The trees are birch trees available from the Thea forum for free download to licenced users.The other vegetation is a combination of 3d grass such as from Itoo software that is available to buy on line and ones I have downloaded for free over the last few years.
(http://archive3d.net is a brilliant resource for free models) -
thanks davidh, for your response and the link...

What kinda gear do you guys have down there?
You bang out renders pretty quickly.
Stunning as always
There's a little bit of tiling on the wood but you need to look closely.

David,
These are spectacular! Do you do this as a business (rendering) or just your own projects? Or just for art's sake?

Really great!
I struggle with veg., so I render indoors -
Most of the images I have uploaded over the last few months have been from jobs we have modeled and uploaded here, in some cases, years ago.
Myself and my brother are architectural technicians and the vast majority of of our jobs are technicaly based ,i.e. planning,tender or construction/working drawings,with 3d as a bonus.When we are busy,I always try and find a few hours to "play"- try out different renders.As most of my recent images are based from the interactive mode from Thea,these normally render in the background,and/or overnight.
When I actually have a "lunch break"( when you work for yourself,this rarely happens) I always end up in Thea,either trying out a new render,lighting,texture or viewpoint, or checking out how some of the .3ds or .objs that I have downloaded work.
- as someone once said - Its not what looks real,its what looks right.
Regarding doing these images as a business,I have always found that the clients don't want depth of field/ foreground vegetation/mood,- they all want basic high noon,blue sky,but in my own opinion,the best images we create come from just playing around.
(this building/buildings are part of a scheme that I did for my cousin in Watford,UK,just copied and edited as components in sketchup) -
These are incredible! I really like the depth-of-field effects.

3 images done using the relight function in Thea.

More fantastic work. Although, in real life that metal bench arm, while beautifully designed, would leave somebody open to all sorts of injury lawsuits. At least in America.

This image was rendered overnight but was too grainy so I took the drastic act of blurring the entire image and layering additional planting in photoshop to create a depth of field.(regarding the vegetation,the trees and some of the low planting are rendered,the rest is photoshopped along with the web at the bottom right.)
The original render was way too green at the foreground so I added the coloured flowers and colour toned them so they help to carry the colour of the brickwork forward into the image.Similarly,the pink/purple flowers on the extreme left immediatly behind the foreground plant mirror some of the flower colours in the middle ground of the extreme right.

Heres the original render (reduced to 1600 for the forum)and a longer uncropped version of the first image.I have added a small texture to the image which helps to reduce the effect of the grain and also helps tie the entire image together.The colours are also more saturated,maybe a bit too much!

The colors are just great david!
I think the PS intervention gave the additional touch of life missing in the orginal render.
As always, great work. I'm a big fan of yours
