    Ye olde 1200 baud modem! I still miss those old modem sounds.

    Haha. In the ’90s I had a laptop with a faulty phone jack on the built in 56k modem.  When the number was dialing, I had to whistle into it to get it to connect!

    Are you going to take the Victorian style house any further (materials, etc) or move on?

    Thanks for the comments!  I mainly did it for the CGC house exercise submission in the course by @jlampel , but I had so much fun modeling it and learning new things, that I decided to build the frame and interior for more practice.  It was a great break from strictly following tutorials, which I’ve mostly done for the past year, so it was nice to model something completely on my own.  Along the way, I got lots of ideas for using it in future projects, or expanding on it somehow.  I definitely want to bake all the high poly details to a lower poly object and then texture it in Substance Painter or Blender.  It’s also a great excuse for me to make some other assets that I use to decorate it, like furniture or vegetation/landscape stuff.  

    I got it to that point just to submit the exercise, but I’m already missing working on it and want to jump right back in to continue it.  But I kind of want to take a short break and do a few new tutorials and start on Jonathan’s new Pothead course.  I’ll definitely be adding more to it, though.  I put a few pics so far in my gallery, and I’ll post some pictures here of any future updates.
