I know how you feel. I do &#8211; I promise. Blender, for example, can be awfully frightening when you first power it up. Way too many controls. Sweet Home 3D (introduced to me by one of my friends here) is such a better starting point.<\/p>\n<p>So go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sweethome3d.com\/\">http:\/\/www.sweethome3d.com\/ <\/a>and download and install Sweet Home 3D. There is a free version.<\/p>\n<p>OK. So in my last two posts you saw me create a very simple structure that I intend to use for my next picture. Here it is:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/greole.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/withroof.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-324\" src=\"https:\/\/greole.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/withroof.jpg\" alt=\"withroof\" width=\"953\" height=\"508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greole.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/withroof.jpg 953w, https:\/\/greole.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/withroof-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greole.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/withroof-768x409.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 953px) 100vw, 953px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/greole.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/inside5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-321\" src=\"https:\/\/greole.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/inside5.jpg\" alt=\"inside5\" width=\"800\" height=\"669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greole.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/inside5.jpg 800w, https:\/\/greole.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/inside5-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greole.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/inside5-768x642.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Except for adding my own custom made textures, this entire structure was made using four basic instructions. So I have made four short videos that details each of these.<\/p>\n<p>The first is how to create simple walls. That is all it will show you.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jTWfrW7poTE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The next video is about modifying those walls. I made my walls taller and thicker than the default settings. To make the roof and the &#8220;architectural features&#8221; I used the slope functionality.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e18RGIbTm9A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Now you will want to add doors and windows. I not only add these things but also modify them. So here is the next one.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T9ZlN9zC3Ug?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Finally we want to add colour and textures to our buildings. So this video will show you that.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yA3wCxw2iiU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>To reiterate, these are the very basics. You can build very complex models out of just knowing these actions. But like so many complex things, the actions themselves are not difficult.<\/p>\n<p>If you have never tried 3D before and you want to follow these, then I would absolutely love to see what you come up with.<\/p>\n<p>I promise that I will get onto doing the displacement mapping soon, but I just wanted to get this done as I felt that it might be helpful to some people.<\/p>\n<p>regards<\/p>\n<p>Greg<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post is intended for people who want to try to make something in a 3D computer package but feel that it&#8217;s all a bit overwhelming.
