I must admit that I wasn't fully confident in my house as it was coming along and being honest i'm still not too sure about it now but I feel it has a few good qualities to it. It may not have the look of anything special but I have learned some new skills and have had a good time trying out all these new things.
I did intend on giving my house a rundown feel to aid in the storytelling but when I thought about it everyone would be doing the rundown look, so I pretty much don't have a story to tell through my visuals, it's basically just a one room house. It does, however, have the qualities it should have, if a little bit more.
So this is the inside of the house which I worked on last. I was pretty pleased with the way the desk turned out, it has a nice finish to it if I say so myself. Due to the problems I'm having with compatability Photoshop CS5 doesn't allow the use of Nvidia Tools so I had to substitute for Xnormal, which does the same thing pretty much. However looking at the handles on my drawers either it doesn't work aswell as it could or I have messed up in making it suitable.
In this you can also see the cork notice board, which i'm highly pleased with and also a mirror I thought I'd throw it. I am also pleased with that as not only is it my first attempt at it, it is also successful, as you can see. I consider this a nice shot but time is yet to tell.
This is another shot of the photo above, the only difference being that the lights are back in, as you can tell by the shadow by the table and the top of the fire place. I was quite pleased when I saw the effect it brought.
This is more so towards the fireplace, in which I'm not fairly confident with but am happy with to a certain extent.This also shows off more of the mirror I threw in myself. I love the detail of the bricks in this shot and also love the marble texture in the open fireplace. My window isn't shown off much in this shot however.
This is the overall front view of my house. It doesn't look like much but I am actually fairly pleased with the way it has turned out and the way it actually does look like a normal house. As you can see you don't get the feel that anything has happened here, showing that I chose to remove the story telling aspect. This was due to the fact everyone would have gone for the run down look and it was too late to change to anything else really.
This the the side reverse view of the house showing off the chimney and window. I am pleased with the way it turned out. The difference in colour for bricks wasn't originally planned but then threw in the idea of a renovation project, the chimney being the new part to the house, after I saw how well they worked together.
I figured I needed a better shot of the window to show that it worked, as you can see by the faintly showing desk. I also thought it would be nice to get the bricks in the shot also. I've fallen in love with the use of Normal Maps as they obviously bring a whole new feel to the texture and makes it look more life like. It is an amazing feature in which I am thankful for now knowing.
