          chedda , JQL , thanks for the kind words. Coming from two gentlemen with your skills means a lot.

          txdave , know what you mean... grew up in south florida , plenty of these kind of ranch homes down there. got pretty fond of them over the years.

            I like the overall style.

            Something you might try with the grass texture is to slightly increase the size in the material editor. While not perfect, it helps to soften a lot of "tiling."

            I find this works on other materials as well. You do have to experiment.

            First picture is default size of materials tile.

              I like the tiling grass in this image... gives it a retro look!

                Sometime tiling for lawns creates the illusion of a fresh cut.

                Nice image. Try an orthographic view of the front

                  Bryan , JQL , Rich , Thanks for the positive comments . It's funny you mentioned the grass tiling. When setting up the render the tiling was bugging me a little, then i had an aha moment. Looks like they just cut the grass ! Bryan , I'll file your comment on scaling the lawn for future use. The experiments continue. Feel like a mad scientist at times. Proves even a tired old bird can learn new stuff.....

                    I would make that lawn in strips, make the one strip and then repeat, turning each alternate strip so as to create a difference to replicate a lawn mower 'cut'.

                        Too bad they do not build them like that anymore, here in Texas there was a builder called Fox and Jacobs that had a few models just like that late 60's -70's.
