Nice work, Chedda! very crisp! What are you rendering with?

RIP Barry, it's never nice to lose a such a friend.

Thankyou Daniel & Utiler. Here's another view done with maxwell render.

2nd image needs tonemapping, but the last one is beautiful!! RIP to your friend.

Thankyou Olishea, i'm not so confident in post processing your right it is missing something. I'm still loving maxwell and it's better than predictable results. Otherwise dark days

nice work Chedda! are you using maxwells grass feature???

Well, it really didn't need much. In photoshop there are various contrast blending modes that can add some punch. Such as overlay, soft light etc...

This is all I did, if you don't mind:

Duplicate layer
Change Blending Mode of new layer to Soft Light
Change Opacity
Save

Thanks Novena yes it's maxwell grass. Everything is done from within the plugin straight from sketch up. Thanks for the tip Olishea maybe i'll have a fiddle. Here is another elevation:

I like the last one Chedda... nice lighting and nice materials, I like the point of view which shows how the project adapts to the topography... in my opinion: probably the wooden planks are oversized (at least to my eyes) and I would Y shift the lens in a way to see more sky and less asphalt...
are you using Maxwell render suite or is it the standalone plugin for SU???

Your right about the planks Novena in the final image after feedback I made them smaller. I have a full license for Maxwell but usually I stay within sketchup.
