I like it. Still learning techniques, but I can pop out a simple house in five minutes, with a complicated roof! I've yet to model my own windows and doors and place them in using the plug-in's automatic sizer. Does anyone else know where to find shaders for exterior walls and roof? R

I'd like to see other examples of art using ArchiTech. I went ahead and built a simple window, popped it in. It was easy. The doors and windows online are very simple. The shaders require other plug-ins : ). Question: I saw a great video ( Anything Grows ) of a bee flying over grass. How would a person make Anything Grows grass move? ...He/she could convert the AG grass to a vertex object and use a plug-in like Potentializer on it, to make it deform as the bee buzzes close. Lots of steps... Take care. I've been off for a while gettin moved in to a new house, and building a desk for the office. I hope to get back into the art now. My wife has me making her a few things for her card making needs. : ) Wow! Real work! R.

I think you can also make grass wave by animating the texture that governs the orientation or the "gravity" setting of the grass. In fact, it occurs to me that you might be able to use Carrara's procedural water textures to get good fluid-like results, which might simulate currents of air nicely. You can find loads of architectural textures all over the Web, by the way. Just Google "architecture 3d textures free" and you'll find loads of good stuff. By the way, your work lends credence to my theory that everything's better when you add a dog to it.

But remember: On the internet... no one knows your architect is a dog... ;)
