      Hi

      I’ve actually been looking into how to do this for years but stupidly never asked and have never found a tutorial in books or online (or at least never took it in)

      Do anyone know how to make an original sketchup style file from scratch?

      I know that you can you use the style builder for the lines but what about textures, colour scheme, etc....
      and how can you save the finish product as a style file that others can download.

      Using the following site page as an example
      http://www.sketchupartists.org/2014/09/styles-collection-2015/

      and focusing on the ‘Light Pencil Overlay with Watercolor Wash’ style you can download - how could you recreate that style and save as a style file from start to finish?
      There looks like there is a watercolour paint background overlay and a texture pencil stroke overlay for sketchup content and the colours of the model are muted down/prehaps blurred but I’m not sure and I certainly don’t know the process of how the author managed to create this style

      I know that there are many photoshop post production ways to get the ‘artist impression’ effect but it be great to have another method

      Thanks in advance

        Use StyleBuilder to export the Template to generate to linework.

        You can print the template or use an image editor to add linework to the boxes.

          Another thing you can do is the rename the .style to .zip and poke around to see the stroke styles.

          Best way to deconstruct is to load a style into StyleBuilder to see what setting were used where.
