Thanks for the comments. The cars, btw, are from FormFonts; the people from Poser.
Ray, it always helps to get a fresh set of eyes looking at things, thanx. I agree, it does seem somewhat sterile. However, most clients don't want to see "messy reality" (sadly, where this building is that would include the homeless). In fact, we "removed" a rather ugly utility pole in front of the building. One thing that would help are the road textures (too clean), but haven't been able to master mixed materials in Vue yet. Maybe a few more people?
