I stumbled upon these great photos of a garden landscaping project taken by Joao Morgado. The architecture is by Gonçalo Salazar de Sousa and the charming landscaping of the garden is the work of Topiaris, Landscape Architecture. I’d love to live in such a house, and don’t tell me you don’t have a sudden urge to fire up 3dsmax and scatter something. This is a great vegetation reference under the Portuguese sky.
“The Magical Forest”, the 4th miniCHALLENGE, starts today. Focusing on the use of iToo Software‘s 3dsmax 3d scattering plugin, your challenge is to take the freely available autumn park scene and develop your own story within it. miniCHALLENGE#04 will run until the last day of April June 2012 on a dedicated forum section. Good Luck!

Long time blog & challenges sponsor, iToo Software, created yet another very nice 3d park landscaped scene that combines distribution of grass, fallen leaves and trees with leaves tinted with the Forest Color Feature. You can download now the Autumn Park scene, ready to render on 3DS Max 2010 or higher, starting with Forest Pack Pro 3.6 and either VRay or Mental Ray.
Following a great thread in the finished works section of the forums, Chris (blowback) was very kind to send me a ‘Making-Of’ article about the 3D modeling of the ground cover in the architectural visualization of ‘Jeff’s House’. I hope you’ll enjoy this article and learn from it as much as I did!
