Terra mode does a lot of high end environmental rendering, and yes we do animations as well. However, we would like to start to apply more physics based animations that give real information such as watershed calculations.

hi there, looks good.
would be nice to see a larger version.
i am using 3ds max only little, but trying to improve.
do you do animations as well?

Looks good, I hope more people post their work.

Nice group. I look forward to sharing in discussion

The greatest designer is normal people—the best cities in the world were not designed.

Jeff,

How do you set up your perspective vantage point? What are the steps involved in setting up and roughing out your perspective renderings?

I want to know how to reach the ultra affluent residential clients in Shanghai, Beijing, and Dubai Any advice?

How do I recruit ridiculously creative landscape graphic artists for perspective drawings and collateral presentation documents?
