Here are some renderings from a project that is in cd's now. Basically all the buildings are made up of three Revit project files. A through-unit, back to back unit, and corner unit. Each of these units have design options in them to handle end unit conditions. 85% of documentation is handled in the unit files themselves. Unit files are then linked together to make up building project files (i.e., complex "A", "B", etc) Overall 1/8th scale foundation plans, minimally detailed floor plans, and elevations are in the building files.

So far it is working out well, one glitch is that I had to reassemble the buildings in the site file as revit does not allow for nested rvt links, nor do I have control of design options in linked files, so that adds an extra step (two for the wishlist).

We are working on a few animations for a marketing video, I’ll keep you posted on how that goes.

Nice work CZ.

Your renderings can now be picked from any selection by the trademark floral arrays in the foreground. :D

Nice job, Chris!

What are you using for the grass texture? It really looks good.

We should name Zoog's grass "Augusta" because it looks like the grass in the Master's golf championship at Augusta National this past weekend!

He doesn't model sand traps though.

From an earlier post of CZ's

You can “puff” up the grass in Photoshop after the fact. 1. copy/isolate grass on a separate layer. 2. Rotate canvas 90 degrees 3. Apply wind filter (staggered from right or left) to grass layer 4. Rotate canvas back.

I've found this works well some of the time, but on occassions, the grass appears too "thick" using this method. Not sure why as yet, cos it always happens with a fast approaching deadline.
