Formal Garden

[Stu]

Its been a while since I posted anything,so here is something that I sort of like....not really my style of garden...and I wont go into all the sordid details of how it happened.

This is a version of an image I posted on the Kerkythea forum and I have to say that its streets away from anything approaching 'photorealistic'. Apart from my general ineptitude with Kerkythea I think this is partly due to the 3D SU component plants and the lack of reflection, lights, transparencies etc.

Thats beautiful, fantastic work.

How big is the .skp?

Yes, Stu, I have seen it in the KT Forums.
You are right - these SU plants are (most of the time) too "sketchy" for a nice Kerky render (and the kind of photorealistic 2d plants would not render in Kerky without suffering with clipmasks and such and still ending up with some fake looking picture).

Yet I do really like the whole model and the rendering is "still" nicer (even without photearl plants and reflectuions) than a plain SU outout.

Very nice Stu.

Thanks for sharing Stu

Thanks All,

I would usually go for PR plant entourage these days but the Box Hedge had to be modeled and so, to keep it consistent, I stuck with SU components.

Solo, the Skp file was a modest 14.5 Mb but the XML file exported from SU was a substantial 320 Mb.

Gaieus, if I add 2D plant entourage [Tiffs] I would normally do it post SU and Kerkythea in PhotoShop [or in my case PhotoImpact].

Sure there is the post process (that I'm always just too lazy to do )
Anyway, nice scene as it can be with the given material!
