Truitt Mansion
Jason Truitt's elegant and expansive home is a primary location in the story of "Finding Gaia". It is loosely based on an amalgamation of several real-life mansions of the era when it was built. To facilitate continuity of floorplans and enhanced conceptions of the spaces where the characters spend so much of their time, I made a rough model of the house using Google Sketchup.
It was my first use of the program, so the plan has several technical errors, but still serves to yield a general idea of what the house looks like both inside and out. Adding elements to SketchUp increases the file size, so I didn't furnish every room or place every railing, sill, etc., but simply placed a few elements around to gauge relative space. Likewise, not all surfaces have been fully painted/textured, and I haven't included all of the grounds nor the forest surrounding them.
