At the county library, I found building plans for a c. 1917 dairy barn.
The details of the framing are pretty good, but the rest is lacking
(in the plans), so I'm going to have to do some research in the area.
Luckily, we have hundreds of barns around here.
To get all of the boards different, I had to use #macros for the
repeated elements, and fetch the boards from random locations out in
"wood space," rather than to use objects. Is this the usual method, or
is there a better one?
Also, when I'm ready for it, does anyone have tips on shingles? (The
usual variety here at the time were cedar shakes, which are highly
variable in length and width, so any kind of a regular pattern looks a
bit artificial.)

I only know two (which doesn't mean that there aren't others):
* the one you describe with macros;
* group all parallel boards in a union and texture them at once with a
repeat warp to make the texture change from one board to the next. This
only works in cases where the boards are regularly spaced (like here).
I don't know which would be faster in the present case (the second one
is very good to make things like brick walls or wood floors using only
one object properly textured)

Thanks. That's a nice idea. It should work with all of the regularly
spaced parallel boards I have here, and it might also work well for the
siding. My problem is that I model things as if I'm actually building
them. I even find myself "cutting" ends of boards to make them fit,
when the actual end would disappear into some other object, anyway.

Nice balloon frame. But some details are not complete. Are missing among
other things, beams against the wind effect. And I think that rafters are
too thin, talking into account of the long range between two longitudinal
beams.
Very interesting work

Heres a little macro that should give you a head start. Obviously the
shingle colors are random and you'll want to stick a proper texture in
there. Also I havn't changed the height of each shingles only the width.
#include "colors.inc"
#include "textures.inc"
#include "functions.inc"
#include "shapes.inc"
camera { location <10,0,-40> look_at <10,0,0> }
background { Blue }
light_source { <900, 560, -500> color White }
light_source { <-900, -560, -500> color White }
light_source { <900, 560, 500> color White }
light_source { <-900, -560, 500> color White }
#declare rStream = seed(0);
#macro
RowOfShingles(heightOfShingle,widthOfShingle,depthOfShingle,lengthOfRow)
#declare currentLength = 0;
#declare gapBetweenShingles = 0.1;
union {
#while(currentLength < lengthOfRow)
#declare thisShingleWidth = widthOfShingle +
(rand(rStream)*(widthOfShingle/2));
box {
<currentLength,0,0>,
<currentLength+thisShingleWidth,heightOfShingle,depthOfShingle>
texture {
pigment {
rgb
<rand(rStream),rand(rStream),rand(rStream)>
}
}
}
#declare currentLength = currentLength +
thisShingleWidth + gapBetweenShingles;
#end
}
#end
object {
RowOfShingles(3,2,0.5,40)
}

Being from Wisconsin, I polled the local cows for their opinion. They all
love it! So do I! Can't wait to see future versions!

Much was not complete, you're right. (See new post.) The Dimensions of
the rafters and the longitudinal beams is as the plans specified (2"x6"
rafters), but they do seem a might spindly, as you say.

I'm trying to do shingles for my old school (www.beantoad.com/wips.htm), but
I've had limited success, and I'm currently re-thinking the entire way that
I'm going about doing them.
If you come up with something for cedar shingles, I hope you'll share...
:-)
