I need to find a hi-res pic of the cheap black plastic/vinyl window shutters for a project that got dumped on me. I need to get them from a "straight-on" shot so I can cut them out and adjust the perspective to what I'm working on.

Anyone able to find a shot like this? I've searched Google, DA, and SXC to no avail.

I've tried searching with the phrases "shutters", "black shutters", "vinyl shutters", "window shutters", "fake shutters", "cheap shutters".... Sad

These are the shutters I'm looking for but I need BIG version and a straighter angle (and preferably no light dappling/shadows).

You guys & gals are the BEST!

Found one that will work and got the pic done. This was a rush job so I was feeling the pressure. Shocked

Once approved I'll post the pic for you guys to tear it apart for the errors in it. Laughing

Here's the pic I'm working on. The idea was to do a before/after for our log siding, cultured stone and other products. Problem is we didn't have any aesthetically pleasing photos of this type of project house. So I had to take a finished house and recreate the before and after.

There's some errors and details that I need to hit I'm pretty happy with how it turned out so far. I'm sure Voks will find the perspective problems. Wink

Brilliant! Shocked

I have zero clue how to do a 3D render like that. Not even the slightest hint of where to start beyond needing the software (although I do have Sketchup). Confused

*saves files

Thanks Rangizzz! I may edit this now. Cool

Picture is perfect for sales/website. The people on this site will find small problems on it, but were choppers, we spend hours staring at pictures picking them apart.

For everyday people they will believe what they see because they don't have a eye for it.

If you ask them whats wrong with this picture, you give them a chance to think it over, but If you hand them a brochure and say this is what we can do for you, they will love it.

Only quick fix I can see is fixing the color on the back ground to have it blend more with the house, but then again, that will make the house stand out less.
