      Cragside House, Rothbury - Northumberland.

      Finally found time to finish this old lady. I must admit she was a ball-buster to model at times! with only a small floor plan and pictures taken at ~30 degrees from the left because of the terrain (now I know why she's called Cragside).... There is a few mistakes which will have to stay that way.

        Mate can I ask - for what purpose do you knock out all these amazing works?

                Richard it's because I can't play darts πŸ˜„
                Seriously, for the pure enjoyment plus on bad days/weeks I can disappear into my own little 3d world and lifes sweet.

                          This old girl was suggested by TIG a little over a year ago, each time I looked I was put off by the roof.
                          Forgot to include the line work in the first post.
                          thanks again.

                            Outrageously good.

                            John, I have come to the conclusion you are a witch. You must be.

                            This is so good. Would love to know how you got the terrain and vegetation looking so good, if you wouldn't mind of course.

                                Thanks Lee & Majid.

                                Lee wrote "your a witch". Lol you always call me the sweetest names.

                                Regarding the texturing, there are only two "external" textures on the model, the stone walling and the roof tiles both of which have a bump map applied. The rest of the textures are standard SU except the curtains which are PNG material.
                                The vegetation is either PNG components placed into the model prior to rendering or afterwards in PS using jpeg's.

                                Hope I've explained this ok.
                                John

                                  You make it sound so simple. You're the Bob Ross of Sketchup.

                                          A hundred and a bit years ago an up and coming industrialist [Armstrong - later made Lord Armstrong] bought a small hunting lodge on a 'crag' on the Northumberland moors and the surrounding bleak landscape high above the small town of Rothbury.
                                          As he got richer he employed architects of renown to extend it in several stages into the grand house you can see today.
                                          As part of the works he added lakes [to act as 'headers' for his hydraulic devices] and planted endless shrubs and 'a million trees'.
                                          These trees are now fully mature and the house stands in a full blown forest - the micro-climate of the areas is completely transformed and shows what can be done by sensitive environmental schemes...
                                          The grounds alone are well worth a visit [best in early June when the Rhododendrons are in full-bloom] - but the house is even better and now often open to the public [after a while being closed for vital refurbishments] β˜€

                                            Jeff & Daniel, lol. Imagine the scene, the wife walk in and I'm stood their painting happy trees, a big mop of Bob Ross
                                            hair and mustache....she would soon have me sectioned!
                                            llonghi & Cherryni, thank you.
