        wow, great rendering and composition! nice hdri, what is this magazine? is it issued monthly with a dvd? how did you do the grass cut-outs? also, did you use 2 grass groups and a density map?? also i would like to know how you did the hedge with arbaro (lots of questions, sorry πŸ˜„)
        a flawless rendering, just needs a higher SL (glass still grainy)

          Looks excellent Novena, particularly the saturation. I also picked up that magazine, it comes with some design connected models as well ! BTW are you entering the new Maxwell competition with maground ?

              peter_shaw, thanks!
              the 3D Artist magazine, I'm not sure if it is monthly issued, but it comes with a CD, and the #52 is dedicated to the arch vis...
              about the grass, when you asked about the cut-outs, do you mean the grass on the turfstone pavers??? if yes, it is just a density map, I posted a detail in this thread:
              http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=333&t=50891&p=460238#p460238
              yes I used 2 grass groups with density maps and lenght map, I'm still working in this one and added a third grass group πŸ˜„
              the arbaro hedges I took one of trees included and modified it, in general terms:
              scale = 1.3 (height of the plant)
              levels = 3 (trunk + 2 levels of branches)
              I could e.mail you the arbaro file, so you can study it and compare...
              and yes, the image needs higher SL, this one is just rendered at about 16-17 SL 😳

              Chedda, much appreciated!!! I have to check the design connected models included in the CD!!
              I have not registered yet to the Maxwell competition, but I have been reading all the info and looking for some inspiration, I must admit I have not ever used the Maxwell Render suite, not sure if I can achieve a decent image, I suppose you are in, are you????

              Cotty, thanks for your comment!!!

              thanks guys, best
