What you'll learn

Throughout these lessons, we will go through the steps of drawing and modeling a realistic landscape around a famous contemporary villa in France. We will learn the various modeling techniques used for elements such as custom trees, realistic grass and dynamic water. We will also learn to use advanced tools such as particle flow to distribute proxies of high-poly models, as well as plugins to grow plants in real time. By the end of the training you will be able to create your own architectural landscapes at any scale or complexity with more ease, efficiency and confidence. Software required: 3ds Max 2012, V-Ray 2.0, AutoCAD 2014, Photoshop CS3.
