We're movin' on up to the big time! (cute 'lil girl too, btw).

sorry..was off getting specs and permits..;)

hops in am I late?

oooh,this looks interesting :D

Finally, a roof above me! Willy

Well, Doc's got all that lumber he's gotta find a use for :-)

can you or buy one and can i have myne by the lake please

This could prove to be interesting.....
I build houses IRL 5 days a week...
Now I can build POSER houses on the weekends!!!

now that's dedication..or something..;)

beginning to wonder if something is wrong. Geep hasn't posted anything in this thread since he started it 2 days ago.

Hi cherokee69,

Thank you for your concern ... but nothing is wrong. ;=]
I have been quite busy with other (non-Poser) things.

This (house tut) is a very large and complex project and I have not decided how to "split it up" yet.

Also, I need to add a couple of more pages to the "Magic Pyramid" tut which will be used for making the roof of the house.

Doc has a question for all those interested in this tut:

**Do you want to:
A. Build a simple house first to learn the technique ...

• or -
  B. Go for the Gold and do the complex model shown on Page 1?** (above)

cheers,
dr geep
;=]

Cool geep, glad to hear you are OK. Hum, let's see..maybe for most people a simple one to start out with and then a more complex house. Of course, you know me, I'll just jump in with both feet. Your tut's are so good that anyone can follow them no matter how complex they are.

I second the motion..... Let's start with the basics. Tar-paper shack first....Taj Mahal next. ;)

Make that a "third"... simple first, then complex!!

And thanks (once again) for this "labor of love" you do for all of us.... MUCH APPRECIATED!! - Ray

.i'm in !

I'm here. Great idea for tutorial (again)! Thank you.

Oh, and I would rush into building the big house first. Then in the middle of it realizing I can't handle it and giving up the whole thing. So, wise from experience, I'd go for the little house first. :o)

How about 'C' - 1 finished wall at a time? How hard can that be?

Hmmm, "C" ... I hadn't thought of that one. I think that might work. The best of both worlds, so to speak. ;=]

I think a fairly simple ranch or bungalow style would be a good start, but it should be interesting... you know how the salt-box houses have gables? Or maybe like the traditional New England church seen on all the Christmas cards (basically a rectangle with porch and something pointy on the roof) A quirk would mean that whatever we build would be useful, even if it was simple. THEN we go for the faux tudor mansion. :) Carolly

If you are making only one tut on this than I say make it complex. If you are willing to make two, than start with basic and than complex. teehee Thank you so much for all of your tutorials. I love them. You make everything so much easier to understand and have made my experience with Poser so much more enjoyable than it would have been without your help. I just want to say THANKS! and I will be reading along whether you choose to do basic or complex. ;-) :-D

Hey AntoniaTiger,

That's lookin' good!
BTW - Do you have UVMapper?
It's almost a must for texturing stuff. ;=]

We will be covering (pun intended) the walls later in this tut.

Ah yes, it's always the details, isn't it.

That's where the "devil" is, n'est pas? ;=]

cheers,
dr geep
;=]

Yep, I have UVMapper. I was doing some more fiddling with Anim8tor to make a wall section with a doorway. I'll not clutter this with pictures, but I guess I should use UVMapper to remove any distorion from non-square facets. Anyway, what size is a standard doorway (this house is a bit too old to have a standard anything...).

Standard door sizes ??? .......... Yes! ;=]

There are 2 standard sizes used in the USA for exterior doors.

They are:

1. 2'8" x 7'0" (32" wide)
2. 3'0" x 7'0" (36" wide)

cheers,
dr geep
;=]

Glue Time??? Ya mean you're not going to show us how to model tiny little nails? :)

I told him that I didn't have any. I don't drink. Maybe some lemonade would do...haha Your modular deck is great and brilliant. Going to have alot of fun with it. The garage is all set. Hmmm, now I will need a swimming pool too! LOL

Hi Tereesa,

HEY !!! ........ Nice job on the deck and a super looking render.
Thanks for sharing what you have done with us. ;=]

Enjoy your lemonade and then ...

... Let's get back to work!

cheers,
dr geep
;=]

I should know.... I own it. Geep is doing a fantastic job from photos & measurements. We're lucky he's willing to share his incredibe talents with us. Thanks Geep!!

Could somebody please give a pointer to the details of the Doc's Magic Box. I've figured out how it works, but I'm still seeing odd things happen with the y-translation.

re: " ... seeing odd things happen with the y-translation ..."

Such as ?

;=] Um, ........... did you adjust the "origin?" .... ??????? ;=]
