Tadema,an acquaintance of mine passed along an idea to me last week.

Have you ever thought about 2nd Life? (google it) It's an on-line 3D world. Many people actually make and sell things within that world. You may actually be able to rent them out!

One again, awesome as always!

You got it perfect John 👍 Yep, been a Corrie fan for a loooooong time 😒

these are truly awesome. Really, this blows me away - I particlarly like the night one - so much depth. The other externals could do with a bit of wake but that is just because everything else looks pretty much perfect so it stands out a bit.

I know what you mean...

BTW this version of FFD is a tad bit better IMO

Well, the walls that we dig up are quite deep in the ground so I can more or less take photos from above standing there.

However nothing is excluded - a year or two ago, a firetruck came and lifted the archaeologist up in the air to take aerials!
Well. next time you volunteer to arrange the aerials session, and then you buy a pole and use the rest of the money for a PhotoScan license 😉 Seriously, I had an aerial photo job a while ago (the poles were far too short for an entire mall), and it turned out that it was cheaper to rent a helicopter for 20 min (it was very close to the airport) than to rent a lift/platform for a day (minimum). 40 min chopper flight == 1 PhotoScan license.

But enough of the Off-topic buildings - this is not about them but your model.
😄
Actually it is about using and having fun with PhotoScan, but I found no other suitable category than WIP 😉

Hi Kilgo,

Although I made it for an arch, this tutorial may be of some help for you:

It would even be easier now with Tgi3D SU Amorph (it has a free "training version" with poly count limitation only but your model does not look extremely complex).

Watch this video about its texturing tools:

Wow, one of my old favourite comedy shows. You've done it great justice, superb work as usual John!

😮 If you had not pointed it out, I would have thought they were photos.

Awesome! Figurine renders?! 😉

many thank's to all who like my work...

Cool. It is great when you have time to do stuff just for its own sake. This image looks awesome.

@orgelf
La sculpture 3D est beaucoup plus intéressant et plus difficile, IMO, qu'essayer de faire revivre une scène réelle dans une salle d'art.

Am I the only one that when I read mrSky and mrProxy I read it like "Mister Sky" " Mister Proxy"?

😉

Thanks to you Pixero. I prefer the photosketcher images.

Regards

Looks much better. I know this sounds nitpicky, but it looks like the sky has a plane's contrail on the right, and it is lined up directly with the corner of the building. You should shift the camera slightly so it's off the corner.

I agree with the background and the house. Background too close/too big. There are some big trees on behind the house and I was trying to get that to work but I think I over did it for sure.

As for texture mapping the wall - assuming this means giving it a material that works properly - I really struggled with this because of the shape of the wall. That is - beacause the wall curves so much and varies in height from 500mm to 1200mm I had problems modelling it in a way that didn't mess too much with the material I put on it. THere is a ctually supposed to be a double bullnose capping on it but I couldn't get that to work at all. Advice would be greatly appreciated.

Looks good! Maybe add some line work to the concrete sidewalk (control joints)to 'land' the building and also to direct your eye to the building.

Thanks, Glenn and Bryan.

Still can't get it working though, because I can't seem to find the right file. 😒 It should be called something like Blender+Cycles. But I can't find it on Graphicall. I use win7.
