Just thought I'd share a work in progress that has nothing to to with
CGSphere for a change.  I've been pecking at it here and there for a couple
months between other POV projects and real life.
Textures are all procedural, lighting is HDRI-based light dome (as
usual...),  model is lovingly hand-crafted completely from delicious CSG
goodness (and lots of trigonometry - Stay in school kids!).

Not sure where I'm heading next with this.  Suggestions are more than
welcome.  I'll probably try to make some flagstones for a pathway.  Perhaps
some grass too.  Not sure if I want to keep it somewhat minimalistic or make
a fuller scene.  I could do both perhaps.

3 apples high, it applys to the house, not it's owner.
I never tough of those roofs as been any king of glossy, but rather completely 
mate, unless just after some rain. Very nice, that's the builder's house.
I red every Stroumphs adventures in the original French version.

I suppose you mean the owner, not the house are 3 apples high.  At least I
always thought it was that way.  I just used it as the thread title to peak
curiosity without completely giving away what it is.

The roof is supposed to look more not exceptionally glossy, but not
completey matte either.  More like rubber I suppose, like the skin of real
mushrooms.

I didn't actually know who's house it was.  Just used a bunch of reference
pictures I could find and used the elements I liked best.  But I guess each
smurf house would be different to some degree...

Thanks!  And thanks for the ref pic, I hadn't seen that one yet.  The
appearance of smurf houses seem to vary drastically from one source to the
next.  Some are simple and comic-like, whereas others are more detailled
and complex.  Perhaps I'll see what other variations I could do, perhaps
colourings too.

Not sure if I want to do smurfs themselves as I am not much of a character
modeller, but we'll see...

If you want to search more, the original Belgian name of Smurfs is 
"Schtroumpfs"

If they realy existed: You could grab one in your hand, with only the head 
sticking out, the feet been flush with the other side, or maybe just tsicking 
out, but barely...

Good point.

Most only differ by the colour of the roof. But some do have some distinctive 
features.
The builder's house have that structure to enable him to bring in large or heavy 
stuff that don't fit trough the front door.
Only one of the original one had flower boxes at his windows. The 
Stroumphette/smurfette also have flower box, but she's a late addition.
The Grand Stroumph have a larger house than the rest to house his laboratory and 
library.
