yes. I do this with almost everything I do.

Hi,

You can enhance fine detail in plants and grass by adding an AO element. Use a Vray extratexture element, with vray dirt set to AO and subdivs 32 or higher. do a few with different distances. Once rendered pop the AO pass on a layer in Pshop and blend using Multiply blend mode. Enhance the effect by duplicating the layer in Pshop and mask out where necessary

Cheers

Bobby, what trees are you using in here?

[glorybound]

I usually use i-Trees, but for this one I tried some Evermotion trees. I read here, that Evermotion trees are good for up close, but I don't like this one. If I had to do it over again, I would try my i-Trees. The bushes are from i-Cube.ru.

I kind of like the large foreground tree. It frames things nicely. Very moody. Looks like its time for a cocktail there.

I think the placement is good, it's just that the tree is very detailed, and it's muddy.
