So school ends in 2 days for me, and my final project for my CAD class is due then and here's what i have been working on for the past quarter(8 weeks) and i was wondering if you guys had any suggestions/comments on it.. Ignore the floating deck, i already fixed it, i just was too lazy and didnt have the time to re-render my project.. (A high quality render with this many materials can take over 24 hours…)

R u joking? This is amazing! Very nice work.

Lol thanks. I want to become an architect. :)

Wow man!
That is really impressive!
Great work:)
It looks awsome man:D

Sweet. :) I wish some of the materials weren't so fake looking but there's nothing i can really do about that unfortunately..

very good but the shadowing spreads a little to far

Yes, unfortunately there is nothing i can do about that.. But i was thinking did anyone have any suggestions on the house itself? not just the quality of the picture. :p you can comment on that too though. :)

This is amazing good job!

Thanks Hermpie. Quick guys, i got 2 days to change anything..

Holy crud, thats amazing, good luck in your future of architecture, I presume you'll get to that stage :)

Lol thanks lulz0rz

CAD was never my style, I am more into programming, but good luck on your future and it looks very nice and promising :)

Yeah, I'd say amazing covers that quite nicely. Very impressive.

Nicely done, and also nice shades and love the door! 10/10

Edit: I noticed the balcon but I cant see a way off the house :D explain :P

Looks excellent but you add some paintings/clock in the red wall inside ^^

Prepare to get an A because that is some mighty fine work you've done. Way better than I could've done in a year.

Only two things I saw, the lack of a way off the balcony, and the lighting on the door looks a little TO bright, imo.

All I can say is I wish I lived there. Looks awesome to me!

The huge window "wall" looks pretty wicked and i wish that is something i could do.

Yeah, everything is fixed with the deck, there is stairs and balusters so it isnt floating in my current version, i just havent gotten around to rendering it. Thanks for the nice comments guys!

i like it though dont you think there are too many windows,(just giving advice since your thinking to be a architect) too much windows with no curtains can cause: sun rays*which will Make bills cost more* and people could see through :)

but neat work, nice high ceiling..

Nice house :D!

This is unbelievable. Just a few stuff outta proposition and shadowing off a tiny bit but gotta look at it to be able to see. id say 9 1/2 outta 10

I don't think there should be a shadow against the red wall on the upper floor from the staircase, but other than that it looks good. Good job :p

what program did you use to make this awesome picture? and wow 24 hour rendering time? max i could imagine is like 2-3 o.O
yeah lighting is a bit off like every one said. but over all you deffenitly know how to make great 3d stuff!

Do you guys understand that i actually designed this house and it isnt just a rendering that i made in like 3D Studio Max or something? To red eyes: Chief Architect 10. I posted this in the hope that people could give me advice on the design aspect, not the rendering aspect of this house.. Thanks for your advice P1NKY, although i am confused on why you think more sun rays would lead to an increase in bills?? That doesnt make any sense to me.. That would increase natural lighting, therefore decreasing electrical bills. And all it is looking in to is a "living room" type area, where you could chill out and read a book or something..

is the chimney suopsed to have a chunk cut out?

can you biuld me it =]

and i think hermpie means that with out curtains heat can gt out so not good insulation so higher heating bils possibly?

i also noticed the shadow

and the ledge under the window it should be more flat it liks this atm \ it shoul be more like >

Lol, no, i fixed the chimney. And that doesn't make any sense whatsoever unless you manage to not close the window.. Which those windows dont even open on the second floor as they are all for decoration and are single paned glass.. And i'll get right on building it for you. :)

Very nice.

I'm gonna try to give some constructive criticism, pretty tough :p

Space.
The windows take up a lot of space. They look great from the outside, but maybe you could work a third floor into the design? Maybe a couple rooms around the sides, then open space directly over the dining room as to keep the open feel.

Energy.
Free energy! Add an entire glass panel to an unused piece of the roof (very peak?), and put a tank of water under it. You can then circulate the water through the house for heat or use it for hot water. Also note that windows transfer heat easily. Especially big ones. Solar power would help offset this problem, and would give your house a 'green' edge.


What can you export the model as? If you can export it as FBX, or other 'open' format, you should export, then render in Maya PLE or equivalent. Or ask someone with a better version to render it for you. It'd look better, and it's a lot quicker. (I could render that in five minutes to half an hour with mental ray, depending on the quality)

EDIT: Funny how many people are evaluating it graphically :)

i like it exelent 10/10 for effort

try maybe make the sky like red a lil asif if the sun is drawing in @ the eveing??

jus a suggestion

.

Smartzkid = God. The only person in this entire thread(sorry if im wrong i dont want to look through all the posts) who actually analyzed the design of the house..

Scraper: I used Chief Architect to design this house, i would like to become an architect, not a GFX major or anything like that.. The rendering is just to show you what the outside of the house looks like..

Sharcoth: what are you talking about with bump maps? Once again, probably something with animation or Photoshop, cause i've done some animation stuff and i remember maps of materials.. And frankly, i look at my house from the outside at night, and there isnt any light shining on it, but once again, i cant edit that in this program, i can however tone down the lights in the house..

wait what…

that will cause Heat so more AC?

thats why in texas quite a bit of restaurants/houses/stores got alot of blinds/curtains cause it causes more AC so more spending on BILLS$$$ :)
hope you got me here

Ahh, lol, i thought you meant the other way around.. I gotcha. ;) Oh, and i dont think i mentioned this in the first post, but this is supposed to be built in the mountains, like in Colorado or Utah..

oh i see , be really nice in colorado(colorado springs) been there and LOVE it! lol

Yeah, im gonna build this house for myself when i get older. :) Right on Park City mountain. :)

.

Very nice :)

The shadow is intense but still nice

Thank you everyone who posted on this thread! I got an A+ on the project and ended up getting a 105.5% in the class. :)

it looks good
id like to see the finished product
damn that was a lot of windows though

Well, I'm no architect, but from a personal view, I like the large windows, but dislike the openness.

I bet you have a lot of ceiling on the inside with nothing on it? Maybe add a window panel in the ceiling, or insert some ceiling lights. OR THOSE HANGING LIGHTS!


Maybe something like that shape, but not that design, exactly.

That is pretty awesome, I agree about maybe making some small changes to the shadowing but other than that its excellent.

Grave dig?

If you are serious about becoming an architect, I suggest that you Get some Autodesk Software. Get a Copy or Architectural Desktop, as it is mainly used for 3D Modeling. It is great because it includes a professional rendering program with it.


I am not posting this because I work for Autodesk, or because it is my favorite 3D Design software company (which it is). I am posting this because all the architects that I know (About 20 from 8 Different Firms) all use Autodesk Software.

omfg thats umbelivably good, but maybe for some extra details maybe a few plants etc in the front garden maybe?

nice job I like it

urgh gravedig means its old which mean dont post as in this thread needs closing

DO NOT POST HERE

That's a very interesting design, I like the large window especially. Personally I wouldn't leave so much empty space up top, but to each his own!

edit: Whoops, my bad, didn't know this was an old thread.

I like the big glass window…Id live there:)
Edit:sorry for gravedig
