French suburbia

lynn22:
This is my next project in the making, a "maison bourgeoise" (bourgeois house) with on the left and the back a park and some more details I'm still thinking of.

That's why I'm looking for realistic trees to simulate the park.
The plants with the yellow flowers are made with PlantStudio and it's OK since they are too far to show any detail. Trees however, are a totally different matter.
I trawled pages and pages of the major search engines results and nothing more came up. It's likely that there is a little gem out there but for now it's lost in cyberspace ;)

Indian8or:
It is already looking great.  Lets see how it develops.  I am not familiar with French climate, so I cannot comment on trees or shrubs there.

However a few suggestions,
1.  Proportion of the whole building.  Try to work on it a little, looks a little blocky, try to make it more taller and work on the sides of the building to give it a more "residence" look.

2.  I think you need to "space apart " the windows.  They look crammed.

3.  Try to make the decoration work around the windows thinner and more delicate.

4. Also increase the width of the slab between the ground floor and first floor.  You can leave some space above the windows on the ground floor.

5.  Also try to indent the stone work of foundation from the walls.  It is looking too flat.

I know the final result is going to come out nicely.  Looking forward to "housewarming".

falloffalot:
Very nice lynn.
The front door is really good.
The chimney brick texture looks a little inconsistant with the rest of your model IMHO.

Carrara has a fairly good tree modeller but it may not be realistic enough for what you want.
Maybe worth a look

$imon:
I agree with the comments above, the proportions need some work definately!

But very nice start so far! Do you use any reference images? Cause I dont remember seeing this style of houses much in france.. Maybe i just havent been in the rich suburbs, as this seems to be in ;)

I'm sorry I cant help with tree models.. the best way is to make them yourself of course ;)

lynn22:
It's been long in the coming but here it is.

Between fixing the proportions, guys you were right the ref image had it perspective somewhat out of synch, and finding extra software it has taken me longer than expected.

The house is modeled and textured in Anim8or, the scenery and render are Vue7.
