Here's the next house, "The Chesapeake". This is a much larger house than "The Caruth" so there's going to be a larger number of pictures in this single post. Here's the link to the file I've been working on.
As you can see, it mentions the height of each level (even the basement, which I didn't include but put in a 2-foot foundation instead).
Information for each level:
As you can see, I did not make the Main level the same ceiling height as it was in the original, but I guess that's alright.
Foundation level
Main level
Top level
I didn't include the Attic/Roof spacing as there wasn't really anything there to see. Plus, I hadn't added access to it from the top floor...
I've used the "Frosted Glass" texture on all the glass surfaces, so that's why a lot of things that looks like it should be see-through... isn't...
Front, aerial view. You can see I did my best to get it to look as close to the original picture as I could. There's a couple of additions to the side that's visible; I've added an enclosed water heater, as well as an electric meter, both near the side door.
Back, aerial view, showing the part of the house that wasn't in the original picture. There's a couple of things I've added here; the HVAC on the back wall, and the vent for the dryer coming out in the back porch.
Standing at the beginning of the stoop, looking to the front door. After taking all these pictures I realize that I haven't included a mailbox, but I think I'll probably add that later.
Side door. The only reason I think it's so dark in the shot is because it's late afternoon and the sun is down past the level of the small wall jutting out near the front door (that's my thought anyway, and I'm sticking to it
). The enclosure for the water heater and the electric meter are better seen here.
Back Porch, taken from the foot of the small stairs. The large strip of paving on the right is the driveway to a detached garage. I know that there needs to be a garage, but it wasn't included (I believe the catalog had many sold separately) so I didn't. I might add one later, or not
. I figured that since I'd taken those screenshots previously of the vestibule, living room, dining room, kitchen and laundry nook (as listed here) that the rendered pictures would be of different angles.
The vestibule, taken from the front door looking to the kitchen entrance. The door to the right of the bookcase is to a closet. For some reason the staircase rendered so strangely, so here's a screenshot from the same spot to show what I was envisioning of it:
The Living room, taken from the corner near the vestibule doorway. I think that I probably should have added a fireplace glow to the fireplace...
The Dining room, taken from the corner near the doors to the back porch. I don't know why it came out so dark... maybe I need to adjust the luminosity of the hanging lamp...
The Laundry Nook, taken near the window. The door to the Dining room is visible. Also, the tall cabinet is for storing cleaning supplies (broom, vacuum, mop, etc.)
The kitchen, taken near the door to the Laundry nook. You get a better look (although it didn't render well) at the vintage style cooker, as well as the side wall and the pantry doors between the vestibule doorway and the side door. Also, I've added the electrical panel down near the side door, which isn't visible in this picture.
Another view of the kitchen, from the sink looking to the doorway to the vestibule. I am definitely not happy with how the cooker, and the hood, came out. Here's a screenshot of that same rendering, just so that those pieces are better seen:
Now on to the top level.
Taken from the hallway, looking down the stairs. Visible on the left is part of the door to one of the "Chambers", and the other two doors (on the right) are to the Bathroom and Linen closet.
Once again, the stairs didn't render well, at all. Here's the screenshot:
The bathroom, taken from the window. You can see the shower in the mirror. When I went to take this picture, I realized that I didn't treat the walls and floor very well so I changed them; that's why it looks a little different from the floor plan screenshot of this floor. And upon looking at this picture I'm tempted on changing the floor tile to the vintage style tile treatment I'd used in The Caruth's bathroom (pictured below).
The first "Chamber" (the smallest one), taken from the corner near the door to the hallway (which was visible in the hallway picture). I've decorated this room as either a child's room (not a baby or toddler room) or a guest room. Or, if this were my house (as I've designed it), this could be my room and the next room would be the guest room. Lots of possibilities.
Disclaimer: Anywhere where there's an odd shaping to the top of walls, as in the previous picture, I don't know how to get do it in the software.
The next "Chamber" (the mid-sized one), taken from the corner near the one nightstand (which isn't visible, but the top of the lamp on the nightstand is). Also not visible in this picture is the full-length mirror which is on the wall near between the bumped out wall and the door. As you can see, I've decorated this as the Master bedroom (more specifically, it would be MY bedroom
).
The last "Chamber" (the largest one near the front of the house), decorated as my sewing room, taken from two angles. Yes, those are two sewing machines; I couldn't find a specific type of sewing machine on 3D Warehouse and just used a plain sewing machine as a placeholder for it. I've got a cork board where I can pin pictures of my designs, match fabric swatches, etc. I've also got three female dress forms, in three different sizes. I've got filing cabinets for patterns, bookshelves for books and notions (using baskets to store them in - which I didn't add
), and a long wardrobe for storing fabric. (At this point I'm not sure what I'd do with the closet in this room, but probably as additional storage.)----------------------------------------
