Thank you for the answers and sorry for being so hasty! The "near-to-end"-version of this visualisation has to be ready in the end of the next week, so I am a bit in a hurry now...

@bocomofo_ Image studying is done - I have already set the shadow preferences in Sketchup to the proper city and the apparent season. Nevertheless I think they are a bit too long and maybe too dark. I'll check them again.
Any idea which trees form the 3D Warehouse look good on renderings?

@Gaieus_ Moving the post to the V-Ray subform would be really nice. I'll test the plugin - it seemes to be a really usefull one.

Thanks again,
Shane

PS_ I'll post some actual stands soon

English too bad or subject not interesting enough?

Hi there,

my English is pretty bad, so don't be annoyed while reading, please!

_The problem
That's what my problem is - I am now making a Visualisation of an Urban Design Project.
I have a bird's eye view image of a city -

,

and I want to render my Urban Design project and place it in this foto (placement - http://www.myimg.de/?img=Placement8fb0f.jpg ).
It's not only the buildings. but also the spaces inbetween (such as streets, public places, small gardens etc.), that should also be a part of the final image. Therefore I want them also to be a part of the rendering. - http://www.myimg.de/?img=100818withPlacescf046.jpg

I know there's a lot of work to do in Photoshop. But I wanted to show You what the idea of the result in the end should be.

_The questions

1. Which preferences in VRay will give me the best result, fitting to the bird's eye view picture?
2. Would You also render the trees and bushes, or would You place them later in PS?
3. I will be glad to hear all the tipps and tricks, You would share!

_The Software
Sketchup 6 Pro
VRay 4 SketchUp

Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
