My dishes didn't have a good image so I made a new image to help sell the dishes. I am not charging much for the dishes, but if it keeps up I might put more things together to sell a larger set. Then the dishes will include cookware, glass mixing bowls, and glass measuring cups, with a higher price. I have been redoing the cabinets and I can see something that needs more work.

The cabinets
The cabinets has a basic look while they anyone can change the looks with what I include. They normally look like regular kitchen cabinets, but using some panels you can make them look flat and plain like bathroom cabinets. There are other panels you can add to the center of the door panel like you can almost see in this image, and you can select from different hardware or no hardware. You just add what you want to design the look you want, like add a drawer pull handle or knob, put it in place and then move it to that door or drawer for the parent, and you can open the drawer and door with the panel and hardware attached and moves with the door. In this image you can see a drawer pulled out with a spatula in the drawer, and of you open and close the drawer that spatula moves with the drawer, because it is moved to make the drawer the parent along with the drawer handle. I have square panels and a panel with a hump on the top for a different design, and the panel of all the doors has a second material that I named wood 2, that can be a glass panel or a different color, while I made it black in this picture so the added panel will stand out.

I have been working to create a more flawless models that can do a lot more than just looking nice and doing nothing. In a way I feel the models I create can change the requirement for what people expect, when they had the best. The oven has preset materials where you can turn each burner on and you can turn the knob to make it look like the burner is on, and then there is one material to turn all on and all off, while the most useful is all off, because it don't matter which one is on they all change to off. The oven has a light and the heating element can be turned on with images showing what you want to turn on and off. The cook top has a light under the control panel for the oven, and it is on, but there might be too much light to notice it. The microwave has that holey screen, but you can't see it or I didn't make sure I used the newest uv map. It has a light in it and the appliances have a white and black version. I made the walls to make it easier to cut holes through the wall to put in windows and doors, or cut off the wall to make it shorter. They have everything inside them but wiring, while I do have outlets and switches. This makes it easier to show the house under construction, and it can show damage. I have a few layers in the floor to add a rug on the floor, and puddles of water, which can have textures to improve the look or create a pile of dirt or debris on the floor, and the layer is hidden under the floor until needed. this gives and adjustment to how tall you need that layer to rise while I set a limit for rug thickness. The walls include 2x4 frames, insulation, panels like outside wall insulation panels, and drywall inside and wall paper layer, with siding or brick and anything else you would like to use on the outside walls. I do everything with textures, because my video card don't let me use displacement, so all my models looks like they have siding while they are actually flat, and the bump map just helps it look like siding. I did add more to the image to make it look raised. I guess this can make it easier for anyone to get the same look, and if they can see the effects of displacement, then it can be more realistic. I made extra lumber that you might need when cutting a hole anywhere in the wall to add studs, and short 2x4s.

The floor has the look of floorboards on the top layer with 2x10s in the floor and insulation, and the bottom has a surface with a drop ceiling textures and look. I have a florescent panel light that drops below the drop ceiling for good lighting. You can't see it in this picture, but it is showing the lighting effects to the scene, because this is a closed environment with walls all around and a floor and ceiling, so no outside light gets in this scene, it is just lit by lights I added and not have any lights under the cabinets, just the microwave and vent with a light.

I have been waiting to put things together for sale, while it will replace the old stuff, that might not work.
When the better files, like the window blinds, the blinds are in the Daz Studio file with all the morphs, so there is no need to have a model or morphs, because that file has everything in it, you just click the thumbnail of the image and it loads that file and it only needs links to the location of the images like wood grain texture, and images. So the blinds work like real blinds. Cutting holes in walls is easy, but it can take some practice. You just create a black section for where you want to hide that area of the wall and the wall will look like there is nothing there and that same image used to cut a hole in the wall is the same one for everything in the wall that you want to show. I show everything, because the reason why I started to do this is to show damage, like a cushion of a chair when a dog that ripped the corner out, I wanted the cloth to be missing, and show the foam inside with damage to it, and the wall paper peal off the wall, with mold around the windows. To do this, you need to show inside. Maybe 3D people will have this to show a broken bone sticking out and a bend where the legs don't normally bend. I would not want to see that, but in action 3D videos, that might be our future. I just make models for the scenes that actually work like real life. I hated having a block with a picture of a dresser on it that is only for looks, and the model in the scene can't open a drawer. I started with a roll top desk and I still have it.
