Semi-detached house

I dug out the layout plans of an old drafting project and model the semi-d in SketchUp. My PS sucks so there isn't really much p/p besides replaced the sky with a photo, sharpened the pics a bit and resized them. Oh yeah, I also "brushed" (pardon my poor jargon as I'm not trained in PS) some grass along the edge of the lawn. Comments are welcomed and appreciated. Thanks.

Still struggling to make my renders more realistic, I use my limited PS skills to p/p these renders of the same semi-detached house model. Except the sky, all the "entourage" (slopes, bushes, trees and car) are part of the model. C&C are appreciated.

Don't you have earthquakes there in Kuala Lumpur?
Anyway ... AWESOME ... the grass and the slopes could be improved a little. They are too flat.

Very nice, love the last two images, very crisp.

Thanks, dereeei. No, no earth quake here in Kuala Lumpur. Yes, the grass looked flat even though I displaced the texture, I'll try the "grass brush" method posted in this forum when I'm free.

Thanks, John.

Maybe you can replace the flat ground with some more realistic terrain, more rounded. You can use Sandbox Tools, or Artisan (SDS)...

Thanks for the tips, dereeei, will definitely try that.
