Wooden kitchen Hi, Pencilart, one of the main contributors to Sweet Home 3D free models, just finished a whole collection of kitchen furniture that she gently shared with the community. This furniture includes a whole set of very nice wooden cabinets. See how it renders with the advanced rendering plug-in:  Thank you Pencilart!  ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

Re: Wooden kitchen Here's an island for those kitchen furnishings: http://www.storm-artists.net/view/94015/ To be available as soon as Emmanuel can put it up on the site. BTW, for the corner china cabinet I found that by subdividing the decorative trim, it helped with the uber rendering problem. |

Re: Wooden kitchen Hi Pencilart, What are your thoughts on adding a kick-board on the lower units, plus skirts on the upper units (so under cabinet lighting can be added without it being seen)? I wasn't sure if black or wood colour kick-boards looked best, so I did a test using a flattened cube shapes for black kick-boards and wood texture wrapped flattened cube shapes for the upper cabinet skirts. Sorry about the lady in the kitchen, she was just having some pizza and wine while getting ready to go out for the evening, I thought it was polite to let her stay and enjoy her meal so the pizza wouldn't go cold.  Firstly Uber render Apart from the pizza and ladies skirt losing colours, I definitely prefer this version, the sparkly sink looks better than the grey version and ladies sparkly evening clothes look nice and more like fabric.  Then Advanced photo render Colours are correct but everything looks a bit plastic, ladies clothes and skin (notice her shoulders) Not sure why a small part has rendered black on the ladies skirt with this shader?

Here's an island for those kitchen furnishings: http://www.storm-artists.net/view/94015/ Hope you won't mind me asking, if you know that (when the same height is entered on model import) some of the kitchen units are different depths to others? By the way your piece of furniture  always stood out from the rest on the 3D models page, for the amazing build quality and also because the rendered example looks so much nicer than the quick 3D view versions of other 3D models on the page, the rendered versions really help a user understand exactly how the piece of furniture will look in their final rendered scene. Emmanuel, I used your excellent kitchen design for a point of reference while designing mine, hope you won't mind! db4tech Edit: Updated the scene adding a cooker hood light and extra wall tiles. |

Re: Wooden kitchen Waouh! It looks so nice! I wouldn't imagine users would be able to create such images one day with Sweet Home 3D. Thank you for sharing! ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

Re: Wooden kitchen Are you talking about the lady or the kitchen? he he  By the way, I used some of my newly created and updated halogen lights, under the units and on the ceiling (instead of the normal ceiling light) from the updated and soon to be released version 1.2 BasicPlusExtraLights.sh3f. The warmer colour halogen lights always help with kitchen design as it makes the room feel more cosy as well as making food look more appetizing. db4tech |

Re: Wooden kitchen Hi Pencilart, If it is helpful this is how the wood effect kick-boards might look, I also threw in (at no extra £xpense!) white kick-boards. All rendered using Uber So as a compare here is the original black Wood  Lastly, white, which due to the lighting looks dirty ucky grey  Personally I think the black looks the most striking but that could be because of the floor texture I have chosen, interested to hear your thoughts? Maybe a dark marble finish would work too? Speaking of which! Bonus extra: Dark marble kick-boards  I think that works quite well. Further thoughts: How would you feel about supplying the lower units without a worktop then have a range, of say, 5 different ready made worktops that fit (or can be stretched to fit) different marble surfaces, in a range of different colours, that all compliment the wood texture? I do hope you don't mind the different renders or ideas, I only mean well. db4tech |

Re: Wooden kitchen Hope you won't mind me asking, if you know that (when the same height is entered on model import) some of the kitchen units are different depths to others? I have no foggy idea why that happens. I just make the needed adjustments either in the home plan view or to the piece from the "modify furniture" menu. As for the kickboards and skirts, I'll think about it. I'm not sure if everyone would want it. Did you use Blender or something to add them to your scene? They do look very nice. For the upper corner cabinets, I was just thinking that you could simply use the 2 + 1 upper cabinets at right angles: As for "supplying the lower units without a worktop then have a range, of say, 5 different ready made worktops that fit (or can be stretched to fit) different marble surfaces, in a range of different colours, that all compliment the wood texture" I'll leave that up to Emmanuel if he wants me to do that or you can submit the different color counter tops and he can decide from there. Just be sure not to use any texture whose license would disallow its use in open source software. (I just found out about that myself -- just ask Emmanuel about that :D) ----------------------------------------

Re: Wooden kitchen Hi thanks for your reply, No I haven't learned Blender yet, I have decided to wait for version 2.5 or it will be like learning the same program twice. Instead I use Art or Illusion plus other 3D packages.I added the kick-boards and skirts in Sweet Home just using 8 boxes (from the misc furniture list) I then adjusted the boxes to the correct size, texture wrapped them and carefully positioned them within the 3D space. Here is a different view so you can see how the 8 boxes look without the cabinets, 5 to make the skirts, then 3 for the kick-boards (1 box at 45 degrees in the corner to compliment your corner cabinet (added after the original black kick-board render)) I saw no point in making the kick-board just front panels since only the front and side edges would be seen. The skirts had to be separate parts so the lights could be concealed causing downward without spill lighting. For this render I changed the time of year and chose a different time of day, so the sunlight would shine across the kick-boards hopefully helping define their shape and also left the original cooker hood light switch on to add form to the skirts.  Thank you for your compliment about the kick-boards and skirts. By the way, I am always careful to use free (without limitations) textures. In connection with different worktops I think dark marble might look good with the wooden cabinets or how about the same cabinets in Beach? db4tech |

Re: Wooden kitchen How did you do the wall textures with the border? That's cool too! I know! Your kick boards and skirts should be added to the import furniture page so others can choose if they want that or not. Have you submitted them yet? You should! :D |

Re: Wooden kitchen By the way, I am always careful to use free (without limitations) textures. Excuse me to insist, but using and redistributing is different. Many textures and models can be used freely, but very few can be redistributed. For example, I think I recognized the frieze you used on the wall. It comes from LeMog, doesn't it? When I discovered this site, I wrote to his author to get information about what he meant by the "Free Tiled Textures" mention. If his 3737 textures were available under a free license that would allow us to redistribute them, I could have created some SH3T files from them for Sweet Home 3D users. Miserably, he answered me that the textures were free of use and not free for redistribution (to be more precise, he authorized me to redistribute only "bois placage" category and the various "parquet" categories). So if showing non redistributable images like you did isn't a problem, distributing 3D models that use them wouldn't be authorized. As I think I already said in an other thread, this issue is probably the main reason why I didn't create a texture image contribution page yet. On contrary of 3D models, there are so many images around there and editing an image is so easy, that I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to guaranty to users that contributed images would be really original ones, and make contributors understand that images must be created from pictures they took or drew themselves. I hope I didn't bore you with this legal stuff, but that's how real life must go if you want to insure the freedom of free software. ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

Re: Wooden kitchen Thank you, The textures are applied to flattened stretched cubes placed against the wall. As for uploading, there is nothing really to upload as they are all separate boxes. Emmanuel, yes you are correct, that is the site I used for my textures, by the way I didn't find your post boring, on the contrary, it was very interesting! If it is helpful here is an exploded view, the foreground box is the one used to make all the shapes, then textures are applied.  db4tech |

Re: Wooden kitchen Hello everyone, I've looked everywhere and I'm going crazy! :) Where can I find these wonderful kitchen models? |

Re: Wooden kitchen Did you try to the free models page... :-) Try a search for pencilart + kitcen. I think that should provide you with what you need. Except the pizza girl, that is. ok |
