Bravo ! Your last image brings to mind a question I've meant to ask..... the street backgrounds , just images you manipulate in post pro or are some buildings actual models using photo match ? Your images are so good it's hard to tell..... at least for me anyway... :^: :rspkt:

yes this brings reality. I am using streetview as backgroud.

Very easy.: If you use google chrome: Download the plugin Panofetcher. It allows you to download the google street view pano. When downloaded, crop the pano in photoshop (purge the white edges) and paste the pano as background to your scene. Make shure the positon of your camera fits to the rest. ususally things at the pano appear closer, then they are in reallitiy. ajust the point of view with twilight renderpreview before rendering.

In the case of tramways the position of the streetview panos are perfect, because the tramways are ususlly on the streets.

Te rendering of houses are mor difficult because streetview panos doesn't fit.

here's the sketchup view, to see what ist model, an what ist background. The hdr gives perfect and realistic light to the scene.
