Thanks L i am. Working on another with slight changes to lighting.

Nice! one things though. The edge of the paving (Right Bottom) has the same texture as the ground.

[Bryan K]

LOL! Doh! I completely missed it.

Good catch.

[Mike Amos]

I think it's great.

Both images are very nice. Usually not a fan of extreme perspective but somehow it seems to work in the first image.

Thanks Mike! Thanks tuna!

I'd also like to thank you for making me think of two point perspective and using it. I had been totally ignoring that option for years.

Every time I render now I think "would this work in two point perspective? What would tuna think?"

[Bryan K]

Update. Minor fixes and changes.

Bryan they're all great images and the last thing you should worry about is what I think !

[jo-ke]

wow, these are awesome! I like them a lot!

[Bryan K]

Thanks tuna. Thanks jo-ke.

[pbacot]

Very nice! How are you doing the plants?

[Bryan K]

Thanks pbacot.

The plants are stock from the warehouse. In this instance, they came with the model. I did no further modification. In fact, I had to take some out in order to work on the model as they made the file too big.

The sky and background plant foliage on the right is an HDRI.

[Bryan K]

Update.

Very effective render, better with each render.

[Bryan K]

Thanks Mike.

Practice, practice, practice. I've put more RAM in my PC and it has helped. Still takes 30+ minute to get a good render and some still take hours. But it's no longer hours and days.

Thanks tuna.

Hi Bryan, nice but the trees in the forground are pretty ordinary, I would control this with Depth of field

Yeah, I was thinking the sort of the same thing that the foreground trees were not working.

I'll play around with that.

Final render. Somehow, the files, both skp and Raylectron, have become corrupt. I suspect it's the ridiculously long file name. I'll investigate it at some later time, For now, I'm satisfied. But probably not for long.

Changed many thing. For one, the car was floating! How I did I miss that?! I changed the lighting. I was using both sun and HDRI dome. I just used the HDRI this time.

I took L I am's advice and got rid of the foreground trees. Changed the road textures. Increased the bump on many textures. Increased the saturation. Changed the camera angle. Fixed the retaining wall in front of each house. I did not even know there was a wall there! I thought it was grass! Fiddled and fiddle some more with the lighting.

I started changing the geometry and found out it was a mess, so left it original.

So this is it. For now.
