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...
:-)

Oh, sorry. Beautiful work, by the way. I love old barns! I'll be very
interested to see this when it's done. Hopefully, your projects don't take
several months like mine seem to...
