For a couple of months I have been busy restoring a house model,
originally by De Espona and made available in the Taschen Collection of
3D-Objects. The original is a low-poly model version of the real thing
(see first image); I am now almost finished with the high-poly model
reconstruction from that on (see second image).
I improved on details, left some out and introduced new ones, and in a
number of cases used different image_maps. Of course, I also used
POV-Ray textures. Over all, I intended the house to look more like a
real one and not like the toy model the original looked like somehow.

Nice restoration work! I should employ you for my own real house! ;-)
The texture of the fence outside the house and on the balcony looks a bit
unnatural to me, especially on the bridge.
Please show us some other views. :-)
Next you have to model all the inside furniture! ;-)

Thanks indeed but I prefer to stay with modelling ;-)
Not all textures are done, the fences and banisters in particular are
only pigments. The interior? Oh no! That would mean a totally different
project. No plans for that at the moment.

That is really good. I like the weathering/dirt on the stonework and
Wattle and daub. If that is what it was made of.

The original stone image_map was not good enough, so I selected a
different one. For the arcs and the steps I used a different stone texture.
I am rather pleased with the wattle and daub too. It is a
pigment_pattern based texture (in POV-Ray of course).

I did not notice that it was repetitive until just now. It slipped past me.

You got it right. :-)

i like the texture on the tower tops ... looks like weathered copper
maybe that texture would look good on the other roof ornaments too

Really beautiful; it could not have been easy to do.
I would suggest some more weathering, specifically underneath all of the
horizontal wood beams of the house. Something like rainwater dirt, that would
drip down the walls over many years. Overlayed alpha-channel image map(s),
perhaps? Although, the effect might be done more easily with procedural pigments
of some kind, with turbulence.

Thank you. You have extended the project for a couple of months more :-)
This is an interesting suggestion I need to study a bit longer, but it
will certainly have a follow up.

Thank you, yes, I thought the tower tops needed a weathered copper top
and I found this image_map somewhere on the net. The original top was
just a dull greenish.
By the way, if you google "Gutenbach house" you will find images of the
model as built by De Espona in high poly version. I used those images
for my own reconstruction, based on the low poly version I owned.
Surprisingly, they show some sloppy uv-mapping I would not have expected
from a professional.
