              this is indeed a fascinating building.. the first time i came across this was when Russell from 3DAllusinos started a WIP thread. He started off with using VueXstream with Max and ended up with using Max alone with Mental Ray proxies. I think he was tryin to recreate the actual foliage as existing in real life.

                    awesome stuff pete, another Vue question: did u specify the placement of every single tree/bush? or is it randomly generated as an ecosystem? im wondering how much control you have over ecosystems.

                        nice pete. have you seen this in person.
                        it amazing to see this in real life.

                        The grass is always GREENER on the roof.

                          Any chance of seeing it with a different time of day? Theres so many dark shadows in the scene it kinda ruins it for me. But I can tell its a fantastic model.

                            Beautiful building - I've been a fan of Fay Jones work since the early 80s, and had the pleasure of seeing his Pinecote Pavilion in person.
                            As usual, beautiful rendering, Pete. I believe the building is in a more densely wooded site.

                            My avatar is an anachronism.

                              Nice work. The neat thing about Thorncrown --it was designed so that there was no component to the building that couldn't be hand carried in by 2 people in order to minimize disturbance to the site. No machinery used in its erection.

                              If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

                                Thanks y'all

                                The exterior vegetation was not done to accuracy (tree amount) as when I tried I could not find a view angle that showed the building as the trees completely engulfed the structure, as you can see by the interior shot below.

                                Freeagent, the ecosystems (vegetation) can be placed automatically, by percentages, by gradients, slopes, underlying materials, etc, etc, and it can also be done with paintbrush, and I normally populate using the function nodes then use the paintbrush to fill in areas, add more detail or to remove or adjust bits and pieces.

                                Here is an interior shot with line overlay to show beam details, I have not included the wall lamps.

                                  Wonderful Pete.
                                  Vue looks amazing in the right hands and produces the vegetation so well where SU struggles.

                                      That's a great model of a great building!
                                      Sadly my knowledge of Wright is limited (mainly to his homes), so I learnt something today!

                                          LOL, Pete you are way too modest! Vue was the first renderer I ever used, I loved the GUI, bundled materials and atmospheres and instant feeback you get when you alter parameters, materials etc, but V-Ray's render times eventually tempted me away. Every time I see one of your Vue exterior renders I get this aching feeling inside.... must.... get.... back.... into.... Vue! LOL πŸ˜†

                                          Keep posting, your work and modesty is always an inspiration. β˜€
