does anyone know why might the eyedropper tool not work with patterns? i think i have done exactly everything in this tutorial but when i try the eyedropper tool part on a pattern i have downloaded from adobe stock, all it does is colours my shape black (the colour of the graphic) - I have watched so many tutorials about this and i still cannot figure it out
Hello Benjamin, I really like your tutorials it helps a lot. But I had a issue with export pdf with colored layers, I follow step by step, but there is only black line in my pdf file
Are you using Sketchup 2024? I googled this issue and it's a bug with SketchUp 2024. It looks like they may have released an update that fixes the issue - make sure you update your SketchUp to the most recent version.
Hey Banjamin. Thanks for the great video! It really helped alot. I have a question I hope someone can answer. When I export my color by layer scene in a vector or hybrid format from Layout (2024). The final result is a black wireframe instead of the hidden line style that was selected in sketchup. What could be the reason for this? I tried to look it up on the forums, but their solutions have not worked for me.
Does your drawing in Layout look correct before you export it? I have had similar issues when exporting as hybrid - I typically try to export as vector for linework.
@@BenjaminNaudet Yes. In Layout, it has the colors and hidden lines as they are in SketchUp. I start the export process as vector and once it is done, the drawing shifts to the black wireframe and the pdf is generated like that too.
im having the same problem, no matter how many times i set it up, the final pdf always comes out as black and white lines only, even if i followed all the steps on the tutorial and it looks correct on layout or even sketchup
hello there,im working with sketch 2024 and when i try to export the pdf it ignores all the different layers and line colours and creates a pdf with only black lines, could someone help me with why that happens and how to fix it?
What an excellent job, you have a very organised way of making illustrations. You helped me to find new ways to organize my work table as well as new tools in illustrator. HOW GREAT YOU ARE
The specs for the laptop I used in this video are below. Definitely better options for GPU and CPU today. i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz 16.0 GB RAM GTX 1070 8 GB
I found a PNG image of people silhouettes on google and image traced them in Illustrator. Then exported from Illustrator as a DWG and Imported into SketchUp!
I typically find low res PNGs on google and image trace them in Illustrator which creates the simplified effect. Then you can export from Illustrator as a DWG and Import into SketchUp. Or I will manually trace a silhouette person - simplifying them as I trace.
Amazing visuals as always, thank you so much for sharing your workflow. Sometimes it's a long process to develop one and it is appreciated that you stop explaining each step.
Hi Ben, my AO render comes out too bright and I've googled but I still cannot fix the problem. Can you tell me which settings to change in order the get the rich white texture like you have? Thanks
Hello - are you using the ambient occlusion rendering plugin? Be sure you turn off hard shadows and increase the occlusion distance slider. Let me know if that works.
