[novena]

hi everyone,
here comes a test with turfstone pavers for a project I'm currently working on...
sketchup + maxwell render standalone plugin for sketchup (this image is done with the free version)

Caught my eye too.

Looking great however, what we need is a collision control setting to avoid such issues.

Looking good.

hi guys, thanks for your comments!!!

solo, the grass is done with maxwell's grass feature, I think it is not possible to apply a collision control, but I did some corrections to the density map to correct the issue...

massimo, much appreciated

gilles,

hi guys!
here comes another test image, same scene tested at night time...
for this one used a HDRI for illumination, the lamp is the HEB II 150-150 model from TAL (technical architectural lighting)
hope you like it

Nice!!

Wow that's stunning ! I guess that fitted into a more complex scene with 3D buildings and urban equipment would take a lot of time to render unless using a render-farm will solve the time problem Anyway... nowadays you can't even notice the difference between some renders and reality, just that renders are much cleaner than the real thing, that's why you achieved making a scene and a render that looks like a real picture

[novena]

Solo, I really appreciate your comment!!

omiKron, thanks a lot!!!!

hi again!

omiKron, thanks for your comment!!

tom72, thanks a lot, yes, grass is made with the maxwell's grass feature...
about DOF in vray: you have to create a z depth pass, then in photoshop use that pass to give the depth to your render using the lens blur filter...
the following tutorial is for 3D max but it should work similar with SU + vray

Carloh, much appreciated! I used SSS (single sided) material for grass, and a texture for the blades shared by Peter Guthrie in this tutorial:
