Hi All,

Here is the latest render i have been working on it was rendered in Kerkythea 2008, he scene still has quite lot of 'noise' in it but this is just a WIP.

I have tried to create a waiting area type feel to the scene.

Kind regards

Hi PKast,

Nice to see a different interpretation of the the image, i have actually done some tweaking on them myself lightened the sky and decreased the coverage of the sky.

I am really starting to love these type of images i normally do alot of renders in kerkythea and always will do but these are great to do quick to show clients. The clients for the project really liked the images and thought they were hand drawn i took it as complment.

Kind regards

Darren

I like the angles of your views. I think your Sketchup models are very good. I like the style of the post processing, it's very pleasing. I think you could use some more white around the perimeter, especially on the first image to draw you in on the middle.

Here's a quote from Grant Marshall's "Digital Watercolour Effects on Sketchup Images": "Watercolour artists often don't cover all the paper with paint. White paper can be an important part of the composition and help give life to the image. If your SketchUp images are edge-to-edge colour you'll have missed out on one of the easier 'tricks' and you can run the risk of the end result looking overworked and muddy. Generally speaking, larger areas of white will give the image a quick, sketchy, suggestive feel, while less white might be appropriate if you are simulating a more detailed, more 'finished' painting."

Best,

Thanks for positive feedback all, ver grateful

Where can i find Grant Marshall's "Digital Watercolour Effects on Sketchup Images" ?

Kind regards
