Hi Thomas,
You can export great quality images from SU. The secret lies in exporting to a larger image size than you need and then resizing the image in Photoshop. You will need SU Pro for this, though, since SU Free only exports to screen resolution. Workaround: Install SU Pro and only use it for the functions that are not in the free version. That way you can stretch the trial period very long.

Hi,

I am wanting to know what is the best modelling package for exporting fairly simple models into Photoshop to be digitally painted upon. I am using sketch up, but, finding the edges very rough, and it seems not to be vector based. Using AutoCad also via pdf995. Both producing poor results when scaled or altered within Photoshop. Hope the answer could evolve around sketchup as Studio Max costs the earth.

Thanks.

Thanks, Jim, for the clarification.

(And thanks for those great plugins, of course)

I really appreciate the article, but I feel I should clarify.

The top scripts listed are the tops scripts visited on my blog and which I am the author. I don’t have stats about plugins I didn’t write myself.

I do post about a lot of other plugins I find interesting, I only host my own.
