Title: A kayak, a motorboat and a tree house walk into a bar ...

Apropos of my topic in the support section about the kayak/motorboat anomaly, I thought I'd share the work in progress where the problem started. No kayak in this image!

The treehouse was commissioned by a friend; he wanted the top floor to be an observatory, so I had to make the house tall enough to clear the crown of the tree. I created it in Blender.

The tree is an XFrog freebie, an english oak. All the trees and shrubs are from XFrog; the grass is from Turbosquid. I created the kayak-- you can find it at Blendswap.com. The motorboat is originally from Blendswap, but I modified it substantively. Some of the rocks are from Sketchfab.


Attached are a few WIP images of the treehouse showing its structure more clearly. I'm quite proud of the staircase.

Nice modeling, for sure. Is that a lift next to the staircase? Very upscale treehouse!

Thanks! Yes, that's a lift. The open staircase to the front door is three flights, so I felt I had to offer an easier alternative.
