TWL is soooo amazing: I added all of the "shrubbery", tweaked some of the materials, made the water per TWL tutorials. This is my model of Spaceport Systems International's launch facility at Vandenberg AFB, CA.
And all this rendered in less than 10 min!!!! (It was on the 6th pass when I made this snapshot.). Then, since it was too big to upload, I resized the image.
This program is just plain awesome
Thanks again, Fletch, for getting me started.
P.S. I've thrown in a fun view "from the weeds" showing the 2D bushes.
Not sure how to change the background sky yet, but I'm getting there.

Re: My first external render
add some real sky, re-do the water so that you get some refelections, and some DOF to blur the foreground and you'll be off to a good start........
these are just merely humble suggestions from someone who is still grasping for good rendering techniques.....others will offer some good advice...!!

Re: My first external render
I really like the scene, the View is great as well as composition. I would change the grass as it seems the texture has moved slightly and when I do grass i would try two or three variations as that will look more natural. The ground texture is tiling, find a picture texture for close up and then use grass to hide the tiling in mid distance.
I would not change sky as it's the contrast of sky and factory/plant that's so appealing.
