      Hi I am looking at modeling a green wall in sketch up and was wondering what the best method would be. I am sure thier are some tools out there to help me model it I just dont know where to look, or how best to do it. I am looking to render it with either v ray or podium. would a randomly arrayed clip map work best ? Thanks for any help you can give me.

      ps. the images below gives a good impression of what i would like to achieve.

        i think your best bet would be to model the pole sections and then use a texture+clipmap for the greenery. For the podium render you could even use a .png image with transparency for the texture, as podium now recognises the alpha channel.

          I'd definitely go for a png file with transparent background (in case it's needed, you can always make a simple clipmap from it in PS or such). Podium can handle transparent backgrounds directly - I don't know about Vray but then clipmap it. Especially from already a moderate distance it wouldn't be obvious that it's just a single face you apply it on but of course, you can even ad some "undulating" surface to it if needed.


          Hi Remus... πŸ˜’ don't you have exmas coming? There won't be any promotion at SCF if you fail any!
