Hey guys, this is a very quick render (for progressive that is) 70 passes in 27 minutes.
I think it came out pretty clean.
Unfortunately I cannot use Twilight for this project (a collaboration between Tomsdesk and myself) as I'm limited to Sketchup's ability to handle the scene, If the scene was without specific landscape requirements where I need to use strategically placed trees, populated grass and flower bed setups I would have used Twilight no questions asked.
I do not use 2D images for vegetation as they look tacky, 2D and after seeing many renders I've started to recognise the same things over and over again, almost like the 2 cutout people one finds in every render.
I added 'soft focus' (Richard from SCF would hate me now) and color correction in post edit.

Re: Residence
I too remembered Richard's complains, I hope I didn't tease him too much.
Saw your Vue vegetation renders, they're pure awesomeness. I hope Google gives us the much awaited high-poly support in SU8 and that someone starts creating DC fractally-generated vegetation so you can do everything with Twilight.

Re: Residence
Very cool. Is the siding modeled? It looks very good.
Re: Residence
What a beauty...!!!
This will enable you to use high poly Xfrog trees, grass, vegetation and other stuff by placing proxies in SU but render the high-poly 3D models in Twilight Render...
I like the subtle "bloom" you've added to this one...
I'm sure that we will see the KT instancing brush incorporated to Twilight Render...

Re: Residence
Very good render, and very quick. I have been trying to achieve that 'soft focus' effect in potoshop. If you have a chance would you be so kind to explain shortly how to do it? Thanks in advance
And there are some blue leaves. is it a failure of TR not for supporting backsides?

Re: Residence
Thanks guys, and yes the instancing brush thing will be great.
Ibon, I use Corel Paintshop, 'Soft focus' is a menu adjustment.
The leaves are textured on both sides, the blue you see is the reflection from sky, I may have added to much reflection to the leaves.

Re: Residence
Ibon, in any paint program you can do this:
Duplicate your layer two times. You should have two copies on top of the original.
To the copy on top, add Gaussian blur with radius = 10
To the copy in the middle, add Gaussian blur with radius = 5
Set both copies to "Screen" blending mode.
Play with the opacity and the light/dark levels of both copies. You might also want to set the top one to "Multiply" mode instead of "Screen" mode, depending on the scene.
Depending on your render size, you might need higher or lower Gaussian blur values.

Oulala, oulala, (As we say in France ), Really Amazing, you are very clever Pete, every soft you use, even it is for the first time, you always surprise me.
And more again, if it's possible, I wish that this image will go to the home page of TW.
Cheers, Fred.
