I used SweetHome3D + Gimp to recreate my whole home!

Lots of measuring and downloading textures and models, but I finally have a digital ‘clone’ of my home!

The lights all react to changes in color and brightness, and are clickable. I made the buttons transparent so it looks cleaner.

Thermostat is in the center, if clicked it opens the thermostat options. The background glow of the temperature turns blue when cooling and red when heating (black when idle)

My 3D Printer can be turned on by clicking on it too, plus it shows the current progress if it is running.

I’d love to see other people’s floorplans for ideas, comment with a pic if you have one set up!

      Wtf, does it do some primitive form of ray tracing to figure out how the lights bounce around the floor plan? That’s sick!

      Here I am using Apple home like a loser

        SweetHome3D does that part.
        You export an image for every light, where its the only light on. Everything is black except where the light shines. Make those black parts transparent in Gimp or PS.

        now when you layer them you have each light’s beams all intersecting and mixing.
        There is a background image where all lights are off that they all stack on top of

        Its far simpler than you might imagine.

    This is why I quit driving: I won’t want a quarter of my house wasted to store a car.

    Other than that, nice floor plan!

      thanks! honestly I don’t even have a use for the storage space, my closet is like 20% full and my attic is empty.

      In Texas having your car covered is critical too

    Good job. Although those non-90⁰ walls are killing me.

    Is there a reason why it’s like that and you couldn’t expand the bathroom to make part of the hall and room entrances into usable space and straighten the wall angles?

      Yeah it makes NO sense. I found out how many empty triangles of space there are in this house while doing this project.

      Those closets are actually rectangles in real life.

      The bathroom door should absolutely be further out, the space is wasted currently

      We don’t talk about that room… 🤫

      But for real it’s a walk in closet. I have my servers in there, along with clothes and storage. I plan to put stats on the dashboard in that spot

          The servers are the filters 😊 To be clear when I say servers I mean old laptops running my nextcloud and homeassistant

    All I can think of is how violently loud my shit would have to be to disturb the guests over for dinner on the other side of the wall.

    Very cool, not dissing the post, just intrusive thoughts
