Thanks Gerald, very nice!

Thank you.

Looks amazing! Thanks very much. :)

It never ceases to amaze me how you get so much from such a small file size.

Thanks for sharing your work... much appreciated! - Ray

Your meshes are truly amazing Gerald. Thanks for this one! Every time I've made what I consider a small mes, you prove that it's possible to make it even smaller and STILL look good!

Yes, very nice. But that grey look you recommend is a bit of a misconception. The interior walls on the old cottages I've seen, museum-type or just old sheds that haven't had anything done for years, are often white, or have pretty light colours. Yes, the lime-wash or whatever can flake off the plaster, which does tend to be greyish, but what you see is dim lighting, not grey materials. I have a VCD somewhere which has some pictures my brother took of a museum-cottage in Norfolk...

But that grey look you recommend is a bit of a misconception... Some are rather grey too.. years of smokey fires tend to have an effect.. also, I wanted to create the impression of a dark interior.. little windows.. in low light conditions colours tend to weaken and we see more in grey scale.. or is that just me! Thanks for your comments, regards to all, Gerald.

Everyone seeing less colour in poor light. I'd be inclined to get that look in postwork -- make a mask based on brightness, and then take the colour out of the darker areas of the scene. What I've seen, smoke from the fire, once chimneys were invented, is a pretty localised sort of effect. Candle smoke is more significant generally. You do get traces around the hearth. Maybe use one of the gradient shaders in P5. I do recall the family using paraffin lamps during the miners' strike of the Seventies, but I've no clear recollection of what a lit lamp looked like.

Thanks!
