How to Make a Photomontage with Sketchup and Photoshop Tutorial
In this video I'll show you how I made this photo montage using a render of a model I made in Sketchup and a photo I took from the internet. The final result is actually going to be part of a thumbnail for a video series I'll be making. Im not sure about the format yet but it'll probably feature 5 min videos of me reviewing all my favorite plugins for sketchup.

Any way, I was pretty satisfied with the final result of the thumbnail, so I decided to share with you guys the process of making it.
