      I have quite a few houses I have made in the past, just messing around. I have at work now V-Ray for sketchup, and here is a render I have done of the first house.

      http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/dweirauch/modernnew.png

      I am wondering, and I promise I have looked to try and find out, how do people normally go about adding in backgrounds. I can add it in under the environmental tab, however the images always get blurry. Should I add more detail, like perimeter fence, or decorative landscape boxes so that the horizon line is hidden? Also for the renders do people usually take pictures of were the house will be put, or do you just find them on Google. I have searched everything from "HDRI panorama" to "sky tree horizon line". I have many spherical images, however they are basic studio lighting set ups, or something that gets blurry as I stated. ANY help will be immensely appreciated. Thanks so much.

      Dan

        I don't know much about V-ray but I would add the rest in Photoshop or Gimp using layers. You will then have a lot more control and choice of backgrounds and images to use. For example http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=50043#p450710
