A couple of weeks ago, my boss asked me for some examples of really cool rendering styles. I remembered seeing this really slick toon rendered row of houses somewhere in colorado. unfortunately, that's about all i remembered. which made the image terribly difficult to find. fortunately, thanks to google's new co-op program, no2self.net built exactly the search engine i needed:
At first it was a little rough, so rob let me 'co op' it a little bit, so it returns more blog posts, and less RSS feeds 
While i was poking it, i managed to find the image i was looking for:
It has that 'hand of the architect' quality that's so hard to get out of a computer. And that sketchy quality means that clients don't think you've sorted out the entire projects, when you're halfway through schematic design.
When i saw the image, i wasn't able to use it. when i wanted to use it, i couldn't find it. so in the mean time, i've been making silly little ambient occlusion diagrams:

did you do that in paint
I find that I’m forever trying to unrender, renderings - don’t know if you use Cinema 4d or not, but the sketch and toon package does a pretty damn good job of “sketching”

click the image, it’s not my rendering. i don’t know what he used.

unrender is a great word for it
i haven’t tried cinema4D, although i keep hearing good things about it. Softimage has the toon shaders built in, but i haven’t had the time to do more than ’stick with what works’.
hmm, C4D is worth taking a look at…it’s relatively easy to learn, it’s fast and that Sketch package is really pretty good…oh by the way, love the layout of your page here, works great.
