      Hey cobber, how's things? Saw this on your FB page late last night but thought I'd have a look at a larger screen on the computer today to get a real idea what is happening.

      Have you thought about loading the model into Sketchfab and embedding it here to let us wander around it a bit? I'd like to get an idea of whats going on inside and out before jumping in...

      Always nice and clean images, mate. ๐Ÿ‘

      Just Curious...

          Some baked textures would make it sing in Sketchfab

            I'm not sure there is a proper renderer that bakes textures yet is there?

            Here is a quick mock up Post Pro!

              Blender will bake textures, ao, normals, full render. Basically anything.

                    I have to admit that I never really understood the utility of those baked textures. In that sketchfab model the shadows seem all wrong and way too soft. I mean it's like the light is coming from any point and the result is fake and cartoon-like at best. ๐Ÿ˜•
                    A raw Sketchup model with shadows is 100% better than that IMO.

                    Very nice work Richard btw. ๐Ÿ‘

                          Yeah I'm never sold much on walkable or navigable models mate. Buyers aren't impressed by them, they just click in to watch it move get lost and give up.

                          Not if you consider the other option is to spend some money on good images. There is a saying they use in advertising, if you haven't got good images - don't use images. Same I think with these!

                            Ignore me as I'm testing the affect of page load times with these 3D viewers

                                Why the Warehouse viewer has not "vertical" rotation ?

                                  Probably because you are using Google Stone not chrome or Prefire fox as your browser.

                                    @Rich:
                                    I was wondering why this page was dragging ass.
                                    I also get slow loading whenever there are dropbox attachments.

                                    I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                                        Revizto bakes textures too... Although I'm no good at it.

                                          I must admit while you had the 2 sketchfab links on the page I was trying to reply with a comment about how they slow the page down. I gave up because even typing was taking 10 seconds between letters.

                                          I think 3D viewers are great things but perhaps if they can be set so the user needs to click them if they want them to load. Otherwise they are thread killers.

                                          Sorry Richard, I've been meaning to comment on your images. Love them but I've been waiting for the solution to your imbalance to drop into my head, sadly I don't think I'm up to it.
