Thank You all. I am having few problem the last few days with 3ds max. When I add a big in size and high quality texture, it crushes. I will work and have to restart everything this morning. I try reinstalling max but the same hapend again. So I will start posting again in a few hours. I have some updates to do.

Here a bit more work. I had to reduce the textures sizes. but they still look ok. (I think)

apart from the trees in pots that's a pretty cool scene
nice fountain, how did you do the water that comes out from the fishes?

i'd show you a picture to try give ideas on what you could do for the trees but i don't know what to search for in google

here's an ascii drawing

Code:

     __
    ____
  ________
     ||
     ||
   __||_____
  /  ||    /
 /   ||   / 
/________/

just make a square hole in the ground and stick the tree in some dirt there
put some brick or something around the edge of the hole and fill the hole with dirt

that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

The water is particles with blob applied to them. I agree about the palm trees, but if I put them in the ground, should I make biger in size. I mean more taller like Coco Tree?

try out both sizes and see what you think works

I change the pots. I think looks better. I am still having a problem rendering a biger size image. I know now is because the large textures and more because the Vray Dispacement Map modifier. Any one any sugestions how to handle those.

I`m sorry don`t know anything on V-Ray.


Looking at the image your suffering from the scale problem others are. Looking just at the benches and the bike on the left they look fine but then the bike comes to th top of the shop windows. Looking around the rest of the image I noticed the bench compared to the windows look hugh.

Maybe its just the angle

I think You are right. Thank You. I will work on fixing that.

no problem - as I said everyone has seem to have done this in this challenge.

What I do is important a human model and just compare everything to that, its the best way because you know how big thing look next to you

I think this is better. But there is much space there. I am thinking of working on some other sculpture for there other then the foutntain I have. Like eagle and a fish. Something like that. and some more green but diferent

I'm liking it Sokol, it looks loads better with the benches and the bike scaled down a bit! You could even fit 2 benches next to each other in that space too now but that's your call really, I like the clouds in the sky too, I tried putting some in mine but just couldn't get them to look right but you've done a good job there, keep at it!

I stareted this eagle

I think this is it. My computer keeps crashing when I add something more. The scene is about 45 MB
