CGAN Oct24 - The House - WIPs

Haunted house on a little hill with a little fence and a little path.

 

I successfully made the windows light up in a spooky way but I couldn't get any volumetric light beaming out of them. Don't know why. Maybe I should use separate spotlights instead of one point source.
Another problem for later.

Now I'd better start messing with textures.

Still struggling to get the volumetric light working right. I got some shafts of light coming out of the windows but you can't see the house in that gloom. 

 

But enough of that. I said it's a problem for later. I should listen to myself.
It's all just another excuse to delay the texturing.

I have set out and assigned the materials and I did try a vertex painting test and that's definitely not going to work cos I don't have enough vertices. So I should just do the texturing, shouldn't I?
Yes.
I should.
Soon.

I should probably get going on mine...

Edit: I have now made a dining chair. Not textured.  

kind of wip 2 I guess....  
 

Just some 10 more rooms, texturing, dolls, bric-a-brac and learning to render to go.  
And maybe some mood...  

I tried applying some colour this time, but the final choices haven't been done... At least not for the countertops. I don't want brown (at least not if the cabinets remain reddish)  and I don't want grey so for now I went with a bluish tone but it looks rather weird, even for a doll house I guess. 
Also I had forgotten to plan for a fridge so the kitchen is not yet complete (I also want to add shelves and a small table and one of those stool ladders). There's no way I will finish this on time. To finish on time I need to finish more than one room a day and so far THIS room has taken me 3 days.  

 
wip 3

Edit: Oh, and I've forgotten that I intended for the cabinets to be two colours rather than one - like most cabinets are these days. But maybe doll cabinets aren't...  

Looks very stylish. Keep going.

I still haven't done any texturing. Not successfully anyway.
But I have tried to make some overgrown grass for the surrounding area...

 

 

 

And Cycles is now starting to get a little too grainy with those dreaded speckled "fireflies".
Maybe they'll go away with more samples during the proper render.

Wip 3.5  
Changed colours, added shelves (though not sure about the shape of those consoles... I just felt I had to move on) and made a fridge. Also scrapped table and stool as they'd barely fit anyway. 

 

It begins.

 

You've got a little man already?

I'd like to put a figure in mine at the end but I'm not sure if I'll be able to get it to work in time.
But I have done a bit of basic texturing and added some trees...

 

 

 

I also might try and do a render in Blender 4.2 to see what the Eevee raytracer looks like with the volumetrics.
