It even illustrates the “Dennis Technique”, a hit in the early SketchUp forums several years ago. It bases all of its tutorials on free software ( SketchUp, Kerkythea and Gimp ) to create stunning, professional-quality renderings using only those programs.īeyond that, it features tutorials on non-photorealistic rendering, which is a method to create hand-drawn, watercolor-type renderings instead of perfectly-lit ones. My recommendation comes down to this: When you have “outgrown” my little Kerkythea tutorial linked above, then it’s time to look at this book. For a few months now, this book has been available and I was fortunate to have been given a review copy by the publisher.
