      after a timeout I took this model again and found some more time to render a few angles. see a photo from the original set and the rendered replica. rendered with thea presto in record time of 3 minutes (would have been already good enough after 1m probably). absolutely no postwork done apart from contrast and levels.

          It was very good to begin with. Now it looks fantastic!

              Can you upload the model to the Gallery or to the SketchUp model library to download here or through SketchUp? The Dropbox links don't seem to stay around.

              I'm thinking of using it as a base for a buildable elevated home. Top level as a home office (with a great distracting view, obviously), the 2 living levels (with pool and heliport for an ultralight 2-seater copter (yes, they do exist), and the lower level as a workshop/garage ( to store an Elio car/Smart car/Lit Motors car-bike, or an ELF electric-assist trike). Needs either a ramp or lift-assist entry, of course, I plan to design that once I have a model to start with...

              Just following the old adage, "Good programmers copy, great programmers copy and revise it to make it better..." πŸ˜‰

                BTW, when I said "buildable", I meant the house, not the spire foundation. Since the filmmakers built a full-scale set, the house itself is "buildable". If you throw enough money at it, anything is "buildable"... lol

                I'm thinking of a hillside mounting, similar to the Stahl House/Case Study House #22 in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles.

                Maybe not as awe-inspiring as the movie, but still an inspiration...

                I just wanted a model to play with, and this is the best that I have come across.

                  I would also very much appreciate someone uploading the model again as the Dropbox links die rather quickly.

                  Again, thanks to Castromann for your fantastic work, the renderings and model look beautiful.

                      unfortunately not the last version - had some data loss recently. so expect some rough edges and bad texturing here and there. that's all I can offer. have fun!

                            Very cool! 😎
                            Any idea of the time of rendering ?

                                I've started to refurniture it...
                                rendered with twilight2

                                it has nothing to do with the movie, but I like the model.

                                  it has nothing to do with the original but I thought it would be a nice place like that to live...

                                        Is this the same model on 3Dwarehouse?
                                        https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=uf1afa523-e7ab-4ae3-8ce7-7168b61862f6

                                        If this model is unauthorised, let me know and I'll remove the link from this post.

                                          No, it is not the 3DWH model is nothing close to the detail of this one

                                          http://www.solos-art.com

                                          If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

                                            was able to run this by a friends vray installation with some geometry touch-ups and a bit of texture and light love. will see if can render some more angles.
