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.

Hi Barlow…hmmmmmmm sweeping statement, but none the less there is some merit in what you say, but surely it is not simply an american[USA] problem. I guess it depends on whose work you are looking at, and at what stage they are at in their careers. It takes time to develop individuality.

Dear Brandon and others;
Why are all american sketches the same and why are all american designs the same? It’s like copy – paste.

hi justin…why dont you look at landscape park duisburg nord in german…maybe it will help you for your case study

i am a landscape architecture student working on my senior project, which is a brownfield site ( old glass manufacture), and curious to see if any one had unique design, mitigation techniques and or a case study or to i should look in to.

Nice group. I look forward to sharing in discussion

WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT SITE SPECIFIC DESIGN…..

Great design is what is around us ,the natural environment.. the Japanese landscape artists were tryig to copy and paste it their own home environment..there are aslo a lot of superb details in nature.. every single thing could be taken as a sample.. a good design should inspire arstists, poets, composers, and manipulate people’s mind in a way…[Read more]

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

Maybe I shouldn’t greatest designer cause it is very subjective….How about who is your favorite designer……I would have to Jeffery Gordon Smith is a pretty great designer….He is a member of our group…You should check out his work…..

Very nice! I thought I was the greatest designer on the planet…..hehehehehe…j/k….

I will say…..Burle Marx maybe…..

Who is the greatest designer of all time besides the obvious answer of Olmsted….?

For me great design is:
1. Creating memory places
2. Creating a sense of place (genus loci)
3. Guardian of identity
4. Interest of users health, safety and welfare
What Mack mentioned is true for me as one who has had the experience on both sides, as the one to experience and admire and the one to create

Something that moves people, makes them stop and think “I wish I could do that, But even though I can’t… I am glad some one did it for me.”
