Piranesi or Sketch up?

[Anonymous]

I like the vector character from Piranesi.
It is specially helpfull, if I don't want to show to the client not so much (for garauntee or something like that).

What ist better between Piranesi and Sketch up?
Say about your experiance.

The question was, Artlantis, Piranesi or other rendering software

Piranesi is not vector based ... so I don't know what you mean by vector-character. Piranesi is a raster (pixel) based painting program... that happens to understand depth (view "extended pixels") and have some very unique features that let you paint and insert images and 3D object into a static image in useful ways.

It can not render. It does not understand geometry or light (although you can fake light sources and make cutouts cast shadows).

You can improve photorealistic images in it, or create artistic ones.

Piranesi is a remarkable post-production tool.

Hello Karl.
Yes, you are right. But it can be manipulated, so that it looks like vectorbased graphic (mixed with bitmap texture).

The photorealistic rendering makes sometime too much.....without any further fantasy

I'd like to show often not too much to the client...but just image with eye catch.

I show you here very nice example, from ...somebody...made with Piranesi

Yeah, you know you should not copy someone else's work without giving their name. That was an image from Tony at JGT Interior Design and Construction. (I'm over at the Piranesi forums regularly, too.)

Shadows are typically generated in the original rendering software - whatever exported to Piranesi. The shadows in that image cannot be generated by Piranesi itself.

You should join the Piranesi forums at the Informatix web site (links below) and ask your questions there.
