3D Models and ID

It was never an easy task to visualise how the new flat would look like by just looking at the floorplan...

 



First reaction that came into our mind was :
"It's such a tiny flat that cost a bomb!"



A typical layout of the furniture was given by HDB... seemed rather straightforward? But it is still tough to visual on a 2D plan

We decided to create a 3D modelling of our new unit... works began in Feb 2010 when Hwee found a nice little application that does simple 3D modelling and rendering...

After months of going through tons of magazines and websites for ideas... we marked all the nice ideas referencing against what we wanted... bits & pieces we produce this:

Step 1 - Importing our floorplan



Constructing our first wall of the planterbed

More walls...

Done with most of the external walls, left the last piece...



Tada! All the external walls are finally constructed!!!



Next, all internal walls are added



Steps 2 - Create opening for all the windows.
Lots of accuracy required



Doors are also fitted

Steps 3 - Laying of floor tiles, timber strips, wall tiles, etc

Skirtings for living room and bedrooms

Step 4 - Adding in Project Title

To make it more personalise, we add our nick as well... :)



Step 5 - Adding fixtures and furnitures...
this entire process is never-ending as designs
and ideas kept flowing in our head...
we spent 1 month doing up the fixtures
and furnishing... still in progress.

 

Next we will share some close-up working pictures of the entire house, looks cool but it had not been render for a more photo-like pictures yet... just the working view:

Here's a walk through to some of the interiors of the house:

A rough idea of the study room, a few other designs still flowing in our head... this is just for rendering sake so a temporary rough design...

Hwee had always wanted to apply wall stickers to our new house, wall paper seemed outdated nowadays? We wanted a blast-up print of photos that we had taken... it is more personalized, so this idea came and we are still trying out all the different visuals.

Or shall we change it to sepia?
