Let me be the first one to say:
WOW! (and welcome!)
Those are some amazing renders!What is your occupation in real life?
I'm two exams away to become a Register Architect.... until then, I'm just a CAD-monkey
okay, okay... My business card says: "Project Designer". -
Some of the nicest renders i've seen.
Especially the first two. Can you talk us through your rendering process? (specifically the wonderful vegetation) and how much post process is involved? -

I have created a decent library in maxwell studio of trees, palms, ground cover, shrubs, and grass. So, once I import my skecthup scene, I simply add the trees and hit render.
As far as post work... I don't limit myself on doing everything before hitting render. for example in the rendering below you can see how I aged the walls a little in photoshop. The aging of the walls could have been done while I was texturing the scene, but that would have involved more time creating custom textures.

Thank you for taking the time to explain this. greatly appreciated!

just curious, leo... you've figured out how to move objects around in studio, easily?
i do something similar, but have the vegetation placed in sketchup where it needs to be in relation to the rest of the model..and export separate mxs files.. so one might be the architecture, and then a few of vegetation..its a pita.. but.. it works, usually..haha... b/c i cant move stuff very well in studio..haha..
where are you buying your plants/trees from anyway... bc they def always look nice.

lol. I don't think there's anyone who can move things around in the Studio ... easily. It comes in handy at times, but that's one clunky, counter intuitive piece of software. And it sure likes to crash! I wish NL gave it a major overhaul, 'cause it could be great!
These renders are rrreally nice.

They use the same shortcut layout than Maya... so, if you know how to move the camera and things in Maya, you shouldn't have a hard time moving things in studio.
In previous releases it was slow to move things around, in fact there was a release where I couldn't use both of my monitors at the same time. But the latest 1.7.1 works pretty good in my pc
As far as tree goes, I use a combination of Vue 5, xfrog, Ivy.... and anything that I can get my hands into

It must just be me but I can't see any of the images and I can't even get the external links to work

Wonderful Sketchup scenes and beautiful renders.
