good morning everybody

Nice drawing! I would like to know if your sketch was made over a 3D SketchUp model. 

Dear colleagues,

Does anyone have any suggestions on innovative ways of promoting the projects you’re working on?Apart from media and personal websites is there for example other sites which allow to reach wider audience?Thank you.

For me mentoring is a lot to do with conversation, and whenever I get the chance I like nothing better than to sit down and chat.
There are however many people whom I admire that I have not yet met, and one of those would be Zaha Hadid.
Of those I am unlikely to meet I would have to name Francis Bacon. I really love his work, but I also like wha…[Read more]

Denis – try “From Concept to Form in Landscape Design” by Grant Reid.  It’s a good starting point for what you’re talking about.

Hello! I am looking for manuals on Design itself – especially combining forms and shapes(geometry), getting beatiful lines, proportions and finally getting harmonious composition. Any good books or e-books? The best free available on-line:) Waiting for advices!

Whats everyone working on these days that they would like to share with the group?
We would love to hear and see what great things you are creating…
Come on in and please share with everyone…

Thanks David and Bayazit.
I’ll have to check out some of those plug-ins, and while I’m at it I have to get V-Ray.
I’d love to see some samples of 3rd party plug-ins.

Hi Hefti,
 
you can find some examples at my DA Gallery 3D Jobs folder. Most of the recent works are produced with 3D vegetation, a combination of pre-made models, self-models used via proxies and rendered with MentalRay or Vray. Hopefully, they can give some idea.
 

Question: anyone have some pictures of examples of vegetation done in 3Ds?
 

oh late night 3ds what would i do without you?

coolio fox. i started a discussion about it on the main page… if you have any thoughts post em up, if you want to make it happen say something to that effect i want the discussion board to get the word out beyond the group.
