This is my final scheme for studio. There are, of course, a few details not included, simply because of the time and difficulty of adding EVERYTHING into sketchup. I cleverly omitted the vector lines because A: They would have to be very dark to show up in this night perspective, and B: The chaos of lines defining the rooms below these pools would have created a real mess in the middle of my perspective, even if they were lightened up quite a bit. In this case it was just not appropriate to include them.
This was made using the liquify tool. Not particularly expert, but hey, I'm pretty happy with it as a first attempt. It took a while to figure out that I needed to leave the shell so you can tell it was a tortoise. Soo much fun. Why a tortoise and a chicken? Well...Why not? http://photoshopcontest.com/tutorials/25/the-liquify-filter.html
This was FUN. I love just playing with different effects in photoshop to see what I can come up with. My pool room has changed since I began working on this perspective, but it still captures what I hope the space to be.
This is a perspective of my outdoor pool area. Our site is in New Orleans, and this is a courtyard removed from the noise of the street. My scheme has changed since I began this view, but I think that it captures the character of the space as a collage.
