Yes, the meeting went great! Stacy summed it up pretty good. It was fantastic to have Dominique come in and talk with us about her experiences using SSI on a project. From our discussions, we know there are a lot of kinks in SSI (as one would expect) but my feeling from her was that the document works well in establishing that necessary baseline…[Read more]

I thought it was great – especially Dominique’s experience with SSI for Lenexa City Center project. Several of the pre-requisites were un-achievable on that one. Those points were very worthy, highlighted the critical importance of proper site selction and deemed certainly worth keeping central in the SSI focus, but totally screwd the pooch (so to…[Read more]

I’m glad to see someone else interested in SSI! I’m working on a children’s garden project for the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. We’re designing the project to the preliminary draft SSI credits in hopes to create a sustainable landscape project, test the credits and criteria and eventually hopefully become a pilot project.

Best case situation, buy a blade server and kick your rendering jobs out to it. However, I would have to say that some of the best environs that come out of 3ds start as basic spatial models and are brought to life in post production. Animations are important to get right solely in the program and demand real power. You better have 2 computers or…[Read more]

I know of network rending, and have a vauge idea of how to do it, but I have yet to actually try it out. I’m currently running a laptop with 2G ram, 256Meg GeForce6800 Go Graphics Card, and a 2.17 Pentium Centrino. It isn’t fast, but it gets the job done. The dream rig I was planning before my Fiance’ got laid off was a Intel I7 processor, 32 Gig…[Read more]

I thought this might be helpful for people learning. It is 26 lessons on how to do arch/la visualisation. It looks really good, and goes through the whole process.

Here’s some trees I got a couple years back. They’re even labeled which is nice but due to size constraints I can’t send each individual tree already cut out. Just layer use selective color tool in PS and they come up pretty nice

kavan donohue posted an update in the group 3ds max + landscape architecture 15 years, 4 months ago

Can we get people to upload as many tree cutouts as possible?

Ryland Fox posted an update in the group 3ds max + landscape architecture 15 years, 4 months ago

I got a bunch of stuff for max. Onyx TreeStorm which is pretty good though memory intensive depending on the amount of polygons.

Has anybody seen Vray RT the new realtime renderer? Looks really good….

I won’t post the five pictures because they are really large but the season change in these is really good.
