Sketchy Shadows is a feature of
NprTools
, which creates shadows using sketchy edges or
Sketchy Patterns
from your SketchUp drawing. It replaces the harsh, solid shadows created by SketchUp with patterned shadows to really improve your Non-Photorealistic Sketches.

HDRi Skies
and backgrounds provide a full, 360 degree, image used for the visual background, as well as lighting and reflections. This adds great realism to your exterior renderings.
We have added a new Lighting Preset for HDRi Skies which automatically places clouds and sky behind your model.
See the new
HDRi Sky Tutorial

From Tony: "This is a combination of real handmade sketches, imports from 2d cad drawings and 'foam core' SketchUp modeling."
