A new spec house. Dressed it up a bit.

I am putting "Easter eggs" in my renderings. A zoom in of the family room picture above. Got to have a little fun! I may have been a little loaded when someone took that picture.

WOW!  Your renderings are fantastic.

 

I always have problems having things neatly tie together. Often roof overhangs or soffits like to charge through a room

 

You do a really great job

Thanks Steve!

Good Work...good detail.  Way to make it look alive.

Nice work Martin ... Since we typically do one off custom homes for individual clients, we can't justify spending that much time on each job, so I never get to go mad. Maybe one day I'll model my own home and try and get all the furniture and everything modelled ... Nice idea, but I bet it never happens!

 

Once again. Very nice work on the renderings.

Here's a recent one we've put together.  I had to hire my daughter in law to help with the 3D work.  I'm way too busy to keep up with it and she has a better eye for the furniture, colors, etc.

Hi Martin, how do you create the skylight tunnel?

[Martin Livingston]

I created a wall with just drywall. It is actually offset to the rough floor like all the other walls (in this case they were drawn on the upper floor plan) and I rake both the top and bottom fit to the ceiling and the underside of the roof sheathing and aligned with the "hole" in the sloped ceiling. The horizontal ceiling is drawn as a double hip with the first part horizontal and a narrow segment with about a 36/12 slope to reach the top edge of the skylight. I also attach a narrow strip of ceiling with about  a 36/12 slope to the "just drywall" wall at the bottom edge of the skylight to close off that gap. That takes care of the light box opening between the roof trusses. I use a sloped beam between the skylights (which is the way I frame them) with the drywall option selected. The screen capture below is from the drawings for the pictures at the start of this thread. The section drawing is from another project showing the detail cut across similar skylights

And sometimes I am just lazy if they are parallel cord roof trusses and I fill the cavity with insulation and make it the same colour as the drywall.

Thank you Martin, next skylight i do i'll try your approach.  Also, i'm going to create a wall called 'just drywall' right now.  I commonly have 2nd floor open to below and no way to seal off the end joist so it looks proper....now i'll use 'just drywall' wall.

 

thanks again
