Some Medieval stuff
-
Gai, I always thought that medieval buildings were "on grade" for livestock, kitchens, storage and stuff. But, here is an elevated building. Are there functional, or environmental reasons for that?
-
Note that this is in a town - no matter how "loosly" this town was built in (I still have to add a couple of "dummy" buildings to represent this in the background).
The shadow at the bottom right actually comes from the city gate tower (I just have not developed that part fully and nicely for a render).
Most of the "simple" houses where we have evidence prove to be two storey buildings here but of course, there must have been variations.

I like medieval stuff, jejeje!
It seems to me that the cow is misplaced... it seems floating!
maybe you can move down so part of the legs will be hidden! -

No it's not; see a close-up with SU shadows on...

Well, another shot from the other side; now there is the city gate (and Aladdin with his magic lamp in the background), too...
The foreground tree was not intended to show some DOF - it's just too low res.

Sorry, I think I have explained wrong
I did not mean it was not on the ground, but in the showing composition seemed to me that the cow seemed floating... Only a matter of composition) -
Ah, OK, I see. Well, that part is the "art" part and I am not really good at it. To me, a picture is good when everything that is important can be seen.
(I hear Roger's steps...)
Here it clearly visible how "empty" the whole thing still is. But true that I did not contract to build the whole town!
Also, my ever first attempt to put smoke in in PP...

Well, last two "entries" in this series... The second image (of course rendered with a higher preset - progressive exterior in Twilight - and much bigger size) became the "winner" for a display on the site (now there is already an underground car park and a face-lifted square on top) where they will put an info board out.
To make the two buildings somewhat "different", a modified the texture on the left one a bit (added some "weathered" effect on the texture image although from this angle it is not too apparent)

Nice renders boss..though i would prefer the yard a bit more messy(maybe some random grass and some more tools )
.

Yes, indeed, that would be better. But note that the population of the town at the time was mainly German and they are a pretty tidy nation!
But seriously; this file was already so huge that I eventually even had to lose the "furred" grass in front of the buildings.

Dear Gaieus,
When you next visit the UK try and schedule a visit to the Museum of Welsh Life. I think you would enjoy the day out. It is also free, but might not be after the next round of spending cuts.
Also this:

Yeah the fact that you can t add more details when u want to it s pretty sad,but well..u still nailed it.

Thanks Bob, interesting (and nice)videos. We also have something similar - at a couple of places in Hungary but the biggest is just a bit north of the capital, in Szentendre although that mainly displays "folk" architecture from all around the country and some of the neighbouring ones. I could not really decide what video to showcase so here is a whole search result on YT.
I used to work with the Bath Heritage Gang as well as with the Chichester Municipality and when visiting them, the also took us to some really nice similar places in the countryside. However next time I go to Western Britain, I will definitely try to include your suggestion.
@Ely; I never "finish" a single project. I may stop developing it at a stage (especially when I have already got paid) but you can never say that i could not bear some more tweaking.
Now this model already has some four times more polygons than my "old" (and never finished) Gothic project where I have all the ribbed vaulting and such detailed inside

Nice work mate, love the renders
-
very nice! could you possibly give a walk through on how you created the wall roughness?
-
Hi Chris & Rocky - and thanks...
Well, so the bump map... Surely I could put something together (although there are much more knowledgeable rendering people around)
-
i just realized what the cloud.rb is for and since i don't use it, a guide probably won't help me much. i do love the look though.

Gaieus,
This might be of interest to you, and to all those interested in conservation

The Sheldonian Theatre is just down the road from where I work.

I think Gaieus used a bumpmap with a cloudstructure. I also used one for my tramway project. I've made a seemless texture with Photoshop and mapped it with twilight over the surface. If you want, I can upload the texture tonight.
