@pixelcruncher Thanks. Now I'm tempted to buy a nice 57 Chevy from CG Trader and modeling a couple more of those old house designs. Maybe not I don't know. I have regular work to focus on.

RE: Burlington Northern EMD SD45
Thanks everybody. Wasn't expecting this response.
Here's some more. Might not be a WIP by now.

RE: Conrail EMD SD45
Thanks Mike and Rich. I did this version pretty quick. I have a lot of spare parts. I'm settled on a weathered look and tall grass for most everything. Was tinkering with it some more and finding small things to fix or change.

Ant Chair - Series 7
Ant Chair I started modeling in 2010 with information from "Republic of Fritz Hansen" which is a Series 7 Ant Chair that was designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1955. The seat itself was tweaked with Artisan and the UV mapping was done with Fredo's Thrupaint. Textured in D5 Render. I created a solid color model and wood grain model and adjusted the materials as required. If you make the asset "unique" in D5 you can apply different materials or colors to the seat.

My trains folder is almost 81 gb!
My UP truck is too shiny. Good enough for who it's for.

The Office (Building)
Started this yesterday. Nothing too complicated. Based on a golden spiral floor plan shape and went up from there. I laid out the site plan in Autocad.





Sketchup AI turned it into Waterworld.

RE: Snowman
Trying out different icicles.
This is using icicles geometry nodes by Ander Goico which I generated with the help of Construction Lines (which is like a CAD addon for Blender) by Don Norris. I added lines alongside the trim, fascia, under gutters, etc and converted those to curves and then added the icicle geometry node to each line. Then I synced it to D5 Render from Blender. The Bronco is another Blenderkit vehicle. These icicles are more random. It's a little tedious but that's a given.

RE: Vintage Look
Dave,
If you or anyone else is looking for some mechanical drawing type work with Sketchup the Canadian Pacific Historical Association is a good source. You have to register and search. It's free though I should probably donate to them having used a lot of their materials.
They even have some old railroad structures and buildings.

RE: WIP - Kitchen
Meanwhile on the reverse side.
Spinning my wheels with all this professionally. All spent with Upwork which hasn't gone anywhere. Over 30 "proposals" and not a single job from Upwork and you have to pay for those proposals.
Making a few bucks off some work from Facebook. People don't even want to spend what I used to charge in the late 2000's. I have a couple of regular clients in the real world.
Oh well. At least I can still make pretty pictures.

Last Rendering for 2024
Last model and rendering for 2024. Worked on the model for the past two days in between watching paint dry. Did the rendering on the fly. Send any complaints to Rich O'Brien.
Happy New Year for those that celebrate except New Zealanders.

RE: Dexter
Here's another one with some mods in the rain and add some bulge to the lawn for those that celebrate.
