Process for orthographic, outlined, sectioned, images. Hi all, I've been working on a process to turn my SH3D model into professional style Axonometric (isometric, dimetric, trimetric) images suitable for a planning application. It also produces elevations, and I've tested sections as well. I'm trying to automate lots of bits of the process so minimal touching up is required though I will stress that the geometry exported by SH3D means that some touch up is needed. See here for an example image of four example styles that can be produced. Your imagination is the limit here, i.e. I've done "rough sketch" style too just by adding a couple of modifiers in Blender. I lean heavily on lots of Blender features. A template file will be included and any guide will be based on using the template. Blender is essential for the line art diagrams, the stage setup with multiple camera angles, it will make the sections more flexible than in SH3D, and lots of use of the compositor for producing layered images that can be edited. This is not really about how to use SH3D, it is just the feeder and the inspiration. The tools used are Blender, Krita, and (eventually) Inkscape - all free, opensource, and cross-platform. At the end of this I intend to produce scaled A1 plans suitable for a planning application that are at least as good as the ones my ex-architect created at great expense. (Note, these are not the detailed technical drawings. I'll still need a pro for those.) I'm wondering if other SH3D users would find this useful, and if so, I can flesh my notes out into something like a guide? Bear in mind I'm still working on this, so it isn't going to appear tomorrow. Drop a "Yay" or a "Nay" so I can gauge if it is worth putting it together. |
