Chapter 5 Rendering in SketchUp
Combining SketchUp Output and Rendered Output in Photoshop
Since SketchUp has very good built-in support for hand-drawn linework through its styles,
adding a “handmade touch” to your renderings can easily be accomplished by exporting a
sketchy image of your current model in addition to creating a rendered image.
Let’s start this process by using the rendering shown in Figure 5.91 as it came from the
rendering software.

Although the grass and the soft shadows look good already, you might still want to add
some sketchy linework to the image. To do this, try out various styles in SketchUp until you
find one you like. Let’s use the one in Figure 5.92. Export it using the File k Export k 2D
Graphic menu item.
