Keep it bro!! stay focus

Thanks - i'll keep working at it, this is good practice on 3d modeling for me too after all.

hehe.. nice little houses, makes me once again wish that I could work in 3D

It's actually the same house, just rendered from different perspectives and the 2 renders stitched together in 1 image file.

It does take some time getting used to 3d Modeling, but learning how to work with the program(s) isn't as hard as it might seem. Personally i learned the basics from a 10,5 hour long video training tutorial from DigitalTutors.
It only took me the better part of a week to get through it all and follow along with all the lessons.
I'm still very much a newbie at it as well - i try to make as much time as possible to watch tutorials and making sure to also work along with them, you learn the most by doing things yourself; instead of just being shown how to do them.
That said, it does take time and dedication - it's probably pretty hard to stick with it if it's not something you enjoy doing .

Anyway, on to the main show - the Finished Model :

I added in a bunch of textures, swapped out the front window for a round one, and created a square window at the back of the house. (like i said before, i can make countless variations using all these individual pieces.)
Here's an image showcasing the house, rendered from 3 different angles :



I decided to share it here under the CC-A-NC-SA License.
So if anyone here wishes to use it for their (non-commercial) works, go right ahead. If you wish to use it for commercial purposes though - contact me first.

And here is a video showing off a 360 degrees rotation around the house (though i used a lower quality renderer for this, otherwise it would have taken ages to render out. )
