If realism is a goal of yours, you (and budding architects) should know that virtually no buildings in the real world have grass, plants, flowers, etc, right up against them along the foundation. And if they did, they would surely have real-world problems in short order. I would expect 3Dshaker folks to know this… and since this is a “tutorial” you are actually propagating the bad practice of placing plant life against a building. I’ll leave it to you all to research the reasons why this is a very bad idea. btw, I have bought a couple wonderful patio furniture models of yours. Great stuff!
