Hi,
Anyone have experience using the sketch renderer. I tried the presets, but a simple model sketch comes out as barely discernable. I can see that they are the same figures but most of the detail is lost. I realize it's a sketch, but is there a any setting that can create a sketch that looks less like a painting and more like a detailed colored drawing? Maybe more like comic book art?
Thanks!

There were a few freebie sketch settings , I never got anything to work well. It seemed very specific to a scene..
Comics you can do with some toon shaders.

There are so many variables in the sketch render controls I find it essentially incomprehensible to achieve the effect I want.
Another approach could be to do a standard render and use a filter/s in a 2D app to get a painting or drawing or cartoon look.
PhotoFXlab apparently can do this to a photo (or render) using one of their filters. About $80 but I think you also need to buy the filters on top of that.

Thank you. Top one looks very nice. I'll play around with photoshop and see if I can do it that way. Just seemed like the sketch render "should" do it, alas.
Thanks

Have you checked out Fotosketcher? It can do a decent job and best of all, it's free.
