Best rendering advice - Landscape Architecture

[ChrisAhWong]

Hi all,

 

I am a Landscape architect fairly new to rendering with Vectorworks and have found it difficult to smooth out the process of producing high quality rendered images and videos from VW models and in a decent timeframe.

 

What are some of your preferred modeling software to use with VW ? Has anyone had any success with Lumion or other rendering software?

 

Where do you get your plants symbols from to accurately represent the planting plan and individual species?

 

Thanks for any help,

 

Chris
