problem with putting landscape

[pradipta]

Hi,

 

I am having some problem with realistic compositing of landscape in and around buildings. I tried with some many mehtods but nothing seems to work.

 

I tried with Total texture CD tree images in a image plane but not looking good, too blurry and unclear in the appearances. Uisng photoshop is good but needs lots of painstaking adjustments. When I dont get much timeline how do I cope with this? Is there any better and quicker method of putting landscape? Would be grateful for any kind of help. thankd in advance

Maybe post an image where you are at now. This will make it easier to comment.

Pradipta,

 

I use photoshop for my foliage and trees. It takes more time, but the results are better than if I do it in 3D, I believe. I have a collection of tree and bushes that I got from got3d.com, and then I use pictures of flower beds (like...say a bunch of petunias)....I pull that image into my scene in photoshop, then use the clone brush to paint in a flower bed around my house....I use the burn tool to darken underneath it for shadows...it works great for me.

 

I'd like to know other people's ways of doing this, though.

I do all my landscaping in Photoshop. Personally it's a lot quicker for me to do it this way. It's a lot easier adjusting colors, shadows, scale, etc. If a client wants something removed or added to the scene, it takes a min in Photoshop rather then re-rendering.
