Rendering techniques with backdrop

Hello again,

    Today's problem is how to insert the building into the backdrop so the foundation only shows from the terrain elevation (34" below the 1st floor sub floor) and the rest of the foundation is buried or hidden into the backdrop.  Is there a way to do this?  If I show the terrain perimeter, it shows up as green grass, and I cannot match the grass of the background image.  I would like to show a seamless background/terrain.

Thanks In Advance,

Lane

I've run into this very situation on several occasions and my solution is to add a terrain perimeter and use  one of the many ground covers in my library as the surface and then blend the color of the terrain with the background using the 'Define Material. tool (the rainbow). Go to the 'texture' tab and in 'Material Color, check 'Blend with Texture' and then click on the eye dropper tool in the lower left corner of the color window to grab the color of your background. I usually finish by adding a fence or some plantings where the terrain meets the background...
