More Stairs

[ntxdave]

Once last (stupid) suggestion. Add Rich’s joker to your stairs and render and then use FotoSketche to produce a wild oil painting. Could be kind of neat IMHO.

Okay, I get the message. I will quit suggesting this type of stuff.

A little update. Models pretty well finished. Now down to experimenting with texture setups, scenes and lighting for some renders.

Liking where you are headed with this, looking forward to where you go with it.

Thanks ntxdave. Dumb me didn’t realize the last pic I posted is pretty much the same as an earlier pic…. Ohh well….
Suspect it’ll be awhile on renders, spending a lot of time adjusting material setups in Twilight and deciding on views and lighting. Starting to make myself a bit crazy

[ntxdave]

Another silly suggestion. This is the type of scene (when completed) that could make a neat oil painting. When you get your render done, I would like to see what you could create using FotoSketcher. Again, only after you have created a neat Twkight Render image.

At ntxdave’s request…. Here’s a quick and dirty N.P.R. image of the stairs…..if anyone is interested here’s what I did…..

A relatively quick Twilight render, saved as .png

Saved a raw SU image of the scene, shaded with textures, shadows turned off…same size as render, save as .png

Ran the raw SU image through “PhotoSketcher” a Mac app, created a B&W pencil sketch, gave the image a cream colored background. Saved as .png

Imported the “pencil sketch” and render into Affinity Photo. Pencil sketch on top. Set the “sketch” as an overlay. Also did a minor blend adjustment to the sketch. Ran a light blur on the rendered image and a shadows and highlights adjustment. And there you have it. Quick and dirty…..

Here’s another N.P.R. image…. Only difference in this one is I added another render image that I ran through Topaz Impression to get a watercolor look. Messed about with the different layers in Affinity and there you have it.

Interesting tuna.

Now would be interesting to see it as an oil painting.

a great scene and great result!

[tuna1957]

Thanks ntxdave and HornOxx. I suspect I’ll be fooling around with this for awhile. Going to try different scene views etc. Think I’m going to experiment with some night renders also.

[Bryan K]

That turned out very nice!

[tuna1957]

Thanks Bryan

[Mike Amos]

It's a great result and no mistake.

[tuna1957]

Thanks Mike. Going to keep up the experimenting. Adding small details,tweaking textures and trying different lighting schemes.
