house and rope

It's an image map, no separate planks, so I might have to up the displacement/bump or resolution.

One small thingy from this former carpenter: It hurts to see a door constructed like that; even in the middle ages they knew that a sturdy construction would require a diagonal beam (schoor).

I see. Other parts are so nice crisp and clear it stood out.

Thanks guys. I indeed forgot to import the bumpmap. Much better now. And regarding the door; this is what the archaeologists gave me regarding information, but I totally agree with you. I will talk it over.

@ Andy (in English): still, this is what a carpenter made for the real reconstruction, based on early medieval finds and 'op z'n vingers gekeken' by archaeologists.

Looks like he bought his lumber from a lumber yard though...he shoulda made it from a raw tree, hee hee hee

Thank you for the heads-up, Ulco.

I didn't build this house for interior shots, so had to add some parts (as extra objects). The lighting with the spotlight works very well. The hay on the attic are 2 populations on an invisible plane.

Wow, Ulco, that looks insanely realistic! Great idea how to make the hay.
That light on (or through) the wall looks kind of cool, but I don't know what it is. First I thought it's the sun shining through a hole in the wall, but then the lighting inside would be different, I guess.

Realism is great!  Only question I have is regarding the angled wooden braces. They appear to be mounted to the sides of the upright supports and crossbeams. Would it not have been sturdier for them to attached to the underside of the crossbeams? Seems like their load-bearing potential would have been much greater.

That looks like a sun flair to me.

[Kadri]

You are quite busy as it looks. Great scene Ulco.

[Dune]

The light is a sun flare indeed, morning sun coming through the stable door at the back. And regarding the braces; I initially made them like you said, but then the archaeologists told me to do it this way. It seems they did it like this back then. I was kind of pissed off, but client is king.

Always...all ways.....love the sun thru the wall effect....Alpha effect?

The render quality almost makes it look like it's not rendered with TG
