For more terra mode stuff hit up our blog http://www.terramode.blogspot.com ill post a couple renderings here in hopes of initiating some discussion and work sharing. I think this could be pretty interesting if people start to share work and ideas. Please dont worry about putting up experimental or beginners work this group is for all experience levels.…[Read more]

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. Visual information is key to our industry. 3ds max enables the designer to raise the bar on the spread of relevant information.

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?

yeah. i hope this takes off. see how many of us are out there and what the work looks like. I think i might add a bunch of our images to get the ball rolling…

Looks good, I hope more people post their work.

I prefer generation hand drawn perspectives in pencil, then overlay with white trash using Pentel Sign Pen for line work and Chart Pak for color.

I like Copic Markers

NAQI IS MY FRIEND…AND HE REALLY TALENTED IN WATERCOLOR TECHNIQUE…

i luv water color the most.i can do marker too. im more towards hand randered for originality and naturalistic

i love to render my artwork by using marker color…..but i also know to use other medium like watercolor and pencil color..but marker i like he most

I just picked up a handful of Blick markers. Are they any good? I’ve used AD and Prismacolor, are these better, worse, or about the same?

At your request Jonathon I am going to attach one of my recent plan view renderings for your evaluation of its strengths and weaknesses….I would like comments from whomever has some input….good or bad…..It will be in the above discussions…

Lets get this party started! Show us some examples….

Response to comment by Brent Farrar, I have used turpentine and pastels on normal paper. you get a similar effect of watercolour, but the paper does not wrinkle, this was my solution to getting the watercolour feel without all the hassle.

Hey Brandon….thanks for the invite. I use Vectorworks to create landscape designs…..do you know where can I find more information on realistic coloring techniques to use on my Vectorworks drawings so it looks like I used real colored pencils. Are there any other ways to make the drawings look high end? Peace!

Hi everyone, i’m the new kid on the block from SA.

Wow, 97 members-strong!

hi brent – sketches i will do directly onto watercolor paper. but more complex drawings can be done on vellum or trace, scanned and then printed onto even very heavy wc paper using the (awesome!)epson 3800 printer – amazing – looks just like an original pencil drawing…

if you are doing watercolors by hand, what is the best way to get the architectural image onto a watercolor type paper?
