Myself, in a state that can be described as annoyed with certain trends in situations. I’ve described a lot of arguments and feelings here metaphorically. Almost every sentence in the text has something to convey.

Comment on Blender 3D: Architecture, Buildings and Scenery - Review by Rovo

well, I’ve gone through the book too recently and it is written in an easy to read and follow-along style and contains many (grey-scale) pictures to follow the movements of the author. Allan Brito explains how to build a house or a room and simple (or composite) objects yourself. A major part of the book concentrates on lightning/ambient occlusion and ray-tracing and on how to do a small animation.

Although the book has no real competitor at the moment, I wouldn’t recommend it to others anymore unless they want a good introduction on how to use blender. Firstly because of the outdated blender-version, and secondly - which is the major point - it uses some really complicated techniques and the book does not cover every part on constructing real-looking houses (f.e. roof is missing completely).

Vaclav Chaloupka has made some video-tutorials on how to do it better. He constructs his house based on a blueprint and shows some nice tricks and techniques on how to setup a roof, stairs, windows and furnitures. Moreover he covers some lighting and texturing-tricks and does an animation too and concentrates in a separate video on how to reduce rendering time with the usage of composition-rendering. So those videos extend the topic of the book by far and are by the way easy to follow and motivating too as you see all results in color.

So here is the link of those video-tutorials. Hope it will help you as much as it did for me: http://blender-house.spaces.live.com/

Nah, no noticeable snow yet here in Manchester. I’m off to London tomorrow at around 6AM and the probability of getting snow there is even less.

I’ll put up some pictures when I’m back in Malaysia and I can transfer the files off the camera.

Whoops! Got to run! (Chasing me to go off somewhere)
