    i finally had a chance to view your tutorial!!! it’s cool… i learned a lot… i just need to practice more….

14. SketchUp Freak on June 24th, 2009 12:32 pm

    So where can I download these styles? They all look fab, but there is no download link.

15. jameshannigan on June 27th, 2009 10:01 am

    Hi SketchUp Freak
    In SketchUp 7 go to Window>Styles, you will find Style Builder Competition winners there. You can then select whichever one you want as they are listed there.
    Hope this helps…

16. Glenn Slingsby on July 2nd, 2009 1:59 pm

    Really, really excellent collection of tutorials for using SketchUp in a more artistic manner: Just what i was looking for.

17. majid on July 27th, 2009 10:10 pm

    very tricky, nice!

18. tdmc on July 29th, 2009 1:34 am

    I can’t see them listed there – how do I find them?

19. Pg on July 29th, 2009 4:59 pm

    I couldn’t find out how you use “the ‘Skp lines’ layer,”
    even though i googled it.
    Could you detail this for us?

    Thank you!

    Nice tutorial!

20. Pg on July 31st, 2009 4:32 pm

    …and with “use” i actually mean find…

21. MrWip on July 31st, 2009 5:30 pm

    The ‘Skp lines’ layer is a common layer, which I just nammed like that for the needs of the demonstration…(and I don’t think googling it will help you..)
    I use it to overlay the sketchup lines on the Vray renders (which of course doesn’t present lines). It’s just a simple export from sketchup, and an adjustment of the blending mode…

    … In fact when I say ‘using the skp lines layer’ it just means that you use the magic wand on it to make quick and clean selections of precise area, define by the skp edges on your image.

    In this article the difference (with or without the lines) is not that easy to get, because the pictures are quite small, but it works for real..!

22. JAIME ROMERO on July 31st, 2009 5:56 pm

    Great images… but a little bit more explanation in the process it will perfect, like the steps to do in PS or any other program that you used after SU. Thanks for be so inspirational with so amazing presentation.

23. elahe on August 1st, 2009 6:38 am

    excellent

24. Pg on August 2nd, 2009 5:08 pm

    Thank you that helps a lot!
    I’m a PS noob hence the misunderstanding.

25. Pg on August 9th, 2009 10:31 pm

    Very nice, thank you!

26. tinystar89 on August 10th, 2009 7:37 pm

    it is fast for large size images.

    Well done and thank you mate!

    So simple! I thought there was to be a more elaborate workflow than this!

    Proof that simplicity is it’s own reward!

34. Ben Ritter on September 21st, 2009 9:45 pm

    Nice work and thank you for the tutorial.

    However, I must have missed something, how do you get the tiny dot texture?

    Thanks. Ben

35. Majid on September 22nd, 2009 1:28 pm

    Dear Ben, as I’ve declared in the 2nd paragraph , this must be done using those presets that use MLT, i.e in TWi…go to Tech settings–>3.progressive–>choose preset 03 or 04
    cheers

    thanks

42. majid on October 12th, 2009 10:39 am

    dear mate, you can choose your render engine , by visiting their webpages, and surfing the forums..

43. andrea on October 13th, 2009 10:45 pm

    thanks

    can u tell me some good vray for sketchup training
    thanks

46. alex on October 21st, 2009 2:42 pm

    Brilliant work, APPLAUSE!
    You seriously enthused me with this project – and I think I know what I am talking about because designing nightlife was my profession for the past twenty years.
    (SU and Vray, what a powerful combination – although laser beams are still to be improved, i’d say)
    If you ever feel like calling me for support, i will be there hands on.

    best regards
    alex

62. Sis (Sepo) on November 6th, 2009 3:39 pm

    Thank you guys for nice comments.
    Mateo not only that I know but I have been in the Sponza. The model has been used by every render engine that I know to test sunlight and ambient lighting. It is probably the most used 3d model in the world.

    Great work indeed, as Paul staed you gave me some ideas too,although you make it look too easy. I follow your work up to image 4/5, but canoont seem to cut or follow the rest of your steps, do you have an email I can send you my save file to look at?

76. Jacques on November 30th, 2009 6:00 am

    Hi Mike
    Yea sure, my email is cleghorny@gmail.com
    Sorry for being so vague about this tut, it was a 8 month process and was a bit hard to capture this process over the time. First post was on SCF forum, posted 250 images of the model and basically step by step how it went onwards. The tut sort of ties into the areas where people probable had questions looking at the 250 renders. But thanks for the comments, and for those who never saw this before

77. Kerry Jackson on November 30th, 2009 10:01 pm

    Wow

    Having recently started to use Vray for my rendering, I find your work a real inspiration, it is your finished image that keeps the flames burning, stunning.

    I would like to know what the advantages and disadvantages of Blender are, in relation to the game engine, remote control, operation systems, license, and so on.
    Could anyone help me?

88. Glenn S on December 19th, 2009 9:45 am

89. rcossoli on December 21st, 2009 3:46 am

    Thank you! It makes us happy that our work pleases them, seeing theirs I must say that they are fantastic, congratulations

    We do not work with blender, do it with sketchup, for a question of simplicity and agility that has this program to the moment of the shaped one, the advantage of a program since like blender is that it is free and of opened code, and relies on many users that day after day they improve it

90. minnow on December 26th, 2009 3:44 pm

    I have got the image.
    Thanks a lot!

93. Bob Luther on December 31st, 2009 1:35 am

    This is a great tutorial but the one thing that would help a lot of young designers is to incorporate more modeled entourage elements in the modeling phase. By finding a similar (not exact) lighting fixture, pots, planters, or cafe tables to place in the model, when you trace over it you have more reference to scale and size. You (Mr. Leggitt) have been doing this for so long it is second nature to you, and that is great, but so many renderings fail when it comes to the small details and by adding a bit more entourage you can get great results because the scale of elements is more accurate.

94. majid on December 31st, 2009 11:20 pm

    amazing Jacques, hope that oneday SU could handle such model when textured

95. rudi on January 1st, 2010 7:59 am

    hai Tina, i really likes the image u did, its very artistic.
    im goin to learn Piranesi then, i thin Piranesi is better then realistic rendering…since it cant be rally ralistic, then made it artistic its the brilliant way!

    Wm

99. Tim Danaher on January 13th, 2010 11:38 pm

    Wm –

    Not recently, but that’ was more due to time pressure at my end — I’ve started teaching at the Design school here in Cologne and had to get my course materials sorted out. I must get back in touch with Adam.

    I think LightUp is simply amazing.

100. admin on January 14th, 2010 12:08 pm

     Thanks in Advance

105. Oliver on February 3rd, 2010 6:42 pm

     The colour to the trees was added in Photoshop-magic wand and fill. Nothing complicated really. The other colours are from SketchUp.

     Thank you for the comments and I hope you find the tutorial useful.

106. Rohan Wallace on February 4th, 2010 11:50 pm

119. Faruk Ahmet on March 17th, 2010 1:18 pm

     Excellent work! I always wanted to do this but never had the time or the patience.

     I have a few questions:
     1/ How long did the whole thing take to model, give or take? You proved that it’s possible to make it entirely in SketchUp but i wonder if it takes too much time compared to, say, Cinema4D et al.

     2/ I get the tracing-extruding-rounding of the cobbles but since i never used it, don’t get what exactly SketchyPhysics did for you. Also, I don’t see the relationship between the image “Cobbles 1″ and “Cobbles 2″. Well, maybe I should just play with SkPhys a bit…

     3/ By ’symbol’, do you mean components?

     Again, great work and tutorial. Thanks very much for sharing
     Cheers..

137. antonio on April 26th, 2010 1:54 pm

     how to controll the intensity of the light,coz when i render the scene ,the lights are totally white ,an iu change the intesity like the tutorial ,sorry for my english

138. John on April 27th, 2010 7:46 pm

     Does this work for any image editor and not just photoshop or paint shop pro?

     For example, I’m on the cheap so I use Paint.NET and a 2004 Macromedia Fireworks for all my image editing. Following the same procedure for Paint.net doesn’t seem to work .. How does the image go back to Sketchup as an edited texture?

     Thanks,
     John

139. Martin on April 28th, 2010 8:22 am

     SketchUp Freak asked about the download link?

     Can’t find any neither…

140. admin on April 28th, 2010 2:54 pm

     Hi Martin
     All links updated and some new styles have been added as well. Links which no longer exist or work have been removed. We will also be adding some more examples soon!

141. Anita DeStefano on April 29th, 2010 8:32 pm

     Hi Scott,

     Awesome work!!
     I was looking for water color effect and found your tutorial.It was very helpful tutorial.Do you mind sharing on how you got the watercolor effect on cars,trees,and people.Are they the real trees,…..etc..or you created them in photoshop?

     Thanks in Advance
     Rose

143. Awesome work!! on May 9th, 2010 3:26 pm

     I’m from Brazil and a big fan of Baumberger’s work! I use to do the same technics in my own illustrations (http://www.marcosbandeira.arq.br/arqdes/desenhando/Pages/Ilustrando.html), but nothing compares to those beautiful perspectives. Hope, with hard work, I can get, some day, this level of finish! Congratulations!

     can you learn me how to do it stip by stip plz.
     thnx

147. admin on May 12th, 2010 12:23 pm

     It should work with most editors, but Nomer can confirm this. For the image to appear in SketchUp edited – You must Flatten and Save the image in Photoshop once you have finished editing and it will automatically update in SketchUp.

148. Matt on May 12th, 2010 3:14 pm

     Why do you have to flatten the image?

149. admin on May 12th, 2010 4:33 pm

     If you add anything to the original locked image without altering its state (it says locked) for example a color, you don’t have to flatten it, but if you have multiple layers due too your editing or added text, you need to flatten it, for it to auto-update.

150. yisel arias on May 14th, 2010 12:43 am

     I would like to learn about the technique … and i believe there could be a free download program in order to do so, am I right ?
     Thank you very much.

151. Alexandros Centonze on May 14th, 2010 9:31 am

     Thanks again for the fantastic presentation.

159. St. Remmy on June 3rd, 2010 12:54 am

     “accessibility of information available on the internet today is awesome.” I’m in Nigeria, Africa. without the internet it would have been urterly impossible to lay hold of the vast invaluable information on CG (for example ricardo cossoli’s profound advice to biginners. i’m a biginners: self-thought). Thanks Ricardo Cossoli for the invaluable advice. Great works.

     how do we load ies file in step 4??
     plzz tell

162. dewa on June 9th, 2010 10:04 am

     is it a plugin ?
     where i can find it ?

163. admin on June 9th, 2010 11:28 am

     @daniel,Jonny,dewa… IES lighting is a new feature that comes with the latest version (ver. 1.48.66) of V-Ray for SketchUp.
     @ deepak…while the IES light is chosen, right click and select ‘edit light’. Under ‘Sampling’ browse for the file to load it.

164. admin on June 10th, 2010 1:11 pm

     @ Yisel arias you can download a 30-day free trial of Piranesi 2010, which is fully functional here http://www.piranesi.co.uk/trial/trial_home.asp

165. admin on June 10th, 2010 9:19 pm

     Here is the homepage for SketchyPhysics and the downloads, some of you were asking about it, hope it helps.. http://code.google.com/p/sketchyphysics/

166. FOniXRula on June 14th, 2010 7:47 pm

     Muito muito obrigado Ricardo Cossoli.

167. Edwin on June 17th, 2010 5:31 pm

     I still dont get the no.4 step.. where is the ’sampling’ folder? i couldnt find it.. or should we download first?

168. admin on June 18th, 2010 12:53 pm

     @Edwin… yes then browse for it on your computer where you downloaded it too…

169. bobpineo on June 21st, 2010 2:38 pm

     Hello David,
     Thank you for posting this tutorial, great stuff.
     Are the second and third parts to this tutorial available yet?
     If so where can I find them
     Cheers.
     Bp

170. admin on June 21st, 2010 4:06 pm

     Tutorial 2 can be found here- http://www.sketchupartists.org/tutorials/modeling-in-sketchup-to-match-a-2d-image/.
     We have added the link to the second tutorial as well, in the first paragraph of this tutorial. Hope that helps..

171. stenionet on June 23rd, 2010 2:19 am

     The angle of the color and the shadow render are different.

172. Duu on June 23rd, 2010 3:26 am

     Sir, where can I get the IES file?

173. admin on June 23rd, 2010 12:54 pm

     @Duu You can get them here http://genet.gelighting.com/LightProducts/Dispatcher?REQUEST=IESCATEGORYPAGE and
     http://www.4shared.com/file/200355919/ecaf3710/IES-mapas.html and http://www.4shared.com/file/200356156/4da11d3/IES.html At the end of the first paragraph there are links to them!

174. admin on June 23rd, 2010 12:57 pm

     @ stenionet Yes the angle is different in that particular image. In step 1 The output images should be all at the same angle to match up when editing in your image editor…

175. Coen Naninck on June 30th, 2010 2:00 pm

     Wow.. fantastic work and interview!

176. rcossoli on July 7th, 2010 11:18 pm

     I believe this workshop would further ones knowledge in Sketch Up. I would like to make a suggestion. the interest on Sketch Up in Nigeria exist and is growing, there for it would be a welcome development to have this same workshop/seminar/ training here. i do believe you and your team would be impressed.
     Thank you

182. samuisketchup on July 15th, 2010 7:57 am

     thank you very good to learn

183. rcossoli on July 21st, 2010 7:31 pm

     Thanks bro!

184. Christina on July 22nd, 2010 9:54 pm

     This is awesome! I am going to push farther with my drawings & renderings. Sometimes we need to be reminded that a beautiful rendering doesn’t just pop out in one or two steps… I know in the past I’ve gotten to somewhere around step 5 (usually attempting to combine hand drawing/tracings and sketchup shots) and thought well I guess thats about all that can be done. Seeing all 27 steps puts things in a different light. Thank you.

185. Keea on July 24th, 2010 3:44 pm

     Just wanted to say I just stumble upon this. I am a sketch up user, that has not yet experienced pov ray, or other light rendering aspects of sketch up. I use a mac and am interested in trying this out. Do you know when you will have a mac version available?
     Also, what is the price for this plug in. I tried the plugin on a pc and it seems the free beta version is not a very good quality, or I am doing it wrong. Can you let me know this info…much thanks,

186. Donna Hulstein on July 25th, 2010 3:49 am

     When is your next google sketch up class

187. admin on July 25th, 2010 1:36 pm

     Donna you can contact either Jim or Daniel about classes from the links here

188. admin on July 25th, 2010 1:45 pm

     A mac version I am sure will be happening in the near future but they are working on getting the Windows version sorted out first. This is only the beta and will have many more features in the finished version due out this September and priced at $199. You can find out more at their website:

192. Susan Sorger on July 30th, 2010 3:26 pm

     Wang, you are brilliant. I bow to the master. I am amazed. So technological and artistic at the same time.
