Queen Anne Style

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. -
Drooling to render these models some time soon.
(just too busy these days...thank shiva)
-
I am testing out a porch view. Low res render, it is getting kind of heavy and I am impatient for the render to cook. This is about 8 passes.
Found a great collection of face me plants on my HD, not sure where it is from but it is very helpful for livening up a scene.
Time to fix the sidewalks and the street, I have a crown in part of the road, but not in both directions, hmmmm....
No sky added yet.
-
wow it's looking better and better...
-
Looks great, Patrick. I know quite a few of the same period houses here have ornate iron fences and carriage houses; any thought to adding such site amenities?
-
Switched up some houses, that look better.

Thinking about fences & other site furnishings. Carriage houses would be cool but I would need to open things up to have room. I made a carriage but no horse
Funky rumble on the edge of the street ?), it was going away with more passes but I stopped after four.
I need to dig up a better sky, it was shopped in pretty quick. I shrunk the landscape where you can't see it but lost good reflections in some of the windows.
Thanks for the encouragement everybody, these models are fun.
-
Maybe a less saturated or less intense sky would fit better? It's cool to see all these houses together!
-
The plot thickens.
The little ice wagon is stealing the show.
Third stories windows of the Italianate house fixed. More experiments in landscaping. As well as architect, carpenter, painter, wagon maker, mason, meteorologist..
-
Excellent.
I expect to see women in hoop skirts and parasols and men in red and white stripes with arm bands and bowlers strolling along to take the air.
