Home Builder Geometry Nodes

[@KevinMerinoCreations]

Thanks for the insights of all of the functionality! Very powerful features!

[@tontondatu]

Really amazing update. M here also excited waiting for the final release.

[@LuRybz]

suggestion: fences, wall fences, glass fences, pools, pool stairs, curtain walls (really common in modern houses, specially with 2 floors).

[@TerenceKearns]

Wow. that was fascinating and educational. A log of ingenious ideas in there. Very impressive.

Hello, I started using Blender after watching your videos, which are excellent guides. Your videos are truly exceptional. I'm interested in learning kitchen design assembly animation videos. Could you please create tutorials on KZbin focused on kitchen assembly animation? Thank you.

Hi Andrew ! Excellent KZbin Channel ! Keep up the great work ! I have watched all of your previous videos numerous times, and was extremely impressed with this last video "Home Builder Geometry Nodes", which you posted well over 7 months ago ! I'm not a programmer by any means, and I know that development does take some time, but I was wondering (a) when you are intending to release what I will assume to be "Home Builder 5.0", and will it include the (1) Pro Cabinet/Pro Kitchen, (2) Door Styles, & (3) Complex Geometry Modules ? (b) What is the time frame schedule for its release (c) Indicative Pricing for the respective Blender Addon Modules, and (d) Will you be able to GCODE output the final designs, directly out of Blender to directly run Nested Based Manufacturing CNC Machinery, complete with possibly Bill of Materials (BOM) and Tool Pathing, and True Nesting ! I'm sorry for the extend of all my questions above, but as you can appreciate I'm very excited with the possible prospects of your current development, and its overall progress, and direction ! With kindest and sincere regards. Kinetic Joinery.

I will have a new release out soon which will include many of the items you listed. GCode and Nesting will take some time. I don't have a time frame for the next release, but I hope to make it available soon.

So happy to see you new update.

[@grobknoblin5402]

You are so awesome man! I cant belive how good this is! Blender wouldnt be half as good without yourself and people like you! Im so happy you make these great learning tools you are a wonderful teacher! I hope you are well!

[@mind_of_a_darkhorse]

I have one question, how much are you going to charge once you get Home Builder to the marketplace? I think you are doing a wonderful job!

[@stephen-boddy]

Andrew so far has stuck to the idea of the base add-on being free, with the full asset pack being a paid addition. The base add-on has some limited samples, and there's nothing to stop people from implementing their own additional assets. Having looked at the current implementation of the example assets, I'd say it is going to be a reasonably high bar to produce your own assets (3d, Blender API, Python etc). I also think there was going to be some more pro features, i.e. exporting code to drive CNC machines for producing parts to create the modeled cabinetry. I think he mentioned that in one of the recent v4 videos. Maybe that kind of thing might end up as paid functionality.

[@mind_of_a_darkhorse]

@@stephen-boddy So, he is taking a Bagapie approach for his addon. I think it will be a huge success!

[@Z-add]

He might charge for detail dxf output for nesting in external optimizers.

[@andrewpeel1996]

I am not sure about the cost of the paid version yet. I will have more information about it soon.

[@geekmall225]

Can you reduce the price of the library asset home bulder stp 😢😢

[@earlygamer3590]

Ok but how do we render plan with dimensions? Also if the wall pieces are seperated the dimension wont work.

[@andrewpeel1996]

You can the standard Blender render command. I might not understand what you are asking. If you ask on discord I can better answer your questions.

[@azeneza]

looks great - my question is, is it printable, ie can one create an SVG or similar file and print say via IrfanView, GIMP etc - in other words, is it possible to print to paper with the dimensions visible in plan, elevation, and maybe even isometric views

[@andrewpeel1996]

Yeah I will have a way to generate a pdf from the plan, elevation, and 3D views you create with dimensions. I still need to implement a way to create vector files, but that will be possible.

[@azeneza]

another question - two in fact: first, the 'changing mesh size' function is inspired (it might appear easy to non-geonode geeks, but for us mere mortals it's like magic), would the dimension values update when the mesh is altered, or is that asking too much... and second, is there a single geonode structure that controls all dimensioning, or does it duplicate itself every time you add a dimension... in other words, does the dimensioning geonode increase the filesize significantly as you add more and more...

[@andrewpeel1996]

The dimensions can be automatically updated based on the changes to the mesh. A single geo node is used for all dimensions, so it shouldn't significantly increase file size.

[@Charlieband]

Hi anybody can tell my how i canndo a front cabinets i want use some moder fronts

[@mjmuftah271]

Just amazing 🎉❤

[@LuRybz]

I've recorded a video "Revit x Home Builder (early stage)" to address some issues to improve Home Builder.

[@landosouzza]

waiting anxiously 😂

[@milliondreams9330]

looks like sketchup users are soon going to move to blender with home builder,

[@63bert]

It's strange to see how differently you make the skirting boards in a kitchen. You can easily see some KZbin videos of how other cuisines are made. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqTPeYB8mL6LmpYsi=Pw2RrAGtFYK5CH8B

[@andrewpeel1996]

There are a lot of different ways to create skirting boards. Leg levelers would be a good option to add. I will look into this.
