This is a replica of the old train station that we used to have in Valkenswaard, which is the town where I live in. It was demolished in 1962, so finding reference material was not easy. After having searched in every corner of the internet unsuccessfully, I eventually went to a meeting of a local […]

Here's another project that is based on a real building in Valkenswaard, the town where I live. This time it's about the Venbergse Molen, where molen translates to mill. This water mill has a rich history, and I wrote a separate blog post about that. Check it out here: https://3ddre.puntenel.nl/blog/venbergse-molen-valkenswaard/ I built most of the […]

This building exists at the edge of my hometown. It was built as a communications bunker by the Germans during World War II. I wrote a separate blog post on the building's history in a blog post here. Luckily, I was allowed to investigate the building in its current state and take some pictures. Many […]

I wrote a separate blog post here about this scene, and it contains background information on the building and the history. I began by searching for reference images, since this is a real building that is still standing. For me, this was the first time that I used the Blender add-on Archimesh. I kicked myself […]

I started this project because I wanted to practice building a simple building, like the infamous gate-building of Auschwitz. Once I was done with the building, I added the train tracks, and doing so resulted in me wanting to add a train as well, and after that it all just gotten out of hand.

I read somewhere that they are going to demolish this building, and since I have some fond memories that originate in this building, I decided to build it in 3D. I used the photo's that are included as comparison to build this model.

I really liked how it looked so I decided to add all sorts of stuff and transform the model in to an old Russian room during the cold war. Also I added a cloth simulation to the curtain so it moves in the wind. For me this was mostly a project that allowed me to fool around with cloth simulating, but also lighting.

This was one of the very first real projects that I embarked on. It took me a very long time. If I would have to do it again, I would do everything so differently. But that only shows that I've learned a lot from it and that was the goal.

I built this room from memory. This was one of the first places I lived when I moved out of my parents house. I exported this model to Unity and performed some required tasks before I could upload it as a custom world to VRChat. From within VRChat this room can be entered. I showed this VR version to old friends and they said it took them right back to those days.
