Yes, I know, I have to work on the texture. That's not where im best in... :-)
New texture...
looks good
Whoa! This house looks amazing! I hope you either sell it or give it as a freebie because I'd love to get my hands on this awesome house. It came out very cool and looks amazingly close to the real Pshycho house. :D The amount of detail and work you put into it is fantastic!
@nonesuch00 - Thank you! :-)
@3Diva - Stay tuned! If I will give it away, I will post it here ;-) I am glad you like it so much :-) For now there is no usable interior... I am actually thinking about building the inside as well, leaning on "Bates Motel"... Need to find more pictures. :-)
The more I look at it, the more I think I will give it away as freebie in the next couple of weeks, right in time for Halloween. Since I am still working on it, are there any things I can add or would be usefull? Like interior or an extra basement for terrains that aren't even? Just thinking.. :-)
Very cool!
I have seen many things sold elsewhere that really hit that line; however, I simply scroll past and -for myself- don't risk it.
I think you've done an excellent job, btw
@.DarwinsMishap - Thank you! :-)
By the way, I am working on the extra basement. Since I have no idea how houses were built in the victorian era... I know the houses were built of wood and mostly set on a basement, but what were the porches built on? On what foundation were they set? Bricks? Concrete?
Wow, very Halloween feel. Great lighting.
Looking great, the perspective really does make the difference.
Is there an interior, or at least some texture for when "mother" looks out the upper floor window?
@MarcCCTx - For now there are just interior walls for different rooms, so the interior lights don't interfere with each other. The Walls are textured but there are no doors or other interior features. All windows have translucent courtains. The light goes through but you can't look through. Mother's silhouette is visible only if the light in that room is turned on and only when outside it's dark enough ... ;-)
Just added an extra basement prop for uneven terrain... just in case. I'm not happy about the stairs... hmmm... more tweaking is wating... :-)
My brother lived in a house like that in the 80s. It's heating bills would swallow paychecks whole!
Really? Were they insulated so bad? Probably no insulation at all, ha?
Last render for today :-)
THIS! Is fantastic!! WOW... so inviting;-)
No insulation at all would be right except for the wood and plaster.
The foundation would have been either stone or brick.... the interior woodwork that was visible to visitors was usually oak, while other rooms used pine or fir, sometimes faux painted to resemble oak... I restored an 1888 2 story Italianate that was similar.... hope this helps.
@Lothar Weber - Glad you like it. :-)
@nonesuch00 - Wow! How did they lived in there 150 years ago in the winter???
@James47 - Thank you very much! Yes, it helps! :-)
I added a few little details, probably not even noticeable. :-)
that looks awesome
The lighting is given by my moon prop which I created a couple of years ago. There is no other light in the scene, besides of inside the house. :-)
35 years ago in the winter. Just like Psycho the movie didn't occur 150 years ago either. Such houses are still commonly in use, still commonly uninsulated, and often dangerous fire hazards that should be torn down.. Renovating houses to modern required building code is very expensive.
In the 60's I was spending a lot of time at grandma's. I still remember the frozen water bucket on the kitchen stove in winter mornings before starting the fire again - Was not even due to not having insulation, the log house with double glazing is still used almost as it was back then, but the interior temperatures were kept much lower and you just put on more clothing.
@nonesuch00 - I understand those houses are expensive to renovate. But... they are sooooo beautiful! :-)
@PerttiA - Yes, people were not as spoiled with heating as we are now. :-)
I grew up in a house built in 1856; The basement was limestone and mortar with a closet sized room for canning (wooden shelves one one wall) with a wrought iron locking mechanism, a main room where the stairs gave access to the upstairs and a door that led to ground level entry and further up to the main house. There was an antechamber for the boiler system (coal, mind you) with a coal schute along the outer wall for when coal was delivered, and another chamber at the back that only had access by two windows about head-high that was the actual cistern for the building before it was covered up by an additional bedroom built onto the house sometime in the 60's or so. There was another farm house we lived in that was built before this- the property owner stated it was built sometime in 1830 (still had the original, two-seater outhouse in the back and no insulation *at all*) that had limestone rocks and mortar, but was not as refinely built as the other house. When the tornados hit, the walls of the foundation would shake and loose mortar would drift off of the walls to the dirt flooring. That house had two bedrooms upstairs (you had to walk through one, to get to the other), with half-sized doors on either side of the room on the second bedroom walls that were building length closet areas (storage) that when you leaned in you could see the ground outside between the roofing and the wall joists, and a third small door at the far wall that led to the "attic" space that was originally used as the ranch hand's bedroom that had a secret staircase that led to a push-door that was hidden down in the kitchen so the hand wouldn't have to walk through the house or be seen by the family when the work was done.
Wow! That's very interesting! Thank you for this detailled informations. :-)
Anytime! :D That first house, was haunted as well, fyi. XD Not sure about the old farmhouse as I just quit paying attention at that point. lol
Oh! Now it's even more interesting! Tell me the story about the haunted house, please! :-)
They do have to renovate them legally in some locations but not many. I've helped replaster a wall on such an old style house once. It's interior walls are thin slats of wood that were plastered over and I found it very difficult to plaster the walls as nice, flat, and smoothly as who ever did the plastering originally had done. The might out to seriously re-engineer the building materials to overcome the fire hazards and such for building as they have the capabilities but wood is so cheap. They'd last much longer too. In the scheme of things the Psycho house's building materials durability didn't even outlast the life span of the original builders and that's way too typical for too many very expensive buildings. Only vehicles are worse with regards to durability.
Good luck you your projuct.
