Queen Anne Style
-
Thanks Mateo, it was great to meet you in Boulder.
-
Neat, due to the style of the home I think it would be neat to use FotoSketcher on the render to give it a more hand drawn look but still retain the shadows and colors. It would be easier to add plants which I think its what the render is missing. Thumbs up on a green version with a good brown for detail.
Cheers,
jsteacy

to complete the Queen Anne Look I would suggest Fish Scale siding over the entire home...
beautiful model and you did and excellent job capturing both the style and coloring of a Queen Anne...
-
Great comments everybody.
I used fishscale shingles where they showed up in the original. I'm still tweaking details.
-
Hitchcock don't use it for Psycho?
-
"Stick Style" house circa 1870.
-
you have a great touch in the classical.
-
Hi Patrick. Those are great designs.
The city I grew up in on the west coast of Canada has a lot of Victorian buildings, and your renderings reminded me of them.
Just curious, but what did you use to render those two images?- Dan
-
Thank you for the positive comments
I thought I would give FotoSketcher a try, kind of fun.
Dan-- I used IRenderNxt for rendering, still getting to know its many features.
-
that really suits fotosketcher well done!! house kinda sticks out a bit, but maybe thats just how it is!!
-
I think it sticks out because there are no walks or drives or plantings around it. However this is one of the best Fotosketcher uses I have seen yet. Excellent!

Aha, thanks for the info.
I have used a variety of true 3D modeling and rendering software packages over the years, and I am still getting used to working with Sketchup and then rendering with a third-party plug-in.
Currently battling Kerkythea (with its endless settings) as I am a believer of open source and/or freeware. I may have to invest in a commercial rendering plugin/app eventually though... -
Here is another one, I am concentrating on modeling for now, planning on composing a whole street scene.
This was designed by S.B. Reed in 1878.
-
Patrick, these are very, very nice. Excellent work.
Is the front elevation line drawing of the first house from SketchUp? If so, how did you achieve that?
-
WOW!!
Mate you have some stunning detail in these models, great work!
Mate in the first dwelling, do you understand why the cast iron work to the ridge would be incorporated? Fashion, a trim sought to signify greatness or a device to keep the pigeons off? Interesting! So glad though we don't do that now!
-
BTW mate the brick / stone? mapping on the last model is some of the best I've seen. No tiling that I can pin point at all. Job very well done!
-
Richard-- these are Arroway textures. (These are the free low res versions but the brick does look amazing (IMO).
It's not rocket science but you need to make some assumptions based on how houses are actually built.
This image shows things in progress. (Previous house)
Sometimes I do very detailed models,
sometimes I cheat.
Heres another one, not sure what style to call it. Tried some egg and dart trim, need to fix the flashing and a chimney and add a door knob or two.
Not sure about the deck railing, it is from a pattern book but not sure how well it would hold up.

Storefronts c. 1870
Clay model,
Quick render
missed a texture on the window lintel
-
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.
