Re: A few of my models, used in the LAZARUS comic bookImpressive work. What version of SketchUp do you use and what are your computer specs?

Re: A few of my models, used in the LAZARUS comic book
Thank you very much guys!
Thank you, Dave! I'm using Sketchup 2018. My computer specs are embarrassingly low. I'm currently working on a seven-year-old Dell laptop (Core i7, 8gb ram, Nvidia Gt555m). Here's another update.

Re: A few of my models, used in the LAZARUS comic bookExcellent! Your work, then, is a great example of how SketchUp doesn't really need a huge super computer like some people would insist.

Oh, absolutely! A few months ago I had to download the trial version of 3ds max because a client had a few .max files that needed converting into skp. On my computer I could barely rotate the camera around the models in 3ds max, while in Sketchup it was no problem (with Profiles turned off, of course;)). I just wish there was more work available for us Sketchupers. Freelance Sketchup modeler, always looking for more work. Twitter: @Xayxer

Re: A few of my models, used in the LAZARUS comic bookHere's another update with a model I completed recently. I can't post this elsewhere yet because it spoils a location for the next issue of the book, but I suppose I'm fine posting it here. It's a model of an apartment that serves as a "clubhouse" of sorts for a special task force of soldiers called Daggers.
The portraits arranged around the Daggers emblem on the wall are of soldiers who have died in the line of duty: In one corner of the room there's supposed to be a half-serious "shrine" to the leader of the Daggers, Commander Carlyle. A simplified and somewhat enlarged version of this made it into the final model, but I haven't made renders of it yet: Freelance Sketchup modeler, always looking for more work. Twitter: @Xayxer

Re: A few of my models, used in the LAZARUS comic bookWow! Photorealism is insane!

Re: A few of my models, used in the LAZARUS comic bookHere's one I finished just now. It's also for the upcoming issue of the book. Not a particularly exciting project, just a building (The Stanford Bioengineering Building), but I think it came out nicely.

Re: A few of my models, used in the LAZARUS comic bookTime for another update with another model from the upcoming issue. This is an upscale Mexican restaurant in SoCal with an outdoor area.

Re: A few of my models, used in the LAZARUS comic bookI've been experimenting with a new rendering technique that is supposed to emulate a comic book style. Here are a few of the results, some of them only with shading, some of them colored:

Re: A few of my models, used in the LAZARUS comic bookxayzer you've got very distictive touch, very talented!
Day and night difference in comparison to 90% of stuff posted here. Re: A few of my models, used in the LAZARUS comic bookReally wonderful. Thanks for sharing! I'd love to see a film about the process from story line to concept art to comic art, even print.

Re: A few of my models, used in the LAZARUS comic book
Thank you, rv1974! You're very kind.
Thank you, pbacot! That's an awesome idea, but I don't know if it could ever come to fruition. And I personally am only involved in the making of the 3D models and renders. Though with the new rendering technique I've been working on (examples above) that emulates a comic book style, that might change. Freelance Sketchup modeler, always looking for more work.

Re: A few of my models, used in the LAZARUS comic book
Yes. I love the style with the black fills and washes. How do you do that? Is any of it involved with setting colors to define areas in SketchUp image that you send to PS? MacOSX Mojave High Sierra SketchUp Pro v19 Twilight v2 Thea v2 PowerCADD
Re: A few of my models, used in the LAZARUS comic bookI feel the same way ![]() Anyway, it's cool to have a look at it here ![]() never trust a skinny cook
Re: A few of my models, used in the LAZARUS comic book
I'm glad you like them! The images that are shaded-only (black and white) are created by combining two layers. The first is the exported linework from Sketchup, which has been edited in Photoshop to look more like hand-drawn lines. This is what it looks like on its own: The second layer is a rendering from Blender's EEVEE renderer, which uses a material with Shader to RGB node and a Color Ramp node, which makes it show up as only black or white. This is what it looks like on its own: The whole process is a bit more complicated and time-consuming than I'm making it sound, but that's the basic explanation. The colored images have an extra third layer added which comes from a simple Enscape rendering. Freelance Sketchup modeler, always looking for more work. Twitter: @Xayxer
