hi Kevin,
i have sent you a Private message, you will need to post twice more to be able to recieve it.
[quote=splitlid;921305]if anyone has some house plans that they want modeled into 3D then simply attach a scaled plan here and i will model it for you.
here are my latest efforts, the ever elusive photo realistic image is my final goal.i enjoy the work,as it helps me, so feel free to post.
Hi,
I am working on finding ways to build a Thai house in Phuket. I am looking for someone who could model in 3D a simple, yet intelligently designed, house for me. Are you working with an architect? How could we get in touch? Please let me know if you have a phone number.
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Laurent
Hi,
Would you know which 3D model software is esay to use for modelling houses? I would like to design my house, typical, traditional, simple Thai house before deciding to go ahead.
Thanks in advance

I am using Google (Now Trimble) SketchUp. You can do layouts and 2D modeling. It is simple to use. Short learning curve and best of all it is free. I just finished my design for our house in Phuket.

I used SketchUp and a rendering program called Kerkythea in university. Both are free, Kerkythea is not too easy to use though but it has great effects and guides are on their forum. You can select different render methods, some take just an hour but others can take your computer a few days to process (but the result will be professional).
I'm just getting to reading thru this subject thread while looking for Dan's 'River House'.
You certainly do some nice work here Splitlid. Are you still on the forum? (haven't gotten to the end of this older thread yet).
Question of you or other folks?
I had thought about making use of one of these 'photo hosting sites', but became a little concerned about various privacy issues, etc. One site in particular, Picasa (the google one) seemed to be saying that should you upload photos from your computer to their site, they just automatically took ALL photos from your computer?? Is that correct?

Up to you and how you set it up.Originally Posted by brianxx
hi Brianxx, yes am still here, I use photobucket for pic hosting and have never had any problem.

I'm looking into cloud rendering myself as I've got a very old laptop (pentium duo core and 4gb ram). Does anyone have experience with rendering in the cloud? Is it worth my money or are all the promises of super fast renders not true?
from what I know it can work out expensive, the idea is to ensure that everything is 100% correct before the render, and that rarely happens, I would upgrade your computer, gets you a better comp and faster render times.
the below renders took 30+ hours, but I usually set it up and let it run overnight, by the morning I know if its going to be ok or not.
render farms are for the pros, who make lots of money from their work.
my work is done using an Asus G75v.

Yeah I guess you are right. The problem is, I've got a state of the art desktop in the Netherlands which has cost me over 4000 Euro. My dad tried to render all my stuff there but he doesn't have a clue what he's doing. Shipping the whole thing is too riskyfrom what I know it can work out expensive, the idea is to ensure that everything is 100% correct before the render, and that rarely happens, I would upgrade your computer, gets you a better comp and faster render times.

A render like you've just posted would take over 100 hours on my laptop (using Indigo renderer) depending on the resolution.
hahahaahah getting your dad to render!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mine can just about work the tv.
the other issue you get is that postproduction is always necessary, so a render farm may render quicker but you still have to play about with the image to get it looking good. have you tried doing more post work instead of rendering for long times?

I've also tried to set up a connection with my desktop computer and let it render as a slave, that didn't really work out too since my dad had no clue what to do, lol.hahahaahah getting your dad to render!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always do the postwork in Photoshop but I'm not a very good Photoshopper yet. The thing is also that if the render quality isn't very good (grainy if I let it render for just 1 day) there is not much I can do to make it better as far as I know.
That might be an idea but I don't want to bother anyone with my problems. At the moment I can still do the rendering myself albeit very slowly. Most probably I'll return back to the Netherlands in April and I'll find a way to make it work.A simple solution would be to give your rendering work to Splitlid to do. Buy him a beer and a bag of peanuts and everyone's happy.

I'm sure you can bring the internals of your PC over and but a new box & monitor here.Originally Posted by Koetjeka

Yeah I'll just pack all of the components and take them with me, even the computer case can be deconstructed and reconstructed here in Thailand.I'm sure you can bring the internals of your PC over and but a new box & monitor here.
I really like your renders Splitlid, which programs did you use? (my guess is Archicad + a render program).
Cheers Koetjeka,
when I first started this thread back in '09, I was just a beginner and learning in Artlantis, that program is simple to use and you can be getting nice images within a couple of hours playing with it.
I moved to Maxwell render about 2ish years ago and now only work with that, although I do occasionally go back to artlantis if a new version is released to see if there are any major quality changes.
Maxwell suits me just fine at the moment.it has an archiCad plugin so very easy to transfer over.
I'm just getting back to reading thru this very interesting subject thread posting-by-posting. I've gotten up to page 6 and 7,

....and noticed that Danblack's house desires may have benefited from some references to this Dutch project I found recently when looking at 'floating houses'.
Waterstudio - Projects
Check out a few of the pics,....somewhat related in to the shape you are seeking, but 'flood controlled'
[note sure what you ended up with Dan, as I am only part way thru the subject thread]

Yep, project like that are really good solutions. Especially for the Netherlands as the chance of flooding is ever present because half the country is below sea level. It's of course also a very good solution for here in Thailand where the chance of flooding is also quite big.
