Public work involving stormwater management in a creative way is far and few…[Read more]

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

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]
