Just curious, did you use Skatter for the vegetation?

[Fletch]

no, I placed them in a grid with the move/copy function of vanilla SketchUp, then I used the Tools>Random plugin and randomized the rotation and scale.

This clearly needs work on materials.

The actual house I'm modeling this after planted the grasses in a grid.

background spherical sky a little too blurry, but not bad - no photoshop. Straight Twilight output.
Obviously DOF is not correct but it's a nice camera angle.

The second image used Perlin Noise procedural bump for the water in the pool. The top image used the sketchup water texture as the bump and results in an unpleasant tiling pattern.

It just keeps getting better and better (that's why it's called WIP). Who never dreamed of swimming in an infinite grass pool . Fletch, somehow I can't understand the pool steps (!?) Oh, it's a handrail.

[Fletch]

This pool has a built-in jacuzzi/hot tub on one side of the hand rail, and stairs into the pool on the other side.

The last one is outstanding!
