Summer/autumn

a misty morning version of the lakeside image.the model was re-rendered with a low sun but,again,all the same vegetation was used,just darkened and a low mist added over the far bank.

Great!
I am sure you have been asked before but where do you get your Photoshop entourage? -
A lot of the stuff I use over and over are Dosch and Evermotion products.I purchased them about 4 years ago and they were one of the best investments ever.But I also make a lot from images on the net,overlaying and blending in photoshop.I'm also constantly looking out for elements such as rocks leaves etc which can be easily extracted from their original image.It takes time but it means that you will have a ready made library and you can start post processing very quickly.
One thing I usually do is render out a very low res version of the model at the correct size and instantly start adding the entourage in photoshop while a hi res version of the render is cooking.Then, once the final model image is finished rendering at a higher resolution,you only have to drag and drop the hi res image in place of the low res and do some small tweaking.(I have attached a grass layer from the images, made in photoshop,feel free to use)

Great, thanks for the explanation.

1 more lakeside view with foreground depth of field added in the second image.the foreground rocks have had highlights burnt onto them in photoshop to try and make them more compatible with the lighting in the render.
-
Nice!

Very nice, most excellent, love it!
-
Very nice indeed!
I like the first one best.Edit: I think (this might very well be a matter of personal preference!) the composition could be improved. Currently, the tip of the tower is in the upper part of the image. It should be in the lower part. Think of seventeenth-century Dutch seascapes - if that makes any sense. I've been wrong before, though!

a distressed watercolour effect,maybe a bit too distressed!
-
a little less distressed
-
I like those.

Really nice renders, just something about the water, possibly reduce the reflection or more blur??
-
I think looking at the above photo that the reflections in my renders should be much darker.Next render I'll try and do something similar.Its really all about getting the correct lighting.My favourite light is definetly the low evening/morning sun because its possible to get much more dramatic images.

These are really nice! Both PR and WC. Peter

BORN TO RENDER
-
The original of the last image uploaded.i.e before the watercolour effect was applied.The foreground grass element at the waters edge is made up from the grass .png I uploaded a few days ago,but with some additional elements added such as the daisy's.I think the water reflection is still too blue so I guess its back to the drawing board on that one.
-
The water is fine, IMHO. The way it looks fits the style. I'd look into the purple cast on the roofs' edges, though.
-
Wow you are indeed the Master of Post production...the water reflection fits the scene very well and also the foliage..
Thanks for sharing your stuffs...

All looking great. Thanks for posting.

A"watercolour" sunset version.I think I will have to move the sky background(a layer in photoshop) over to the left, as at the moment the light on the buildings seems to be slightly different.But the mood of the scene is close to what I want to achieve.The treeline at the rear is also photoshop and when I used the "overlay" blend option,I got the effect I was looking for - an almost semi transparent,red colour as if the sun is burning thru the trees.
