kMoquin Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Saw this online today. I like the sketch interior render with the exterior photo background. I might try to replicate this with Chief and GIMP. (Back in architecture school I did renderings like this with constructed perspectives and photocopied landscape photos collaged together.)

DRAWZILLA Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 For me, back in Architecture school, it took forever to do that all by hand. You guys got it easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kMoquin Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 I did it by hand too - all except my final project. Cut and pasts for the background involved x-acto blades and sobo glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I think your best bet would be getting a white model out of CA (which is somewhat odd that isn't a pre-set style), and then finish the rest in Photoshop. I agree, that looks very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthurDent Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I like it too, but why use gimp/photoshop? I could get pretty close using technical illustration. You can make it more white if you like. You can also turn on the backdrop in the 3D view defaults dialog. The only thing I couldn't figure out how to do was to make the windows partially transparent. It was either all or nothing. I don't like the light fixtures though. I keep expecting to see birds in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the light fixtures though. I keep expecting to see birds in them. I was suggesting that since the trees and exterior in the example are drawings themselves - not photos. I suppose you could create a background of those drawings (making an image file) and then apply an overall semi-transparent white-wash to then set as a background back inside CA - but I still suggest for still images Photoshop would be extremely quick....and you could so more with some of the filters etc. Im not in front of my work computer, but can you get shadows in the technical drawings?
