Styles
One clever way to enhance your final presentations is with the use of a special feature in SketchUp called Styles. Styles are collections
of display settings, including new options like Watermarks and Sketchy Effects, saved in the new Styles palette. You can use Style
Builder to create custom non-photorealistic (NPR) Styles for SketchUp. NPR Styles can make your models appear hand-rendered, supertechnical, and everything in between......Read

thanx -cool!
3. Noeljarod on September 5th, 2011 11:03 pm
Great!. thanks for the tutorial!
The only bad thing that I found is the angle and the opacity of the image. I think that the image used as mateial should be more
transparent, and the image perhaps should have another perspective point, the final render could look more realistic. Could you
make an image trying this? I will appreciate it so much, cause im learning but right now I dont have a computer to try by myself.
Thanks again.
