Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Still have some more work to do on the site, and the cars need to be replaced, but the house is ready for Maxwell to move in and make it pretty....on the outside anyway

great mansion. looks like it grew over the last 200 years.. that many alvoces and minitowers ... hope to see it in the textures as well.

Looks really fine as clay with windows!

and who gave you permission to model my vacation home in bermuda?!.... man, you could play a KILLER game of hide and seek in that place!

I've been thinking of down-sizing lately to a house of this size.

Seriously, good looking model. Get on those textures!

Great model!!!
Is this for a customer? If so, do you know if he has a daughter?

Thank you all much.
Actually yes, and they do have a daughter...I think about 18 or so, nice looking too

Fantastic!!

Nice house.. a little but smaller than mine.. but still .... cool..

House? This is a small village
Great model, one advantage is you could do dozens of renders from it for your own portfolio.

Fantastic, is this Wallace and Gromit's house? Hope they have a spare room or two

Excellent work.

Did you model the roof tiles, or did you use a plugin for that?
I'm working on something similar (but definitely smaller) and so I'm interested.

Hi Mark, yes the roof is modeled (with Rhino). I will likely have some close views so thought this would be a better approach although it's a LOT of geometry...could not do it if I did not have a fast computer with 12GB ram. Here is how I did it: I created a 10 tile wide by 10 tile high section, then created four separate tile color layers and randomly selected and assigned approxmately 25% of the total to each layer as this will be a multi-colorroof (blends of terra-cotta). I then applied the Rhino "jitter" (free plugin) command to just slightly rotate/move each tile for a more random look. I then created the grout "blob" and inserted at random. I also placed points along the bottom course as well as the top course for easy alignment. I made one tilefield like this for the starting (at the eave) course which required each tile to have the grout, and then copied and made a separate "field". I then inserted each on the roof planes, rotated vertically to align with the roof planes and used vertical planes to trim to fit. It took about two days to do it all....all the way around the house, which by the way is approximately 17,500 square feet under roof.

Outstanding Josephus you're design? Nice modeling, will watch this one.

I've been recently watching the first season of "Soprano's". This look like Tony's house.

Thx, gadzooks...yes, my design...actually using it to learn Rhino So far so good...working on construction docs right now (roof plan, elevations and sections are being "extracted" from the 3d model), so may be a bit before I get much more done on this, but will start creating and assigning textures little by little....will post update as soon as I get something "significant".

ps...love the Rhino 5.0/Maxwell 2.0 combo.
