What render engine are you using?

[dezzdc]

podium 1.6

So you were viewing the model in a sketchy style (top of the image) and rendering in Podium right?

Which effect are you wanting, I am a bit confused.

[dezzdc]

the one at the top of the image. when i change the styles in sketchup it hardly changes the render style. just dont know how to get that first style.
Thanks for your help:D

Well the top of the image definitely looks like a sketchy style, not a rendering style. Odd that you are seeing it when you are rendering in Podium. Odd indeed.
You must have that style loaded into SU. It looks like it might be "Watercolor Paper with Pencil". It is in the Assorted styles in SketchUp 7.

If you already knew this then disregard. Otherwise I hope it helps.

Other than that I have no idea why it showed up when Podium / SU crashed.
