How can I get the charcoal sketch effect with SW or NX?
How can I get the charcoal sketch effect with SW or NX?
(OP)
Hello
After creating a model..
How can I get a pencil effect similar to these ones with NX or SW?
I don't know if I can achieve it with their default renderers or if I need some special render, such as Keyshot.
I don't know if I can get it while viewing the model in 3D or if it's just for 2D drawings or even if I need to postprocess the image with photoshop.
regards

View -> Visualization -> Artistic Image...
...where you will find eight different 'rendering' engines which can be used to produce various types and styles of 'Artistic' Images. Below is an example showing first the normal shaded image of a model, then an image using the 'Hand Drawn' rendering engine set to produce as smooth and as accurate an image as possible and the lastly, using the same 'Hand Drawn' rendering engine, only this time with settings which produced an image with a much more of a 'hand drawn' appearance:
Below are three additional example using first the 'Cartoon' Rendering engine, followed by a 'Stipple' and 'Pencil Shading' examples:
Anyway, I hope this is that sort of thing that you were looking for.

Just be careful, if Sales/Marketing/Management see a an image that looks vaguely like the real thing they'll assume all the engineering is done and they're ready to release.
What is Engineering anyway: FAQ1088-1484: In layman terms, what is "engineering"?

BTW, the icon next to it erases the image.
Once the image has been created, you can use either the...
File -> Export -> PNG... (or whatever image format you wish; JPEG, GIF, TIFF or BMP)
...to capture the image on your screen.

I can see it say 'processing geometry' but nothing happens after that.

I do not and the artistic image looks like it is going to work but produces nothing. I tried creating a high quality image but was limited to gouraud shading. At least the high quality image command was nice enough to tell me why it wasn't working.

That being said, I'll take it up with the developer(s) and have them check the software.

Perhaps you need to evangelise more.
RE: How can I get the charcoal sketch effect with SW or NX?
If somebody is interested I've found that this drawing are also called xylograph, stipple, engraving, guilloche, hedcut or pencil shading. Just google it and you could find alternative ways to get it with other programas as well.

I'll try that evangelising. Maybe I need bigger glasses as well.
