Software: Sketchup -> Photoshop

Description:

All,

This is a Sketchup model taken directly into Photoshop (no third party rendering software used). This is a very quick technique I've been developing for our in-house Sketchup users to produce marketable renderings. Any advice, tips, comments, critiques on the image and/or the technique used to create it would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ryan

A big nothin' muffin for critiques? Dang.

I know this could go a lot further - but just trying to create an image start to finish in just a few hours. If you masters could share any similar techniques or styles - or even tutorials that would help.

I created a tutorial for this, but not sure if anybody here would find it useful. It's based on Alex Hogrefe's Sketchup -> Photoshop Lighting Tutorial here:

Hey Ryan, I have seen this building before in what I thought was a impressive animation. Did you do that as well?

Here is the movie

Wow, great eye Eric. This is the same project, but was actually the preliminary (pre-bond) images/animations that were created by RM Studio (http://www.rmdesignstudio.com/) for the public about a year ago. Since then, the bond passed and we (the architects) have been working on the design/project - bring it to reality.

The image I posted in this forum is the latest design that we have made in-house here at BVH Architects for public presentation.

Forum Member Alias Marks put together a great little tutorial that I use most of the time:

This image utilizes 3 separate images blended together. I'll see if I can post the tutorial I made also to see what you think.

Here is the "making of" tutorial that I mentioned.

Also includes some different lighting schemes (night render and dusk from right to left).

What do you think?
