I've been doing a house for some time now, slowly attempting a bit of real
life architecture (my parents place). POV-Ray without a modeler is not
much of a CAD program as some of you may know. I've found the CSG method
of building a house model via text only is cumbersome at times but it's
fun.
Well, about it: the time of day goes from about noon to evening with the
appropriate lighting changes, although not realistically since the sun
simply fades and lowers as the artificial lights intensify, all linearly
so not as expected of real life.
Also no AA was used to spare me the longer render time, since this is by
far still a "sketch" as is. In fact, I've considered foregoing the white
brick mortar color due to the chaos it causes when movement occurs, even
at high resolutions with AA, because basically the bricks are tiny things.
I've uploaded this just to show, not really a lot anyone could help with;
unless of course someone does have any ideas about anything (hint hint).
Btw, for the most part everything is about where it should be, I say this
because the right-side windows are all offset from each other and it looks
odd. That is the way it actually is. Other things *are* wrong though, like
the blocky driveway, yard isn't correct yet, and I goofed on a last minute
addition: a small cover for a fountain at far left (when animation
starts). See what else seems out of place, make a game of it. Well, I'm
babbling now I know so "The End".

That's pretty cool, Bob. Did you use a paint program to create the terrain
hf?

Hmm, couldn't save it to my internet animations directory. :(

Yeah, a rather crude attempt at recreating the area about the house. I see
no other way than to adjust it here and there later by adding some light
grey and dark grey where needed by "painting" it in.
Should be able to right-click on the link and do a Save Link as... type of
thing. Although why you would want to is beyond me, it's really not too
good (yet); thanks anyway.

Well, I tried. No joy. Just thought I'd mention it.

I use things like this for inspiration, not redistribution or anything like
it.

Hmm, up over 31megs in that directory. <G>

Hi Bob!

I like it very much. It's hard to model something one knows very well
(like the parents home). The change to night is interesting!

Good work. I would like to see more of it!

All the best,

Marc

I do hope to get it more or less "finished" someday soon (bad word around
here, soon). Thanks for liking it ;)

Curiouser and curiouser as Alice would say. I tested the Save Link as...
method and it d/l okay here through Netscape. Sounds like we have
something in common, I'm a digital pack rat myself. I have images and
animations so useless it's not funny; mostly my own folks, so never fear,
not a comment on others work.

It's been in my temp folder the whole time, I just thought it odd it
wouldn't let me save as...
  I could copy the link and create my own hyperlink for access. That worked.
Just couldn't get it here. Weird.
