Hi, you could also do a clay render, in setchup, wireframe, export as 2D graphic and overlay in photoshop, You just need to do them from the same scene in sketchup and show hidden . I have done this myself and it can look pretty impressive

Texture question
Hi all, I am in the process of getting my head around materials and textures. I see that when rendering to get "bump" I require a "normals" map. Since I am new to this what is the difference between a "norma"l and a "bump" map?

Issue with Lighting intensity
Issue with Lighting intensity I have experienced, when trying to alter lighting intensity on a number of occasions jumping from, say 75 to hundreds of thousands when you click on it. Thing is you cannot scale it down it just cycles. and you have to abort and start again which is not satisfactory.
