Roll up your sleeves… another 3D modeling challenge starts now!

How strictly are you inclined to enforce the single enclosed space clause?

The reason I ask is that one of my dreams revolving around my intended tiny home village living is a common house that is mostly one large room: Community Kitchen separated by a breakfast bar from a dining/living/event space. Visually, it will feel like one large space. But there are other spaces beyond this including:

  • Outdoor cooking area with grille, wood fired oven, sink, and a bit of prep space adjacent to an outdoor living area that, in good weather, will integrate with the indoor one large room by opening many doors.
  • Laundry room - well insulated for sound but opens into the one large indoor room so we can socialize with our neighbors while doing laundry.
  • Media “nook” which can be closed off for sound isolation, but will also open up for special occasions when far more people than usual will want to consume media (primarily TV) together like the World Cup final, World Series, Super Bowl, Election Night, etc.

Should I detail just the one big room, and model the rest as “background” just to place it in context?

Another question: Should I decide to complete my already started #InsideWonderland entry, I’ve already made a dynamic component that’s a series of bar stools in a line - # and spacing defined through Component Options. I started it with a model of a single bar stool that I got from the 3D warehouse. I modified it to reduce the polygon count, duplicate itself (per Component Options), and swivel randomly on redraw (so they don’t look identical, even when all lined up.) – Would this violate the “No downloading from the 3D warehouse or other 3D modeling libraries” rule?
