      holy @#$& Batman! that's what I call a HOUSE. Nice (doesn't describe it)

      I have to ask: Do you organize a project that big in many files or do you keep it all in one, or a combination of both methods? The work you put into that is really inspiring. The mural on the clg and the trims? Thats just Sic.

          Thanks for the comments guys.
          I am not too fond of the library myself. It was one of the last details we were working on when the project got put on hold. I think the owners wanted a vacation from planning πŸ˜’

                  Fantastic job! How much time do you have into it?

                      That is really impressive. Amazing amount of detail. Roughly, how much time do you have invested in that? Have you tried rendering any of it?

                      I've been wanting to do something like that just for the fun of it on my own time as my company at most does massings with minimal details.

                        Thanks everyone for all the comments.

                        I worked on this off and on for about 9 months. I has gone through as many changes as I have opened the model. I also controlled the floor plan in cad at the same time. About half of the modeling time the design architect was sitting in my office looking over my shoulder. The clients spent quite a bit of time looking over my shoulder as well.

                        I have not tried rendering it as I have not gotten into any photorealistic rendering programs. I dabbled a bit in Podium and made one not so nice image with Kerky but that is it. I wish I had the time to learn but for now that is not in my cards. Thankfully SU is.

                        I am now working on another residence that is quite large as well but I am on a time and $ limit for the model.

                        Thanks again.

                                    Nice job, Eric. Looks like a mansion in Newport. Is this thing going to actually be built, or is it your "retirement house"?

                                    Great detailing and good eye for colors. Keep us posted...

                                      WHOA!!! Holy c**p!! Eric, I'm utterly blown away! That's one impressive "house" model (what an understatement!).

                                      Beautiful detail inside and out. Exquisite, Eric! I was astonished with the exterior detail...then I saw the interior shots with the library and curves and painted ceilings! Wow! Thanks for sharing!!

                                      I'm curious; how much time does something like that take to complete?

                                        Thanks Craig, nice to hear your comments.

                                        I worked on this off and on for about 9 months. It has gone through as many changes as I have opened the model. (floor plan wise) I also controlled the floor plan in cad at the same time. About half of the modeling time the design architect was sitting in my office looking over my shoulder. The clients spent quite a bit of time looking over my shoulder as well.

                                        Right now, job is on hold but the owner will build someday. Estimated cost is $6 Mil with current materials cost... but that is just an estimate.
