It varies... In this instance I rendered the props in Poser (Cottage, fence, dirt road... then exported it as a 300 DPI render into a PSD file... then I painted all over it and filtered the bajeebers out of it to make it look like a painting and not a 3D model... Like I painted in the grass, added lines and edges and flowers etc...
It depends on how fancy I want to make a BG... If I'm just gonna have it generic I'll just paint it (I have a ton of custom brushes I've made for that purpose.
but if I want it as rich in detail as this one, I'll render a 3D model first (I have lots of construction kits in POSER that I can build scenery and cottages, even castle building blocks if I wanted too... and then paint over it using it as a wireframe/template.
DAZ|Studio Is JUST like POSER and is FREE http://www.daz3d.com/program/studio/1_0index.php
However it can be an expesive hobby to buy all the nifty builders... Let me know if you want anything -- I'm a platinum Club member and I can get most things VERY CHEAP. Most things for me only cost $1.99
