This is not a bug and I've moved it out of the Bugs forum. It's also an old thread so it may have been solved for "rvdruk."

Cotty is on the right track. It has everything to do with the export size of the image. The style the OP applied uses raster images of lines. These lines have some specific fixed width. The lines will thus appear wider at smaller export size. This can actually be used to advantage to change the appearance of line styles. I've shown this example before which demonstrates.

The model itself looks good. But I'm missing some bump- and specularmaps and work on materials to make it look more real.

I'm guessing you mean more bump on the street and walls? Where/what would you suggest for specular effect and which materials could use work?
What do you think of the viewpoint / entourage etc.?

Use this material on front and back faces.

reverse the material or apply the material on both side.

You can try FilterForge
http://www.filterforge.com/filters/
In the "Building" section there are a bunch of 512 X 512 seamless tile you can probably use....
FilterForge has a 15 or 30 day demo version... full features (I think it is the pro version) where you can create any of the textures from their free filter library and even experiment on your own versions if you'd like.
It's a great program. It even works inside of photoshop to add effect to photos.
I tried the Demo and was won over right away, I purchased the mid level version at a 60% off sale (if you like it and are short on cash, check back at the site often, as they have frequent 50-60% off sales)
There is also Spiral Graphic's "Genetica"
http://www.spiralgraphics.biz/products.htm
Which has a free version (very limited) of Genetica... there is also the free wood texture tile maker "Wood Workshop" which is pretty cool.
I prefer FilterForge to Genetica, but both are very good.

This page has a decent tarmac texture:

I've never really found a good sidewalk texture filter, but I'm actually working on one... maybe one day I'll perfect it and add it to the FilterForge collection.

BTW- I'm not sure what FilterForge's policy is about the images/texture you might download/copy/paste/drag-drop from the screen, but I'm pretty sure that Genetica's is that you may use them in a project, just not redistribute them.
You should check into it if you go that route.

PS- Both Genetica and FilterForge have versions capable of making bump maps (FilterForge even has a filter that will turn most images into a bump map... but you need Photoshop for that).

i think photomatch was done as reference and then the model has been remodeled and rendered completely.. the after image is completely different from before. they are completely diofferent but the good thing is they are using the same camera view. so photomatch is the answer.
