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! Any CMLIs here? Who can mentor me on my P2C by skype?

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!

Yes I think landscape architecture in the UK needs a boost in profile. I can’t understand, for example, why the top universities don’t offer landscape architecture courses?

Hi
Does anyone have project info or links where I can find detail on landscape projects in Africa. Especially places out of South Africa.

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?
 

Hey Daniel – I have a quick (hopefully) question. I tried to create a shade structure, but I can’t seem to figure out how to control the direction the fabric is taking. On the attached SU file, I would like the fabric to have a downward curve (showing the gravity) and instead I have an upward curve. Is there a quick way of changing the curve……[Read more]

Hey Dave. One way would be to map appropriate landform/vegetation/sky images to a curved background similar to these at SCF. You could also do a search for sky dome at SCF or in the 3D Warehouse. If you intend to fly right up to the edge of the TIN, you might also need to extend the surface out a ways to meet at the image. By matching the…[Read more]

I am working on an animated fly-through of an airport. I have a tin of the actual terrain and have added my 3D model of the airport to the tin. My question for the group is, what do I do to eliminate “the earth is flat” look of my animation. My terrain tin extends in a two mile radius from the airport. I thought about putting a sky/horizon image…[Read more]

You would have to hace specific rules i.e. how much post production is allowed?
