What you all use for landscaping

[pradipta]

Landscaping using PS is one of most important part of doing 3d arch viz. And it's also the most boring part for me. Since, I do not find the proper resource and methds to beautify a render as it should appear on the marketing brocures.

 

I wnt to know you all do accomplish this part. What types of resouces you use and where did you buy them?

 

I would be grateful to see some informative reply.

 

Thanks a lot in advance,

Hello Pradipta

 

It is possible to use RPC trees with the Photoshop plug-in. You can also photograph plants and trees. And with photoshop you can create opacity maps and then use use it in your rendering as cut-outs. There are plenty of photoshop tutorials on this subject. At the moment I do not have the link. You can search in CG Society web site - photoshop forums.

 

Hope this information helps you

 

With regards

Pradipta,

There are several sites where you can purchase vegetation pre-masked.

One good source is the www.digitalnursery.net

I personally use these trees and still paint my ground covers in PS.

Another concept is using a 3rd party renderer like vray and use displacement for ground covers and grass. I also use treefactory and convert to vray proxies. Another supplier of trees is showcased on this site quite often. www.bionatics.com

 

Good Luck,

 

Robert Good.

Prior to the question, i've seen a plug-in to place landscapes or people on image automatically to scale. But i've forgotten where i've seen that, is there any kind soul who might want to share it out?
