
How do you like Gimp? I tried it for a while a couple of years ago, because I didn't want to pay Adobe's outrageous price for Photoshop. But I stopped using Gimp after a couple of months because I couldn't stand ita interface.
Best,

Thanks for the compliment. Coming from you it means a lot as you are one of the resident wizards when it comes to furniture modeling. How do I like Gimp ? I guess it's best said I've sort of gotten use to it's quirks over the last couple of years. I can usually get it to do what I want. Would love to take Photoshop for a spin, just can't get past the price..

I love this chair and its grainy look - is this look done as a gimp effect or any SU style?
Gimp is not that bad for me as well - at least as I just need it´s good layer feature and some basic settings to mount my desired picture. Once it gets more complicated, I agree to davidheim...

Their new pricing plans are very competitive. It's €150 per year for the Photography plan which is Photoshop and Lightroom.
Compared to a few years ago it's very cheap. But you don't own a licence. Just rent it.
Nice chair too!

Thank you for the compliment, tuna. I sometimes feel more like the man behind the green curtain in "The Wizard of Oz" than like a wizard.
Best,

HornOxx , Here's a rundown of how I got the final image....
Save my render. Back in SU turn off shadows and switch to a line style. I used one of Dave R's styles
( available in the store ). Save that image at 2x the render size.Close out SU. Open render image in
Sketcher and give it a water color effect. Save that image. Get into Gimp. Size down the line image
And give it transparent background. Load original render image and the water color below that.
Reduce the opacity of the original render until I like how things are looking. I'll go in and touch up
the line drawing if it needs it. And there you have it... Really it's just a modified of the technique that
Allan Casa does ( see his book also in the store ).Rich, Been about 3 years since I looked at Photoshop prices. Guess I need to go look again....
Davidheim!, Really like the "Wizard of Oz" analogy. Most days I feel like the scarecrow running around looking for
my brain ! -
Nice work, sir.
Your process sounds similar to the method I use on some of the images I make. Coincidentally, I use one of Dave R's styles, too.
I generally work on my PC and use Fotosketcher and PaintDotNet.
-
Thanks Dave. Yeah those are some pretty nice styles , not surprised you use them too ! I think Sketcher is similar to
Fotosketcher. Use it because they have a mac version, Fotosketcher doesn't.Forgot to mention the grain in the wood is mostly from the texture. It's out of Rich's npr woodgrain pac and the
seat cushion texture is from Rich's npr fabric pac. Thanks Rich !
