Only one deck (I only own one house...)  But I can always run more renders
of the same deck.  Perhaps this weekend if I get time.  Imay even post
actual photosof the deck when it is constructed.

Wow!

Do you use AutoCAD for this?  I've been wanting to render my house in
POV-Ray, but just not sure how to build the model.... my house looks too
complicated to begin modelling it.  I'm scared I'll have to design each
2x4, brick, panels by hand!  (Forget each blade of grass!)

Nice multi-level deck design. I'm sure the building dept. would like to see 
that render along with the plans. Good work.

Thanks.  Actually, it's less than 2ft above grade, so I don't require a 
permit here.

Yes, modelled in AutoCAD.  It's really simple if you know AutoCAD (certainly 
much easier than POV, especially since I already did the design drawings in 
CAD).  Then it's just a matter of exporting (usually to 3ds, then converting 
to POV using another prog).  Unless you really have a lot of time or can 
macro it, don't model bricks, siding, etc.  Just use image_maps (with normal 
maps if wanted), it's a lot easier.  As I said earlier, the siding and 
bricks on this render are from actual photos of my house.

You can try Sketchup (free from Google). Blender is free as well. Programs
like AutoCAD, or even Rhino, are overkill for simple architectural stuff if
you don't already own them.

Well, you needn't. Texture maps work fine but the most extreme closeup, and
then you need only a couple of bricks anyway.

Nice radiosity (or HDR??).

HDR and HDR-based lighting macro (~256 light sources) (HDR is made from my
actual backyard)

So how do you keep the grass under your deck so green and neatly mowed? :)
