Modeling, DesignWorkshop Professional. Rendering, Art*lantis.
This is a scene from a project I've been working on off and on for the past couple of months. I am just about to begin the animation renderings, but first I'd like to replace the large trees in the model. I am happy with the smaller trees, like the one inbetween the two houses(they came from the dw disk) but when they are enlarged they don't work well because the planes are too big. I have tried several different combinations of trees and textures, but have not been able to come up with a satisfactory result. The main problem I have is that I don't want to increase the file size too much - there are 47 houses surrounding a lake and treed area, and trees screening the houses from the road. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Andrea
