Yes, I only export the epix file as black & white and use the plant outlines as a guide when "painting".

RE: Why do we render?posted in SketchUp Discussions
As stated above the term render cover more than just a photo real end product. Lets break it down; first of all you have to model the building/object. In some instances the raw uncoloured result is sufficient. This is normally true in a situation where the relevance will be THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN STAGE. The function of the model will relay spatial relationship , massing integration and general planning issues. This first stage can also branch of to perform a function of intent. Especially in the case of manufacturing. Being able to fully explain your design in three dimensions.
Now that the design has progressed and generally been accepted it needs to be sold. Now selling any product requires you to market it. Selling a design concept is very much the same, most marketing rules apply. It has to communicate to the target audience, in most cases the client and ultimately his/her client. So the image needs to appeal to the man on the street, the layman. It needs what I like to call GENUIS LOCI, spirit of place.
Rendering to me whether Photo real or hand drawn style is taking that initial conceptual design and adding spirit to it. As a professional you learn with time which render method to apply to your design to best ingrain into it that spirit of place. I always like to know whenever I start a project WHO (the very end user) it is intended for and will spend time in exploring that WHO.
My two cents, hope this added constructively to the discussion. -
RE: Work (UPDATED)posted in Gallery
Thanks for all the compliments, quite nice to get good feedback from people as passionate about SU as I am.
To answer your question rdluther; I use SU for all my modeling, VUE & Piranesi for exterior scenes and 3dsMax for the interiors. I find that lately our clients are becoming more and more inclined to ask for sketchy marker type perspectives.Chris

Work (UPDATED)posted in Gallery
Hi There all, I've been a Sketchup user since 2001 and was an 'active' forum user in those days - the days of Gary51- if anyone can remember. I've been lurking here for a while again and decided to post some of my work. Let me know you think.
