About the video: Preparing Scene File, Site and Surrounding 2

Overview

“With basic spline drawing techniques, I will trace the roads with the use of the Google Earth satellite image as a base. I will then form the flat site onto a basic terrain. Lastly, I'll show you how to create a simple context building with poly modelling techniques. ”

In this video lesson Sonny Holmberg addresses the topic: Preparing Scene File, Site and Surrounding 2, which is part of the Domestika online course: Visual Storytelling for 3D ArchViz. Create a realistic architectural visualization by rendering a sharp composition using 3ds Max, V-Ray and RailClone.

Let's hide this plane for now, and let's create a new plane to cover our drawn roads. Let’s rotate it to align more or less these roads and convert it to Editable Poly. Now use the Cut to draw some loops along the roads. Now select those vertices here and move them up to create a slope. Something like should be fine....”
