Just about finished this, although materials may still change. Client took the photo (which is overcast, as always !) I know the trees are a bit saturated, will sort this out for final image Modeled in ArchiCAD 8.1 / Rendered Lightscape 3.2 Any comments ?

Here's a new technique I'm trying when showing clients work in progress (usually before any ground model is done.) Rendered with ArchiCAD sketch render engine & the std. ArchiCAD renderer & then merged together & overlayed in Photoshop.(no filters used) It's a very quick way of showing early sketch WIP stuff without taking the model into a more complicated renderer / radiosity process.

Many thanks for your comments, I agree totally ! The first 2 images had a tight deadline & a background image was quickly dropped in. The trees & grass are too bright but I'm never sure if I should desaturate the image / green areas in PShop or desaturate the texture maps slightly before rendering ? The two Photomontage images were from photos in dull conditions with no shadows which really suits Lightscape's skylight settings. Thanks again for your comments
