This was quite a difficult but fun project; the brief was for a rooftop garden marketing render for a new residential development with a very specific planting schedule. The challenge was to accurately show a bunch of New Zealand specific plants and shrubs without the timeframe to create 3D geometry or the ability to purchase accurate pre-built models.

I ended up taking photos of the plants from nurseries and going old school with opacity maps (alpha channels) and 2D planes plus a bit of Photoshop to create this stylised image.
