not quite, but close. I got a mixture of blue print diagrams and renders of objects like cellphones and bikes. Thanks though.

Now you've got me curious...

What style are you talking about? Can you post some pics?

[sad]

now i'm curious, too.

[JoelOtron]

Do you mean traditional illustration? Using 3d as a starting point then Working into it with photoshop?
I do this kind of thing all the time

[Mike Hooma]

joel: i do some architectural graphics and I've tried to get an illustrated effect in photoshop with sketch filter and all the others but it looked really ordinary, could you give me some pointers?

thanks,
mike

Other wise--I might try Painter over photoshop.
Havent really done this kind of thing (archetecural ill.) myself in particular.

That's kind of rude, FX...

What "illustrative" style are you talking about? Where did you find it?

[AdamT]

I think Painter is better than Photoshop at doing natural media effects.

[Mike Hooma]

thx for the links but i'd rather just use photoshop

[fxgogo]

Sorry for the lack of reply guys, that was rude of me. I had a internet downage sor a bit. I will post a pic, hold on.

[fxgogo]

Right here are two pics I found that sort of get what I wanted. The box thing was from the maxon site. I ended up not using the illustation style for this piece, it was a typical 'inside the computer with lots of lights and electronic references' style.

hey that flipper-thing looks good! nice dof.
there's just one picture - did you forget to link to it?

[fxgogo]

here is the other one

The style I was looking for was almost like the 70's when the airbrush was big and people tried to create realistic pictures. We thought it was really realistic then, but when you look back it has a unique style. So there is a flatness and uniformity to the look. C4d is actually really great for getting a 'technical drawing' type style out of it.

[Per-Anders]

ah, but that's all guache and hand painted rather than airbrushed :) i know some artists who work like that, crazy detail, but then illustrations need that kinda detail.

my favourite era for illustrations and design is the 50's and early 60's, typified by the great exhibition in london... and of course "the atom"! lol. hehe the era of science... in the kitchen of the future... and when they all thought we'd be flying around in rocket cars by now! but aside from teh really cheesy commercial work, there was so much innovation going on with graphic design then, the crossover from the american abstract expressioninsts, the influences of all of that stuff...

anyhow, show us the render so we can see you achieving this style :)

[fxgogo]

I did not end up going this route but I will show you guys a couple of pics anyway. I will do it at work.

[fxgogo]

Right here are the pics I belately promised. I have posted them on the Finished work section. Oh by the way this was done in MAX, not C4d, as my work is not enlightened yet?
