Images look great. Are they part of an animation? What were the render times like on the Ivy shots - does "Ivy Generator" use opacity maps for the leaves and flowers? I assume it's this one ( http://graphics.uni-konstanz.de/~luft/ivy_generator/ ) you're using, as opposed to the one that comes bundled with Arboretum?
Yes Ivy Generator is exactly that one of your link. And yes I used opacity mapped leaves and flowers. But render time were absolutely brilliant (can't wait to see what RC5 will be able to do ).
At the original resolution of 1600x1200 the images were render between 40 min and 1 hour max on a dual opteron 270 machine. (Irr map + light cache).
Boring architecture, but very well done images. The landscaping is some of the best 3D landscape I've seen. I'd love to know your workflow on it.
I'd add displacement on the stone columns, they look very flat. The texture is also wierd. That's a big stone + thick mortar, it wouldn't be used for columns like that.
