I revisited an old idea with much better results. I think I'm getting better at this. C&C welcome
So, an image map shader. Did you also displace through that image? You might get interesting results if you make a displacement map out of it (soften, greyscale, perhaps some changes in the map by hand).

It's a blend of image map and PFs but I haven't quite nailed it. Better than the first miserable attempt though. I'll try a greyscale...see how that works.
You might try to get a texture with less sunlight in. It always loks a bit strange, when the texture's lighting doesn't match the actual light.
Btw, did you use "through camera" as projection type in your image map shader?
Nice idea and interesting place for a house!
Perhaps you'd better delete the lightsource in the house (i think I see one there?)
Or you set a quite dark sunset to give it more sense.

The house has transparent light blue windows and part of the challenge was to get blue glass showing hence the need for light in the bldg. Maybe I'll dial it back a bit.

Yeah that had dawned on me, better choice of images would be better. Was trying to 'dull' it down with the PF child but wasn't entirely successful.I don't have it up but I suspect Y projection maybe rotated 90 degrees on the X so it looks better but I might not have thought that through yet, this is a redo of an early TG2 project that keeps coming back. Back t'werk....
Sometimes it helps to use an additional camera pointing at the object or terrain from a different angle to make the camera projection less obvious.

noted thanks
This image just makes me wish I was a rich.
