Queen Anne Style

I think it sticks out because there are no walks or drives or plantings around it. However this is one of the best Fotosketcher uses I have seen yet. Excellent!

Dan-- I used IRenderNxt for rendering, still getting to know its many features.
Aha, thanks for the info.
I have used a variety of true 3D modeling and rendering software packages over the years, and I am still getting used to working with Sketchup and then rendering with a third-party plug-in.
Currently battling Kerkythea (with its endless settings) as I am a believer of open source and/or freeware. I may have to invest in a commercial rendering plugin/app eventually though... -
Here is another one, I am concentrating on modeling for now, planning on composing a whole street scene.
This was designed by S.B. Reed in 1878.
-
Patrick, these are very, very nice. Excellent work.
Is the front elevation line drawing of the first house from SketchUp? If so, how did you achieve that?
-
WOW!!
Mate you have some stunning detail in these models, great work!
Mate in the first dwelling, do you understand why the cast iron work to the ridge would be incorporated? Fashion, a trim sought to signify greatness or a device to keep the pigeons off? Interesting! So glad though we don't do that now!
-
BTW mate the brick / stone? mapping on the last model is some of the best I've seen. No tiling that I can pin point at all. Job very well done!
-
Richard-- these are Arroway textures. (These are the free low res versions but the brick does look amazing (IMO).
It's not rocket science but you need to make some assumptions based on how houses are actually built.
This image shows things in progress. (Previous house)
Sometimes I do very detailed models,
sometimes I cheat.
Heres another one, not sure what style to call it. Tried some egg and dart trim, need to fix the flashing and a chimney and add a door knob or two.
Not sure about the deck railing, it is from a pattern book but not sure how well it would hold up.

Storefronts c. 1870
Clay model,
Quick render
missed a texture on the window lintel
-
Nice! Looking forward to the street scene.
-
Fantastic collection Patrick.
Over at FormFonts there is a horse & buggy by Alan Fraser that would look right at home in front of these models. Another idea is to model something like an old ice delivery truck to help set the mood when you assemble a street scene.
Thanks for sharing your images. They are inspiring.
-
Fixed a few things and finished the building on the left.
Need to fix the gold trim.
The Sherwin Williams paint collection rocks.
-
Working on a large Italiante house c. 1878, the rounded corner flutes on the porch columns had me stuck, took 3 tries to get it. Scratch built and includes glazing on a lot of the windows.
-
wow! The last one is amazing! I like this kind of architecture.
-
Nice work!
Love the detail. Looking forward to the street scape.
Are these actual buildings in Ypsi or a representation of the period?Robert
-
Nicely detailed models, Patrick. Look forward to seeing the final streetscape.
-
Street scape will be delayed. I have been experimenting with colors and have learned that I was letting the HDRI's significantly effect the paint colors. I have used different ones to tweak the colors so I need to re-balance the colors in a few houses.
I also found a book on American paint colors, the one on the right is accurate to the true historic colors. Lots of subdued restraint in the pallet. I think it looks great. Curtains add a lot too.
Roof color is a bit jacked. The png cresting are starting to look cheap and I may do a basic wrought irone cresting.
These aren't real houses, I do them from old pattern books.
-
I did this as proof of concept that I could pull these together and make it work.
Raw render, no photoshop.I have some troubles with glossy paint, ended up re-scaling things and need to adjust a few displacement maps. I think its going to work.
-
Very nice. It reminds me a bit of Summit Avenue in St. Paul, Minnesota.
-
These really are fantastic models and good job texturing and rendering them too.

It does indeed look similar. Good work, Patrick, I'm enjoying watching this thread.
