Hey there, I finished decorating my house tonight and thought I'd give it a one over here. It's fairly basic in form, but I made a chandelier and used camps as accents to a room.
(my bandwidth might die at some point)
It's a large generic house, iirc.
When you first walk in
First room to your left
Following into the RIS room, with different angles and perspective.
My Imperial room, full of propaganda and eye candy.
Over to the side room
The main room from a few views. The chandelier above and the trophies below. Along with the close up on the other side.
The main room from the other direction, and the other. A little shot at the camo kit/sixpack on the table.
My bedroom along with the "bed" inside my tent.
To the other side of the house is the guest room, fairly bare. A friend of mine chilling in the room outside it.
Heh, well that's all of it. Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated, just figured I'd see what kind of looks it gets, since it was my first large house attempt.

very nice job....
my only advice would be to go easy on the lights, too many and the room becomes waaay too bright

I really liked the RIS and Imp rooms. They're both simplistic in design but complementory to the static structure of the room.
The chandelier was very well done aswell.
I'm personaly not big on the tents, though I did enjoy the fact that it acts as a bed in your bedroom.
Very well done.

Thanks again. I can't say the tent in the main room is all that relevant, but I felt like it was needed at the time. Mostly I just wanted a way to make the room semi-unique looking and using the only thing I can craft seemed appropriate. Not too happy with the chandelier, but it's growing on me. It just popped into my head before I fell asleep one night, so I tried it out.
Seems as though the imp and ris room work along a line of symmetry more so than the other rooms, which may be why they end up looking better. Less clutter, so to speak.

Thanks.
I had that problem early on. The main room is actually lit by only one mystical orb. There used to be a lot of little lights, but the orb gave it better lighting. For the most part, using candles seemed to help that problem, but there are a few places where I used too bright a light, I gather.
Might just throw out these lamps I have in a few places and plop down some more candles instead. They give better lighting in any case.

constructive criticism would be appropriate here guys. he's looking for positive feedback and suggestions, not whether he's impressed you or not.
It's a good first try. Large houses arn't easy. One thing I do if i need inspiration is just hit the bazaar and look at all the items. There's tons of things in game, that we all usually forget about, that has the potential to be used as a cool decoration. I also keep tweeking and adding and changing my own houses. It's always a work in progress

Aye, I do intend to add on and remove old parts once it gets boring to my eyes again. I know it isn't anything great, seeing as my guildmate and friend Kurrin is a homeshow winner and his PA Mall next door to my house is pretty amazing. I'll probably be replacing a few normal items with unique creations in time, but this is pretty much a base. A bit like painting at this point, I'm throwing down the primary shapes, then going back later to make it look good and detailed.
Just a first attempt, negative feedback is fine so long as you're telling me something to fix, but I know it isn't anything groundbreaking. It's mediocre, but it isn't crap, so I got what I wanted out of a first try.

I liked how you put the lamda shuttle on the radar/terminal thingy. If you had a deathstar, that would be very fitting as if it was the plans for the ultimate weapon!
Nice job!

heh, if only I could afford the couple million Deathstars out there. Figured a lamda would have to do, at least.. for now.
Interesting story behind those 3 TIE suits. I had a bug in Inquisition that made me unable to complete my tier 3 mission, so I had to redo the whole tree again. Then the bug repeated, so I tried out another squadron and it has been running smooth so far. But each time I get a TIE suit to remind me of the bug.. heh.
