_James Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 The practice I work for is rather fond of a Sketchup rendering style (image below). I'm looking to reproduce this/get as close as possible in VW to save importing the VW model into Sketchup to take some views from. Any tips on where to start? It seems to be a mix of both a VW Sketch Style and an Artistic Renderworks style but I don't have a lot of experience rendering in VW. The lines I can probably get close to, but is there a way to get the border effect? Likewise for the texture that comes through, is there any way to achieve this? Thanks in advance! 1 Quote Link to comment
3dPlanet Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Hi James, you can achieve a similar look although not exactly the same by using the soft edge image effect in the OIP. I'm not sure if the attached render is what you're looking for, but this image was achieved with Artistic Renderworks, lines & Shadows and a Blue sky RW background, then soft edges in 'Apply Image Effects'.

zoomer Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Hmmmh, Sketchup looks better. Looks like drawn with a "Copic", at the borders and around the tree. Quote Link to comment
3dPlanet Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 There may be another way to achieve the Sketchup look using a custom RW background, but 'better' is in the eye of the beholder. There's always Photoshop to create the background but I'm guessing you want to avoid using an external program. Maybe VW will add this type of Image effect in a future release. Quote Link to comment
neal-2002 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) how about something like this - viewport on page - add some semi transparent layers in white around border, add soft edge in image editor in object info? sketch border.vwx Edited December 11, 2019 by neal-2002 Quote Link to comment
neal-2002 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) or this alternative - no background to model - viewport background will be clear, just add image behind of your viewport window (export blank image from sketchup at a decent size that you could use) sketch border.vwx Edited November 25, 2019 by neal-2002 3 Quote Link to comment
_James Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 Thanks all for the replies - I hadn't even considered just dropping the background in as a JPEG, very good! 1 Quote Link to comment
