Great renders. My only suggestion is to work on the boulders, which look a bit fake

Fletch, this piece of art and some others you have shared on this forum are really inspiring. I think you might enjoy these two books:
A,B,S ketches by Majid Yeganegi who has a great Alphabet Inspired Sketchesthread on this forum and;
Bruno Manari’s Design as Art book.

There are also some other interesting references in some of the latest posts in the Krita/Sketchbook Learning Discussion thread in this forum that I think you might find interesting. You and Majid have some great talent and would make a great “team”. Hope you enjoy.

@ Fletch..
I welcome and would appreciate your accompany while need to know more from you...

The renders are 'smashing' and the lessons gratefully received. Rock on mate.

working with materials, vegetation (lawn using original Twilight Render grass component), people, and tone mapping

no photoshop/post pro

Couple of silly questions though. How did you create/what did you use for the background?
What material did you use to generate the grass between the parking lot and the building?

I am working on/going to build a model where I want the same effects.

ntxdave, It looks as if Fletch used a spherical tree line image he shared sometime back ( posting a link to it). It also appears that he used Skatter to populate the areas around the building with grass. I’m sure I’ll be corrected if I’m mistaken.

correct with the background image, it's just a spherical sky I believe I shared it here.

the grass is the original grass component I posted many moons ago here in the red carpet section.
In that component pack, there's a square 'patch' of grass that is created with randomly rotated and scaled copies of the Twilight Render grass component. I just copied and rotated that single square meter rectangle next to itself until I filled in the lawn area.

Thanks Fletch. That is what I thought but I have problems merging the ground with the background smoothly. Is there something I need to learn about how to do? For me, the problem really stands out if you have a ground surface and the object of the model does not take up almost all of the image (hope I am making my self clear).
