Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

I apologise for not commenting on this sooner, I haven't been on Sm much lately, but I have been watching it progress though and am really liking it!
I agree with what jspogg has just posted, a little randomness on the brickwork would add a dash of realism and pull it all together even more. Maybe even do that on the roof tiles also, just brighten one tile here a fraction, darken another tile there a tad etc. To break up the colouring a little.
But all in all liking how it's going so far and will keep popping in to see how it's coming along!
Hope you are well apart from that, and enjoying the cooler weather you're having now, I'll bet it does feel nice!
We in the UK are starting to have slightly brighter and fractionally warmer weather, so after the sub zero temperatures we have had of late, loving it!

Jsprogg, I am working on the yellow bricks now, and adding a little bump to the white walls as Dave suggested. The yellow brick and using different textures, or pictures of yellow brick, on each and staggering them is a good idea. I have the UVs laid out in a manner that would be not too bad. I didn't like the polished look that they had before. I will keep working at them.
Gav, it has been awhile and hope you are doing well. I know the last time we chatted your life was crazy! Hope you are doing good on not smoking! The weather here is rain once or twice a week and then mild and nice the rest. The Spring and Fall are why we live here. I am glad your weather is becoming better, I am sure it is nicer when you are out and about! I will look into randomizing the the texture on the roof tiles also. Thanks Gav for very nice comments on my work!

Wanted to post an update to my project. Sorry it has been so long. Have been trying a lot of stuff on the yellow brick on the bottom. The "I wonder if?", and "What if?" kind of stuff trying to get what I was hoping for. Not that what I have is good, but thought in my last update it was a little busy. Still need to finish the bricks, or blocks, at the top of the stairs. I also have the last panel in the entry done.
I do hope, once again, that you have had a good weekend!! And it is almost Spring!! I raise my glass, and toast to your good week!!

Dave, I had the same thought about the cobble stones or slabs. I kind of want to stay away from using bricks in the courtyard as there are enough of those already in the scene. I will work on it!! I have appreciated your help in this Dave!!
I wish for you a day, or evening, filled with smiles!! Now to finish my coffee and smoke!!

Jsprogg, I have not worked on the repetition you mentioned yet. But will before the final.
I have enjoyed this so very much. Had never worked with displacement, and creating my own, like this. And it has taught me a lot!
Thanks, especially to Dave, to everyone that has offered their opinion. It has helped. I certainly wasn't going to do all of this, but glad that I did now!
Good day, or evening, to all!!
