Hey guys, I recently did a course for creating realistic plants (botanically correct) in SpeedTree( and soon GrowFX). I thought I'd share some of the final images with you. A little about the scene : Over 120 different species of plants was specially built just for this this scene from scratch, which include moss, grass, flowers, plants, ivies, vines and trees. I ended up using about 30 different species for the scene. I did use both Corona and V-ray to render out images. There are more than 400 billion polygons in the scene via instancing (Using forest pack pro) and over 100 million unique polys. I also did use over 400 textures for the scene ranging from 0.5 k to 4k images. Opacity is used for most leaves. All in all it took less than 8 hours to render the scene on an i7 4 core(8T) with 12GB of memory with over 60 render elements . (There are 2k and 4K renders) Here's a link to the course if anyone is interested : http://shlece.com/product/the-art-of-landscaping-with-speedtree/ I'd appreciate any feedback

Dear All, Long time member but my first post - almost 7 years fascinated by 3D!! My workflow is always changing however, finally decided on the solid workflow for garden/landscape visualisation for comment: 1. Vectorworks > 2D survey and 3D modelling. 2. Sketchup > quick drafting of house doors and windows (as accuracy is not required) imported into VW 3. C4D > texturing, planting with 2D billboards and 3D trees / shrubs 4. Photoshop > (clone tool) painting plants for still images. (obviously no good for animations!) A few examples for comment and suggestions.
