Any Comments will be taken into consideration!!!!

I have used sketch up, and this is my first house using sketch up! - What do you think? i will place some pictures from different parts of the house as i get them!

Only one problem with your house, there's probably not enough beds.

Benji
29-08-2007, 12:47 AM
Thought you would like to see this, i wil post more later tommorow!

Benji
29-08-2007, 12:49 AM
There are only enough beds for 12 housemates. Hopefully, that should be enough,


Sorry about ym sketch up skills, there not up to much!

That's really cool. Is there a theme to the house?

Benji
29-08-2007, 12:53 AM
i havnt decided on one, maybe we could come up with one? Im thinking
'Fun Meets Sick'

What do you think?

Thanks! - its so good to have some feedback!

I like it too - it was in my diary room - but it looked too much liek the vestibule.

Jack

Maybe your theme could be "disjointed". The bedrooms are split and two and the patterns on the wall give a broken up feel.

Maybe housemates have to work in two different teams?

Benji
29-08-2007, 01:00 AM
i thought two teams, but i thought people didnt like it - Im liking the disjointed feel - thanks alot! -

12 housemates,
2 Teams,
1 Winner

Woo hoo - im exicited! - lol

I think that disjointed is goign to be my theme. Excellent stuff!

Benji

The blue door is the diary room door in the garden, there is another door that is camoflaugeed into the wooden wall which leads to a bedroom. (next to the fridge)

The smoking area is the purple/blue=ish area in the corner

ohh and where did you make this house the graphics are great

Shaun
29-08-2007, 03:02 AM
Well done benji, these pics are great.

Rory

I love the idea, but I find one problem. How is the garden going to be big enough for tasks?

dupin
29-08-2007, 08:07 AM
It's very cool, but why has everyone started doing "[insert name here]'s Big Brother 9 (work in progress)", I mean, there should be some kind of credit to me, mine was first. :p

Benji
29-08-2007, 01:14 PM
Unfortunately i have lost ALL house pics and the House plan, i am very sorry (but in a good way) that i will have to make a new house.

I made this house on sketch up. Its my first house.

I will take all considerations into account. Things will change!

1) The garden will be much bigger
2) A pool will be installed instead of jacuzzi
3) The diary room will be in the garden, it will be glass/see though
4)1 Large bathroom, 2 extra toilets
5) The main house will be much bigger
6) Bedrooms are undecided yet,

There will be no secondary houses like the HND/HW

The house theme will be Disjointed. As decided by Jack

And thankyou duplin for letting me use your title .... :blush2:

I shall post the new improved new house later on today, once it has been made.

Here is my house plan from above, i will post pictures as i get them

Benji
29-08-2007, 05:04 PM
The kitchen Is similar to the first house

Benji
29-08-2007, 05:06 PM
This si the dinning Table

Benji
29-08-2007, 05:08 PM
I think i may change the chequered walls/floors as it hurts the eye!

dupin
29-08-2007, 05:08 PM
It's good, but I think it'd be better if you spent more time on it, to fill in some detail etc.

29-08-2007, 05:09 PM
I love it well done ! :thumbs:

Benji
29-08-2007, 05:10 PM
i dont know how to, thats the problem

Benji
29-08-2007, 05:16 PM
This is the lounge that has a window that looks out to the garden, It also has a plasma which is the black rectangle

Benji
29-08-2007, 05:18 PM
I dont know how to Do fine detail on sketch up, - i dont really kno how to do anything on there - lol

This is really good well done mate ! But where's the diary room ? :shocked:

Benji
29-08-2007, 05:29 PM
I will post it next, i thought instead of having a chair, (becuase chairs i found a very hard to do on sketch up) i thought it would be different if you had a sofa instead. I will post 2 pictures of the diary room, one form the inside and one from the outside.

Benji
29-08-2007, 05:37 PM
This is the diary room, its a sofa inside of a chair

Benji
29-08-2007, 05:39 PM
Inside

Benji
29-08-2007, 05:40 PM
hope you like it!

Captain.Remy
29-08-2007, 05:44 PM
Lovin it so far ! :spin:

Benji
29-08-2007, 05:48 PM
i will add some more pictures soon, But, I think i may start a new Big Brother House either tonight or Tommorow,

I think this house is far to similar ot the BB7/BB8 house - i think a different house is needed.

I will re-think my house ideas and i will post the remaining pictures of this house.

MR.K!
29-08-2007, 05:49 PM
i love your house..... its confusing disorientating (or however you spell it)... i think it is brilliant... :bigsmile:

dupin
29-08-2007, 05:49 PM
The diary room wall shouldn't be made of glass, heh..

Benji
29-08-2007, 05:52 PM
The pool

Benji
29-08-2007, 05:57 PM
Just a room with a sofa where different things can happen

Benji

Why not...Its different, And if there are any secret D.R. Meetings/Production team want ot leave something in the diaryroom they will just close the Windows and Doors in the house

Give me 5 good reasons why it shoudnt be glass - lol

Benji
29-08-2007, 06:08 PM
No the theme is Disorientated/Disjointed

CassetteFinger
29-08-2007, 06:12 PM
Ahhhhhhh ok but its similar to chess yes.

Captain.Remy
29-08-2007, 06:13 PM
I love it, really awesome ! I will try to make one with the houseplan I posted but I don't know how to use Sketchup. :bored:

Benji
29-08-2007, 06:15 PM
I really dont know how to use sketch up either! - lol -


Thanks for all the advice and i am going to make a new house tommorow i think, I think the theme may be "Pure and Simple" - But i may change!

CassetteFinger
29-08-2007, 06:22 PM
How long does it take you to make these things ???

Benji
29-08-2007, 06:48 PM
