I'm going to have a go at this model as long as no -one else is already on it - If there are any sketches or reference out there could someone point me in the right direction?

Bumpy Man's House Design Thread

Thanks Martin, so it looks like youve got Fabrice doing that one. I'll have to ask HomeSlice to update the list. Perhaps I could do something else, but that house looked FUN.

Fabrice is MIA so you could probably still do it. Don't forget to put in bevels/fillets on the corners.

Go for it Chris. You are assigned to Bumpy Man's House. We haven't heard from Fabrice in quite awhile.

Chris,
Since you said you are doing the FACE for Pon, have you decided not to work on Bumpy Man's house? Or would you like to work on this model as well?

Edit: OK, Chris is still working on Bumpy Man's house.

Don't worry about the FACE on Pon.

Ramblings:----


Sorry for lack of progress on this thread. Ive been in Spain for a week, then had to pop off unexpectedly down to Brighton on family buisness-
At the moment, I've made a quick proxy based on the J Christenen pictures - I also spent some time looking at Gaudi architecture in Barcelona. I had seen him mentionioned in another thread, and I wondered weather his organic style could lend something to the cottage -Click to view attachment

Anyway at the moment I'm just playing with ideas - I textured a small model, to see if there was enough detail in the mesh before doing a bit more.Click to view attachmentClick to view attachment

I'me around the UK a lot over the next three weeks, so I will work when I can.
Chris

looks terrific

Great start. That's going to be a beautiful house. Make sure you check the scale against Bumpy Man's size. I'm not sure of his exact scale, but it seems he was a non-standard size.

JUst a quick updateClick to view attachment

again I say - looks terrific - even more terrificer than before

That's looking great Chris.
Please upload any updates to svn as well.
We want to make sure we always have a backup of your latest work.
Also, we gauge the progress/needs of the overall project by looking at what has actually been uploaded to svn.
Thanks!

Nice work Chris. Keep that model safe on svn. And also, make sure the door/rooms are wide enough for bumpy man to move in.

Another quick update just playing around with shapes and textures.I have most of the model parts on svn now, as well as an assemble action for a proxy house and detail house. I wont add any textures yet.
I will ensure the doors are ok with bumpyman.
Chris

Chris,

I think your modeling style is terriffic! Looking at your "Bumpy Man's House" is making me re-think the Castle.

Coming on great Chris! Keep it up.

Another small update

Looking great Chris.

Looks great Chris. I like the round roof texture.

ok, ok. I have to say it tooo - looks great - especially like the windows, gargoyles, details

Chris,

As all have said but I wanted to chime in too...

That house looks awesome!!!!

George

Martin,et al.
I am unable to upload to svn or work on Bumpy's house , probably for the next week. I'ts not that I don't want to , but I have no pc with AM on it at the moment due to a serious Motherboard problem. Anything not on svn is backed up here, and I will be back on it as soon as the pc is up and running. I just dont want to have the status changed if it can be avoided

I would also like to have a go at tweening once I have finished the house.


Alll the best,
Chris

Thanks for the update Chris. We'll hold Bumpy Man's house for you. Good luck with the PC surgery!

Turned out to be pc burial

Still back on and am installed. Downloading svn as I type.
Chris

Left svn downloading afresh and when I opened it this morning I found I had TWO!
WTheck did I do wrong this time?

Here's the instructions again:

Most likely you put in the two url. The following is the one for SO....

http://project.hash.com/movie/so/active/data

Thanks Ken - thats exactly what I did - after I first ran out of disk space, downloading the files again took most of the weekend!

Can you advise me on the changes / extras youve added since I've been awol?

Cheers m8

Not really. I don't know when you went awol and lots of people add stuff to svn. I don't think there's a list anywhere. Total svn size is about 1.3 gb.

Why don't you just copy your SO folder tree from your old hard drive to your new one? If you copy all the svn files/folders as well as the other stuff, you should have to re-download the whole data tree again. .... or did your old hard drive fail?

No the drives still good, but I dont have a pc/cables that I can slave or attatch the drives to. I have another pc arriving soon, but I had to "downtech" so I can carry on this modelling. Course I had to slam in some extra ram, but Its still workable. Cept I can no longer run CS3 because it needs 2 gigs of ram

Ken I was refering to the ground/trees interior. I havnt made the scale adjustments to the exterior yet, plus I dont know what you had planned

Oh, you know about that stuff? Yeah, I just put a path in there. Feel free to modify it so it fits the house. I've only used it for proxy layout work. The interior is just a box with a hole in it.....and an action to put in furniture. Again, you can change that within reason. Don't change any names.
