has anyone tried to take the models generated from Bentley and style them to look like a hand water color or marker rendering?
The original artist would take the line drawing and stylize it to look like a hand sketch in Photoshop
then he would color areas with materials and shades.
I was kind of hoping to create a raster line drawing and a raster model with shading and color
Then Photoshop the colored drawing with filter then place the line drawing on top.
This would require Photoshop as the final product but it is to early and quick to do a full rendered model
AND I am finding clients that prefer the hand drawings in lieu of the polished ones. the hand drawn are less exacting and therefore more forgiving in presentation.
Thoughts from anyone else???
Try the Waterlogue ios app for iphone and ipad $2.99
Seems to work best with exterior shots, because you lose a lot of detail. (True of almost any watercolor)
I pulled these renderings from the visualization forum gallery:

This is not by any means complete just an idea of where it could go. It is a combination of a filtered rendering and a line drawing from MS. and PS trees

I have had a play with that Fotosketcher program:-
Original
FotoSketcher Water colour Filter
FotoSketcher colour pencil filter
FotoSketcher Oil Pastle Filter
I must say that the colour pencil and the oil pastel filtered images do look a bit pants when uploaded to this webpage, but they do look better at full resolution.
We are trying to meet the requirements of a particular client.
They want a pen and ink line drawing that is colored. Not too perfect as that creates a need that the drawings are questioned for details not yet ready at this stage.
This is something that I am playing with. Next I will take the line drawing and cut it into three drawings. Front, Back and Way Back and then Create flat 2d drawings for each and change linestyles to "Sketch3" and weights 0,0,1 with Transparency 70, 30, 0.
Then I will place the rendered image in the same manner to give the colors.
Add People into layers between the 3 layers sized and faded accordingly
Then filter those rendered colors and people - maybe the lines too.
Lots of interesting stuff on this post. A not on the custom linestyle. You could put that into one of your display styles as an option. render and then screen capture at same resolution. Pull into paint.net, Pshop, Gimp, whatever. I'm definitely checking out Fotosketcher.
Can't used custom linestyles in the display styles only standard ones. From what I understand is I can change something in rendering but this is very down and dirty quick which is not what rendering is. I will try that next
