      Nice work Bryan, I would google "California palms" (Images) and use the feel of those images as a concept. Tall, elegant palms will transform that image with many palms and maybe some in the foreground also. Always practice safe design, always use a concept 👍 👍

      Good suggestions. I tried to work with the included foliage and in hindsight, I should have deleted it all.

      The high poly count of the foliage also created many of the problems I had loading and working with the model. Even with my new PC, it just bogged everything down.

        I found some pretty nice low poly Palms, about 0.5 MB per tree. I bet if you got rid of the backdrop and existing trees you would be net better off. Whet I see that render my brain cries out palm trees very loudly, Anyway just a thought Bryan 😄

              Many changes. Got rid of the stock foliage. That helped right away. Added L I am's palm trees. Got rid of the HRDI dome and used the render stock lighting and clouds. Fixed a lot of materials. A lot.

              This model is still jinxed in some way. It took ten tries to get it to render. But I like this version as well.

                    Got to give you credit Bryan you sure are persistent 😉 I think I’d have put this model on the shelf by now. Only going to make a couple of comments on these last two images. Keeping in mind a lot of this is just personal preference stuff. Overall these last l ages are a bit bright to me. Seems to wash things out a bit. Second is what’s happening with the palm fronds and big plants out front ? The color seems washed out…. Curious if you do any post processing ? 👍

                      Bryan have you considered joining a support group, maybe “sketchuppers anonymous” ? Your persistence is to be applauded. 👍 👍
