Does anyone have any advice for how to add some foreground vegetation to my scene, whether it rendering in the model or photoshopped in afterward? I have looked for some good 3d models, but skechtup doesnt seem to handle trees/bushes very well... I have found a couple of trees on the internet and photoshopped them in, but i am wondering if there is a better option.. thanks in advance!

I would try some clipmaps, I found some bundles at http://store.got3d.com/3d-textures.html#tree-textures I have found modelled trees use up too much memory to make it worthwhile.

Cheers

Those worked great (the free samples anyway)! I will have to purchase a bundle!

Beware that most of those trees look as if they were photographed in bright sunlight. I try and look for trees that were photographed on a overcast day. But again that's personal preference.
