Use Mulch and Groundcover for Realistic Renders 

Adding mulch layers to your 3D landscape design makes the render more realistic. Mulch not only enhances the visual appeal but also simulates real-life benefits like moisture retention, weed reduction, and temperature regulation. Groundcover plants, rather than just using grass, create eye-catching borders and lush green patches that elevate the quality of your Enscape renders.

Choose Native Plants for Accurate Landscape Design 

Native plants are the best fit for their specific regions, making them more resilient and easier to maintain in real life. In your renders, using native plant models adds authenticity to your landscape design. At Globe Plants, we offer a vast collection of native plants from different regions, and we also provide custom plant model services for specific projects.

Use Green Hedges for Privacy and Structure 

Green hedges are an effective way to add structure and privacy to your landscape renders. In Enscape, hedges can act as a natural barrier to divide spaces or serve as a backdrop to emphasise key plants within your design. Including green hedges will make your 3D render more realistic and visually balanced.

Enhance Visual Appeal with Vines 

Climbing vines add a romantic, picturesque feel to your landscape renders. Picture vines growing on a pergola or cascading down a wall—these elements create a stunning focal point in any 3D render. Adding vines not only boosts the realism but also captivates your clients with their organic beauty.

Utilise Depth of Field, Fog, Vignette, and Other Effects 

While crisp images are important, applying effects like Depth of Field (DOF), fog, vignette, bloom, and lens flare can significantly enhance the realism of your renders. For example, slightly blurring the background with DOF can add depth to the scene, making it feel more lifelike and professional.

Master Lighting for High-Quality Renders 

Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood for your landscape renders. Different lighting angles and settings can drastically change the visual impact. Using HDRI lighting in Enscape is highly recommended, as it delivers various moods and emotional tones, giving your render a unique atmosphere. At Globe Plants, we provide high-quality HDRI files tailored for Enscape, ensuring top-notch lighting effects in your renders.
