I like the look of PICK a lot and thought about doing things that way. But sliding the individual sections around seems tedious, although semidieu did make some sort of room editor for it, as well as some utilities for changing color on all parts at once.

But if you want to build an entire house or hotel, you need to be able to control the color or texture of all the wall pieces in a given room, while doing it differently for other rooms. PICK doesn't give you an easy way to do that.

Also, I would like to have more options for things - many different door and window styles, and different sorts of frames around the doors, windows, and of course the baseboards. I also want to do more detail. For example, it always bothers me when I see a CG room and there are no outlets or switches on the walls. And light fixtures. Basically, everything you find in an ordinary interior should be possible to sprinkle around. And for any fixed lighting, the lights should come included. For example, in that hotel hallway I posted above, there are 13 light fixtures, and you need 13 point lights to go with them. I did those by hand in that render, but my plan is to include lighting in the model.

Once I get all the standard wall/window/door parts squared away, then I want to do shelves, cabinets, stairs, and possibly some appliances, sinks, and faucets. Whatever you find in a house when you buy it should be in the kit. Then you furnish it with loose pieces that are not attached to walls. That's the plan, anyway.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
