House Model (and French singing)

I don't understand the pretty music, but the model looks pretty cool.

I saw this also. It's a really nice model. The google banner add intrigued me. http://www.proteanclay.com/  A freeform modeler I believe with a good introductory price offer.

I've tried the model and exported as obj, rendered in TG2... nice. But I can't get the roof texture exported somehow. Anyone having luck with this? Or better, anyone knows how to do this in blender?

Thanks,
Frank

I'll see what I can do. It may be a UV issue... Just downloaded the model.

A little later...
I took a look at the copy I downloaded. I did not get any images that were used for the model. The object exported fine. I turned on all the Wavefront obj exporter functions.

the textures are embedded in the blend file. I had luck exporting them through file->external data->unpack ... or so, if I remember correctly. But I guess the reddish roof texture might be procedural?

I ran the model through MeshLab. It found problems. There are polygons which only have two vertex. Blender thinks these are fine, but I don't know of anything else which does.

Blendswap's site is very cool.  Glad I found it.
