I like it, model wise, but the textures can be way more de-saturated. Also, I would go for more brownish bricks instead of red ones...

[w_swietwoot]

you are correct so it's desaturated:



And an ingame picture for the scale (with the old textures):

Exciting new project! The building has a very interesting style

Looks great.

... and the new textures is an improvement.


This reminds me of house along the west cost of Jutland.

Here is a picture from the open air museum north of Copenhagen:

The farm in the middle, use to stand in Eiderstedt in Schleswig-Holstein.

Wouter, this is fantastic! 

This will be a perfect farmhouse for an additional set of farms in my Dutch Farms set. But wait.... first I have to finish the farm fields and the farms set with mrbisonm.
But it's beautiful! The scale looks good to me and the textures are great. Don't make them too brownish: the bricks in Groningen are quite red.

the only issue I see here is the mental ray XD I don't like it as much as regular (BAT?) render engine

apart from that, nicely done

What is that?

And I forgot: Vester, the barn you show looks even more like the back side of the farm houses we have in Friesland. Maybe Wouter is going to make one like that too?

Hi, seems to me you are all very positive. I'm nearly finished, I only want to make the roof texture a bit less repetitive. I still needs lotting though.

Vester, that's very much alike to our sheds. I've looked it up on the wikipedia and it states they originate from the same (pre) medieval northern (viking?) type farms.

Frank, a Frisian farm is something I wanted to do aswell. I thought making this farm would be a walk in the park but it took me longer than expected to make this model. Its not difficult but there are many details and the Frisian farm has even more details...

Gn, I've noticed slight differences wit gmax and the bat4max aswell. But I'm not using the gmax stuff because importing step-files into gmax and getting it to render properly is a pain. The 2-sided option just doesn't work with my files, showing holes everywhere. Oh, I can't be bothered learning to model with gmax, it annoys me so I'm using a different program.

Thinking about it, that area is called Nordfriesland (North Friesland / North Frisia).

You primary see that sort of house in Denmark around Vadehavet / Wadden Sea.

[gn_leugim]

I jsut said that in a amusing sense

but, you may try to see if there is other render engine on the max.

Mental Ray is the render engine of Max, which makes the model look sightly different from those rendered in gMax.

Hi, I've added a Frisian-style farm, commonly found in this province. The name of this type is, when literally translated, a head-neck-torso farm.







I will add 3 sheds of the same type, derrived from these models.  I'll try to finish those this or next week.

[FrankU]

Hi Wouter,

Did I tell you already that the models are fantastic and that the size of them is accurate in combiantion with other commonly used farming props?
I'd say: don't change anything, but add a few barns and sheds.
