I then proceeded to tracing them out using AutoCAD. It had been a while since I touched AutoCAD so it was nice to be refreshed. Progress.
The drawings I found online and the corresponding AutoCAD drawings. Quite painstaking.
Later on I tried to use Mr. Angus' method as he thought in the import CAD drawing/house modelling class but I could not remember the steps. Also, I installed the 2012 version of 3ds max. The controls there from the ones in the computer lab are different and I found it difficult to find certain functions. Therefore, I uninstalled 2012 and installed 2010.
I still could not quite get the hang of the extruding function, need more practice.
Because of that, I moved to SketchUp.
This is the first time I've ever used SketchUp. I'm amazed at its simplicity.
The above images are where I am at right now. I extruded the walls and most of the interior.
The things I have left to do are:
1) Edit the stairs
2) Finish the roof
3) Finish railing
4) Material rendering
5) Context rendering.
No sleep tonight.
