Very cool, nice image.

Ta mate.

Pretty much as far as the range oven will go for now. There might be a few tweeks but not until the final stages.

Fantastic stuff Bryan, Majid, really nice renders. Top class combo imho.

David, I can only say - 'you git'! A master class of artistic talent and something that always makes me smile. You are bloody brilliant mate. Really.

Thanks Dale, I'll look that up.

Place the range in the chimney breast and placed some utensils too.

As a sideshow and to get away from altering dimensions which I seem to be doing in my sleep at the moment, I am producing a cook range as would have been used in the early parts of the 20th century. The house will be showing different rooms at different times so here is a wip of the cooking range. Only an amalgamation of different styles found on the internet but this was a house for working class people so the decoration would have been toned down or missing altogether. I know my grandmother used a tool like this as late as the 1950's.

I got the main item, 64 bit and am over the moon with that. Better control over these pesky additional geometries and additional operations would be nice. Also, fix the windows explorer crashing thing 'cos being unable to import additional modules etc is a PITA. Better handling of graphics and textures would also be really nice but I am being careful what I ask for right now as I have my Christmas present early.

Hi Mike, actually it was wide of the mark on one issue and that was due to a bad edit. NONE of the criminal issues we face in society are racially based apart from racial abuse and ignorance of same. People of all colours have the same potential for antisocial and destructive behaviour. I thought about editing the post but reckon it is more honest to fess up to the error as a reminder to myself to use words carefully as they can be taken in more than three ways.

I am about done with hearing the charities cry to arms to send 'just three pounds a month' all the while showing very badly malnourished kids being fed a peanut based nutrition replacement product (which could be dosed with lysine for all I know, or some other monsato product). What they do NOT allow the camera to dwell on is the mother who is perfectly normally fed and watered, cut out by cropping to the sick infant. These mothers deliberately have too many children and then deliberately starve the smallest kids when food is in short supply. These advertisements used to have other well fed kids in the family in shot but no longer. When you take into account the cost of celebrity (another thing that grates my cheese) involvement OR the high salaries of senior management of these charities it really does take the biscuit, smash it into crumbs and sweep it under the carpet.

Never mind me, time of life or just about had it with ignorance syndrome.

Brilliant.

Thanks for the heads up, I would not never have known otherwise. Sorted now.

Not that I know of John but then I dare not mess with forum settings as I would probably end up living in the arctic circle. I will have a look and see if there is anything afoot and mouth, as in one in t'other.

John. I have sent you a PM.

Thanks John, already modified the bay as it was too deep. The side windows are only about a foot wide. I have a lot of groups to adjust separately as I go along.

Thanks John, been to the various planning departments and there have been no mods to the huse that would require planning permission. The original method was to remove the plans and replace that with a certificate once permission had been granted and there are no 'plans' extant anywhere. I tried the brick counting thing but must have got an error as 12' 2" is a bit much for a ground floor, even for those times. What I did was get the stairs right on the three levels which gives a height of 10 feet for the ceilings at the front and 7 feet for the ceilings at the back of the house which fits with the only experts I know, like those who lived there longest. My mum resided there from 1934 right up to 1969 when the family was forced to move. The bricks in the model are probably right out but I have been more concerned at the moment with things like stair and ceiling height and the windows. 6 foot high windows? weird in my mind.

Yes that is what I mean. Sorry not aux fais with the architectural terms. Thanks for the advice/help.

I am uncertain on a method to reproduce these window perlins in the picture. There is no real close up I can get that is any sharper than this streetview image and all I can remember is they are fern type plants. Considering they come from 1870 or so they are not in bad condition but methodology would be helpful. Thanks.

Nice model, another piece of classic architecture lost due to conflict, sadly.

There is only one way to protect mother earth and reduce our food/water/overcrowding and that is population control. There are entire housing estates here where there is generational unemployment and families are averaging between five and ten children. The 'men' involved do little apart from contribute to the population problem and drink cheap alcohol. Unless you take the hobbies of crime via b&e and twocing cars into consideration. Not all of these are single colour issues but mentioning race would probably make me a racist so keeping it simple......

Reduce to a manageable population and the planet can recover, but that does not allow big business to keep making profit growth does it, nor does it allow for government wanting to fund our reduced future pensions does it? Ever growing profits and the ability to keep reproducing without check are the biggest two wet dreams out there and they call OTHER people mad.......

No plans means a lot of this guesswork is gone over time and again. Changing one dimension means changing those around it and I am finding this a frustrating process.

Bleep and try again I suppose.
