Daniel – You’re work on SketchUp is really remarkable. My opinion on SketchUp has improved as I see how much can be done with it showing realistic conceptual landscape designs. You’re making an impression on the technology in this field.

Jon Q. asked about construction documents for green street work. After mining Portland’s BES site, i found a lot. Very helpful.

Hey..my name’s rahmaan
I want to learn some more to be adept at applying skethcup. where i can download the tutorial in PDF files
thx a lot..

I meant to add, use the trees as proxies otherwise the polygon count will kill you.

I like the Luxigon style where pretty much everything but the basic render is done in photoshop. but if you can get onyx Treestorm which comes with a grass generator and and a lot of trees that can be changed and there is a free ivy generator that I posted somewhere on here but I can’t remember the name.

Most people just seem to get the…[Read more]

never mind, found the tutorial

I REALLY like the itoosoft, wish the full version was free though so I could use some of my own images. Still working on the shadows though…

I got the same question with Alexandru, I’v been told to use photoshop do the aftereffect of vegetation for plan or the cluster of trees and grasses in 3dmax would drag my laptop to work exemely slowly.Is there any good suggestion for the plugin programmes to create vivid planting elements in 3d max?

I believe it is a Nvidia 280 GTM, middle of the range but still better than the one on my old computer that ran max 2010 quite well. i7, 8 gigs of ram. Having some photoshop problems too. pretty much everything is frames per second related, it makes zooming and moving things around so hard.

New article that you all might be interested in: “Gardens for Recovery.”

My experience with 3ds max 2010 on Windows 7 Enterprise x64 has been very good. Its certainly a huge step up from Vista. I’ve got a nice set of graphics cards though so maybe thats the difference. What kind of hardware are you running?

So what are people’s experiences with windows 7 and max? I am running 7 professional 64bit and max 2010 64 bit and having some problems, mainly graphics card related. very low fps which is making it hard to model. though I am hoping that max 2011 which comes out in the next month will help.

Anyway we can get some quick sketch technique (marker, colored pencil, pastel etc) and rendering tutorials on here ?

tim-

you bring up a good point..atmosphere is difficult to convey in hand drawn work. all I can think of at the moment is airbrush..

Too many palm trees, so here is my frozen front yard, Shawn White eat your heart out!

anyone know the best way to convey “god rays” in drawn perspectives? thanks
