They aren't the photo realistic rendering that I am used to producing for clients but sometimes just a sketch is better. Clients can get hung up on details or feel like if the photo they are looking at isn't exactly what they want they need to look somewhere else. Hand sketching is great when you just want them to get the idea but sometimes you need to have the veracity of making things fit in CAD to prove something to them or yourself. That is where sketch up can be a great tool. Get your ideas out fast but be confident of dimensions.I show an exhibit that features Dazian fabrics scaling actual fabric photos to be sure of the effect. An example of a sketch over a photo.There is a very cool tool to align your camera to an existing photo. And a very sketchy style. There are lot's of styles and models out on the web so It's easy to build a library. If you have the pro version it all converts to .3ds fairly well so you can move right into 3D Studio or AutoCAD when you are ready.
