        That's really beautiful.

        Not a fan of the dropshadow at the border. But the image is excellent.

          Thanks Rich, I'm not a fan myself but it needs something to separate the image on a white page.

                        Thank you everyone, it's nice to use a tablet once in a while.

                        take care

                              Great work!

                              I would love to know more about how these were produced. When you say they are hand tinted (digitally) I have no idea what you mean.

                              Would be great to learn some more.

                                Hello Brett, the images are tinted/painted using a Wacom Tablet as opposed to a finished render output from V-ray/Thea ect. I have a nice way of producing watercolour outputs but doubt I'll have time to produce any before I have to go back. Watercolour is like Marmite but IMHO they are better than
                                those ^^^.

                                  These are so great. I feel like I am reading a children's story book, an expensive one. One where the children frolic off and meet a friendly giant and they all eat cake.

                                    I think a little more clarification other than you use a Wacom Tablet is needed. For example: what software is used to create the watercolor effect? The results you have provided are so outstanding that, unless you feel it is a proprietary workflow, more "tutorial-like" information would be truly appreciated.

                                    Other than Marmite being a British/New Zealand food product, I have no idea what this means!

                                      These are so nice, John. I really like the garden wall and the storage building.

                                      So there's no bump? That is you just exported a SketchUp image and created the magic in PS or another SW?

                                        Hello everyone,

                                        lol I can see it now Eric in Wonderland...

                                        @ Peter & Bob, the images are painted in Photoshop (Gimp or any other) using a tablet and pen, you could use a mouse but without the pressure control ect, a £20 tablet would do. In Photoshop you can add whatever maps/overlays you choose or prefer, making your own is a simple process. In a render engine bump maps don't necessarily have to go with it's associated diffuse map, mix n match so long as the sizes match plus you can render only the part of the model that is needed. Experiment/play around you can't spoil anything.

                                        John

                                            Hello Bob,

                                            I'm not sure i could or have the inclination to explain the process to produce these, it's just one of several techniques I use which I've evolved over the years and can become long winded.

                                            There is a topic started by Bryan in the Corner Bar with a few of the replies seemingly implying that modern render engines are so advanced you can just bang a model in, push the button and Bob's ur uncle (sorry). Wish I'd purchased one of those and saved myself hundreds of hours practising.

                                            I've seen a few lads walk on site with a bag full of gleaming top of the range power tools, yet they would never make a Joiner (carpenter) as long as they had a hole in their arse.

                                            take care
                                            John
