A Place to lay my head...

Hey, just realized I forgot the bathroom mirror and lights. So I need a little advice help. Light mirror or sconces?

 

[Seliah (Childe of Fyre)]

I'd go with the sconces.... but that's personal preference on my part, also. I hate mirrors that have built in lights around the frame. At only 5ft tall, those mirrors tend to light directly into my eyes and I can't see squat as a result. LOL

 

[eclark1894]

No problem. To be honest, I prefer the sconces myself.

 

[Miss B]

I'll vote for the sconces too.

 

[frogimus]

I prefer the sconces also. The lighted mirror seems less homelike.

 

[Miss B]

You nailed it Frogimus. It looks like a corporate bathroom.

 

[eclark1894]

Finished the mirror and sconces. This was rendered in Poser using one infinite light and indirect lighting.

 

[frogimus]

I like that. Modern style but still a home style.

You know, sadly, I can't do plants yet. I might hve to see what I can scrounge up from Lisa B that looks like a decent house plant.

 

[frogimus]

Maybe some pots/planters with goto poses for 1 or 2 of her packs?

 

[eclark1894]

I can do pots and planters.

Okay, second bathrooms in now. I'm going to do the kitchen next and put in the counters. That'll pretty much be everything that I'm adding to the house at that point. Everything else will be furniture or appliance packs. For the house I have to go back in and clean up the mesh, and UV map and texture everything.

Neat little trick I found modeling in Blender from a Floor plan. Well at least this floorplan. As long as the floorplan has actual measurements. You can start modeling the fixtures, furniture in the spot you want them to go and when time comes to import it ito the actual scene, it will appear where it is supposed to go. For me this just means starting the basic shapes.

Started the basic layout for the island and kitchen counters and cabinets. in this case i had to look up the standard kitchen cabinet height which studies say is about 3 inches below the elbow. I am getting soooo tempted to rig Dawn in Blender.

 

[eclark1894]

Okay, got the cabinets in and segmented. they need doors and that's where the decision comes in on what kind. I think I'm also going to go ahead and do the major appliances with this set up after all... the stove, refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, microwave. I might even do a small appliances as well. I can always separate them out if I need to. And the scene will look more realistic when I render it in Cycles.

 

[Miss B]

Wow, the kitchen is coming along very nicely Earl. Very nice indeed.

 

[frogimus]

Wow, someone is on a roll!

 

[eclark1894]

Even found a site with decent free textures. Only problem is they're free until and unless I decide to sell anything. It's $80 for a license, but it might be worth it.

 

[eclark1894]

Okay, so I finished a good deal of the kitchen cabinetry today. Even managed to get some of it textured.

I like the marble of the counter and island tops.
