Here is my kitchen. A month´s worth of work ~3/8 part time  
This was done entirely in cycas. No external tools like Blender, k3-d and the like. Models in natural size, but magnified 100 times for rendering.

Very good work. ;-))

... yes, very fine work.  

Maybe I should try to convince andrzeitp that these are nice 3D objects that he could donnate to the CYCAS symbols library ?

Best Regards,

Anja

great!

the modelling, the kitchen design, the colours, the rendering...nice!

those handles are a good design and they worked out well. can you post some close-ups?

what about the faucet, did you model that in cycas?

the only thing that troubles me is the top of the one wall cupboard is higher than the others. and maybe no cupboard above the microwave

my wife must not see these pictures otherwise she will want a kitchen like that

Yes, all the modelling was done solely in cycas, including the faucet.

Regarding the overall design - indeed me and my wife chose what kind of furniture goes where; however this model is reverse-engineered from our real-world kitchen  , which was made by a carpentry workshop from typical components. I also forgot to model a shelf which is above the microwave.

I am not at home right now and I don´t have the models at hand. I will post something when I am home.

Here is the handle close-up, natural size: .

Here is the handle close-up, model scaled 100 times (magnified) for rendering:

So, it only looks good from a proper distance  

The faucet: .
The sphere-like shaped water outlet was modeled by drawing a prism with a base which corresponds to the cross-section, then rotating it so that it "stands up" on the drawing plane, then moving appropriate points (indicated with yellow lines in the section drawaing) so that the element resembles a section of a pie and then by applying polar series to it. Much like in steve´s tutorial in http://www.cycas.de/forum/thema.php?board=12&thema=5.

The handle of the faucet was made by first modeling it in the plan view, then rotating it so that it lays flat on the drawing plane, and then moving appropriate points up or down.

The resulting wireframe:

With the sink I cheated a bit. I assumed that it only matters for me that the model looks good from outside, so its constituent parts can intersect as long as the visual effect is good.

The oven front and the oven controls are fairly simple. The same with the dish-washer. However, the grill was tricky... to be continued.

@anja: During modeling of my kitchen I developed quite a lot of version of closets (not all shown), the sink, the faucet (tap), the oven&controls, the upper part of the cooker/stove plus grills,  the microwave. It took me quite an amount of time. My wife often got angry   at me for spending too much time with the computer instead of paying more attention to her and to our little son... Anyway, if cycas was open-source I would donate right away. As it is now - I am thinking. No offense, please. I fully respect your choice of going proprietary. Even though I probably could hack cycas I dutifuly paid for the license. Do you have any cycase 3 -> cycas 4 upgrade policy in mind? If yes, can you share?
