playing with sketchup landscape model in skindigo...

Holy moly, that's beautiful!

Wow! Very good!

This is really done with SketchUp? Can you show a screenshot of the model?

That is impressive.... whoa. Are you using the new scatter tool in Skindigo?

Definitely some of the best landscape I've seen out of SketchUp! Well done!

Great mood, reminds me of France.

very nice, I like landscapes !

Wow, so many positive comments, thanks a lot!

lape: yes, it's really in sketchup, see the screenshot
Voytech: I originally intended to use it (on the whole green surface), but when playing with it, I got some error from beta version of new skindigo. Finally I used only component instances for grass and trees...it works, but really looking forward to use new scatter tool in stable version of skindigo

I will try and share one more scene from this model.

Wow, nice work.

The roadmarker texture (granite?) seems too clean for the scene, maybe experiment with it a little?

Anothe scene from the landscape model...I know, it is too dark, still work on it...

Juju: it should be dirty (or sandy) road, I will try to find better texture or different bump map.

Hi CoCash, by roadmarker I referred to the (granite?) bollards at the roadsides / road edge.

That last one is absolutely awesome!
As suggested, make the bollards a bit more...gnarly and then we should have a contender for the Indigo front page.

I'm not totally feeling that grass, it's like there's no gravity affecting it. Otherwise beautiful work again.

Thank you for your suggestions!
It took some time to come back to this model, but here it is. I tried to use better texture to look the milestones little bit gnarly and I also added very decent displacement to it.
Also added new grass proxy, which should be litlle bit "loppy"
I am still thinking about another shot from this model, but it should be very wide view from the hill in the background. The question is, if I could achieve the impression of distance in the raw render (to look the landscape -hills, trees, forest- in the distance more and more misty as the distance increase)?

Yeah, that looks better. Good move downing the bloom as well.
