Visualising my room with a 3D model

in-progress

Update

A raytraced image of my room

A demo is available at https://room-ldgrp.vercel.app/.

After a few hours of playing around with Blender, I have a basic model of my room. I’m still not happy with the lighting and I’m not sure how to get the model to look more realistic. I also need to spend some time adding more detail to the meshes.


I want to create a 3D model of my room using Blender. There’s some interesting things I can do with this model:

  • I can sync it with Home Assistant to show the current state of my room.
  • I can figure out the current position of the sun and show how light comes into my room at different times of the day. The skylight over my desk and the west-facing window make for some interesting lighting effects.
  • I can show how my bedroom layouts change over time and show a catalogue of different bedrooms I’ve had over the years.

I am unfamiliar with Blender so this will be a learning experience.
