graphics for architectural visualization
The plane tree (Platanus × hispanica) is often used for architectural visualizations. It has a special look thanks to its knaggy and rough character which is especially interesting for architecture illustrations. Without the foilage the it will additionally not block the view to the architecture itself.

There are many ways to visualize a hedge. Especially in a 3D rendering a 3D model of a hedge is likely the best way to get a realistic look. But often times you need a quick-and-dirty solution especially when you want to add a hedge to an existing illustration. But also when you have to colorize e.g. sections or elevations a seamlessly tileable hedge texture could be very useful.
If you want to use the texture in Adobe Photoshop it is a good idea to create a pattern. Then you can use the texture to fill also large selections in your image with it. Test it – you can create nice effects with it.
It is also a good choice if you want to get a more abstract and less photorealistic look. You can play around with the saturation and the transparency of the texture to make the hedge not that dominant.
If you have to create a complete presentation of your architectural design often times a material library is a good idea to visualize also the look-and-feel of your building. Collect the characteristic materials and textures of your design and sort them in a separated area of your presentation. Therefore these kind of textures also work fine – yes also textures of vegetation like the hedges.
We are curious about your ideas how to use the textures – please drop us a line in the comment box.
Thank you!
When preparing architectural renderings and illustrations for potential customers you often want to add some flower cut out images, cutout trees, people silhouettes or bushes to your pure rendering when you export it from the 3D tool. These are graphics with transparent backgrounds that could be used as staffage (trees, people, flowers etc.) e.g. in Adobe Photoshop to bring life to your architectural scenery.
