Formal gardens?

  Hmm. It's a difficult one.

  There are not many formal gardens that I can see, and creating one from plant packs would be.. erm.. prohibitive.

  The only thing that might work is a HDRI pack, say https://www.daz3d.com/swedish-castle-and-garden--daz-studio-iray-hdri-pack or https://www.daz3d.com/baroque-castle-garden--daz-studio-iray-hdri-pack I will confess I hold out no high hopes either will be exactly what you want as they are more like formal parkland gardens.

  And then there's this: https://www.daz3d.com/grass-mazes-for-daz-studio

  There are Zen & contemplation gardens a plenty, but nothing along the lines hinted as by the Cararra set that I can find. Sorry.

  Regards,

  Richard

  Thank you everyone, what I am trying to do is have a scene with say a path in the scene leading through a garden with a slight rise to the horizon where I will have my focal point building quite a few of the garden sets are very flat so not suitable.

  I have some flowers that were freebies but i might go mad plating them lol, i might resort to ultrascenery for the landscape and grass and get my trowel going afterall.

  If you have a few plants already to go in a flowerbed, something like UltraScatter could do lots with a minimum effort. Alternatively if it's so formal each plant MUST be regimented into an array where each is 20cm from the previous, then either UltraScatter Pro or my simple freebie linear array script could help.

  Regards,

  Richard

  @Pitmatic: IDK how broad or "majestic" that path should be, but the https://www.daz3d.com/old-park-corner has a side path leading upward (sorry, quick render):

  Predatron has one products with a path going slightly up on a hill:

  There is also this one, flatter, but if you're planning on kitbashing like crazy, it could also offer a base if rotated along the X axis (I think):

  Thanks @mding https://www.daz3d.com/over-the-hill-country-lane is a bit like a hollow way not quite what i am after but I am inspired for a different porject

  @Elor they are not quite what i am after but they might work I think i might need to invest in ultrascater.
