looks good, how about adding some texture to the tree trunk?

[DaForce]

Looks quite nice.

I agree about the tree texture, also a tree that big .. I would have thought would have cause some disturbance in the force..ah wait.. ground.. I meant ground. Disturbance in the ground.

Also those clouds look a little yellow dont you think?

hmm...ya the tree could use a little work. I have more of a problem with the superwhite stucco. Cant say I see alot of houses with that white a paint color. All in all though not bad. nice grass

[Da_elf]

cool house but i must agree the yellow clouds looks suspicious unless its a house next to homer simpson with the nuke plant down the road.

the grass looks fanstastic, and i agree about the tree. great modelling.

can anyone point me in the direction of a thread which shows how to get a grass effect like this. thanks

yeah, the yello cloud sky's a bit odd. also check the shadows on the leaves of the tree in the foreground - they seem a bit washed out?

No problem, there are definitly working download links for the grass in there, i posted a link on page 3 or 5... cant remember too long ago. But its there

Read thru all the different settings to make it render faster

ok where to start...
well thank you for your all your comments.
The disturbance thing is a good idea,this is true the ground around the roots would be up and downy.
Im going to have to try it out,the jobs gone out but you know there's always room to improve...just never the time!!!!!!

The yellowy cloud,i thought it looked a bit like a snow cloud!!and you know what they say bout yellow snow seriously,not sure what happen there,been trying out some free HDRI's out but havnt quite mastered them.

Yes,your right Percy,the white is WHITE!!I was trying to get a bright sunny day look,but didnt quite get it.Maybe i should of tried something like a glow or blooming to get the affect but not sure how to go about doing this.

Hi

it looks really nice. I agree with all the other comments about the tree and that is indeed some nice grass you have there.

Try turning the white colour down on your material on the plaster so that it is more grey. There is also something about the brick that doesn't quite seem right to me. It doesn't look as 'solid' as the rest of the building. It may be too much bump or variation or tiling or something but it seems artificial compared to the rest.

Keep up the good work though
