Stroke 132 - Farnsworth House (# 2)



The modulation of the house is not difficult, but requires respect for the work.

The first step was to look for the drawings required in the network, which came to show more complicated than it seemed, since there are so many designs less correct to avoid...


After all I found them in the Library of Congress (http://www.loc.gov), thanks to the meticulous survey work of Jenna Cellini, Elizabeth Milnarik and Brad Roeder for the Historic American Buildings Survey in 2009.


With so much information, it was easy to pass directly from the drawings for the 3D base model, including all actually existing fixed equipment.




As usual on the blog, modulation is simplified to the minimum, since the details are then in charge of photographic textures.



In the video with the base model is clearly visible that the great work was all of the drawings, I just cut it out and mounted...


Then it was investing some time to search or create the necessary textures.

Whenever is possible, I’ve created the textures from photos of the house, as for wood paneling, kitchen furniture, sink or bathtub.




For travertine flooring there are many textures available on the net, it was just choose well, resize to the correct ratio and adjust the tint. For the wall panels, of the same stone, the work was identical.



The metal and window frames have been simplified to the minimum in modeling, so the texture had to do a complex task.

And for complex problems, simple solutions: I’ve created a very simple texture that allowed treat all steel house.



Less (texture) is more (results) ...



(next stroke I will speak about the furniture)
