Here's my interpretation Stephen Atkinson's home in Zachary (Louisiana). I liked the galvanized siding used in this house and figured it would work well with HDR lighting due to the material's reflective nature. Originally, I included 2 large oak trees that currently exist on the property, but decided to swap them out for smaller trees as they obscured most of that nice reflected environmental light. C & C are welcome.
lol.. I went a bit off the deep end with the siding. I started by looking up the dimensions for typical galvanized siding, copied the profile with splines, then extruded the profile to make a 4 by 8 panel. Next, I threw a shell mod. at it to give it a thickness of 0.07". I, then, used a modified galvanized texture from cgtextures.com (fit to a 4 X 8 size ratio). In the closeup, I subdivided each 4 x 8 sheet and tweaked them (bowed them in the center) to give them a wavy appearance.
