Greetings everyone! My name is Robert Laguerta, working as CG artist at Architect Design Practice, Malaysia.
I would like to share with you the “Making of Rest House". It’s a house designed and modeled by Rasco Architecture, a company based in Hong Kong.

First we check our final render...
The objective of the rendering is to create an environment that will complement the house with the surrounding landscape.
Software used: Sketch up, 3ds Max, V-Ray and Photoshop.
Modeling:

House is modeled using SKP then imported to 3ds Max. Terrain is added using Plane standard object, adding segments to follow the House structure using (push/pull) in Paint Deformation option to create some bumps.
This work based on 5SRW principle (Read an article: "Five steps to realistic renders"):
