what is the deal with bathrooms ? some of the bathrooms coming out are bigger than a kitchen or living room and some have gigantic gawdzilla windows so i guess the whole neighborhood or city can watch you !!!
i guess i just want simple practical bathrooms to render

I was thinking the same thing. Just the sheer number of bathrooms in the shop is noticable. It seems a new one comes out every other week or so
I still haven't figured this one out.
Maybe I'm just old fashioned. It doesn't even appear to be a window. Just a big opening so you can be closer to nature.
I like the new bathroom but does the dryer open?
Maybe it is because at heart, all 3D artists really want to render spheres on a reflective chessboard pattern surface, but we don't want to get laughed at. So instead, we render bathrooms which have a tiled floor and lots of other reflective surfaces to give us a similar effect.
I once rented a holiday home for a long weekend - an old building that had a large clear window right next to the toilet. Luckily it had curtains. Maybe someone can come up with a convincing frosted grass texture for all of these bathroom windows.
I've thought for a long long time that Daz has a bathroom fetish ;)

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks there are a lot of bathrooms 'flooding' the market.
That and big fancy bedrooms. I guess you get up, pee, bathe, and go back to bed? Yeah, I don't get the fascination either.
I guess they are for rich folk that live behind gated walls on hundreds of gardened acres.
I really would love a sci-fi bathroom.
People should stop buying and PA will see there is no money in it and stop making them.....
However, if i was to make a gues. Bathrooms are a great location for nude renders. Next to the bedroom its probably the most likely place people are naked...
The problem with bathrooms is the size of real bathrooms. I read once that you can put a "three piece bathroom" in a 5 foot by 8 foot room. At that size (in the 3D world) it is hard to get significant camera angles.
Yes, and have room for a couple of small freestandin cabinets, one to contain my towels and toiletries and one to hold spare loo rolls and detergents.
we have a couple of Australian shows that often show case fancy homes and some have bathrooms like these and there is a lot though most of us poor folk don't but most of us our toilets have their own room not in the bathroom
Yes I grew up in a typical British 1930s semi and we had a bathroom and a toilet. The bathroom was abot 3ft x 6ft and the bathroom probaby about 6ft x 6ft, containing a bath and a hand basin.
This is a scene that I modeled based on the layout of a Marriott Courtyard room i stayed in. The door on the right goes to the hallway. The door on the left goes to a room just big enough for a tub (with shower) and toilet. While the entrance to the room is wider (I had to so that I could get a decent camera angle), the actual area with the sink is true to real life size. The area opposite the sink is a small closet, but there's little or no way to actually see that in a render.
My point is that bathrooms that are real world size are too small for meaningful renders.
This reminds me of a place we stayed at in Belgium. The hotel was a gorgeous chateau, but the rooms were modern-build chalets in the grounds. The bathroom wasn't overlooked by any of the other chalets, but had a plain glass window and no curtains. I was sitting in the bathroom the first morning when I had that feeling of being watched - turned and saw a sheep staring right at me from just outside the window!
the same way I will stop making sets with ropes or squirting water and slime when people stop giving me large amounts of money for them.
Please sir, don't tell me it's all related. lol
Size wouldn't be such the issue, if they made the room in parts so walls could be removed.
You can only do so much with the camera settings
Fun bit: I came across some blueprints for the original Enterprise once. The bathrooms for the bridge are directly behind (that is - ship forward of) the main viewscreen.
More fun bathrooms: In California, there's a place called the Madonna Inn. It's a very eccentric place with a lot of things harvested from nearby Hearst Castle. It's biggest draw is that every hotel room has vastly different themes, some of which are quite elaborate. It's a big place though, and there's public restrooms in the lobby and in the restaruant. So, they took some creative designs to those too.
In mixed groups of travelers, you often see one gender scout out the restrooms until they're empty, so the other gender can peak inside at the oddities.
The lobby mens room is designed as rough stone. The urinal is a 5' wide rock wall with a constant waterfall flowing over it. The sinks are giant sea-shells set into the rock.
The lobby womens room is typically described as a 19th century French Boudouir. Lots of gilt, poufy material, and couches.
The restaurant mens room is entirely done in sheets of copper, with some wood trim.
I don't remember the restaurant women's room.
But will the bathroom of the future actually have... wait for it... wait for it... THE THREE SEASHELLS!
In this age of social media and selfies, it's an exhibitionist dream come true
When I become a billionaire, my mansion is going to have Stonemason's new Gothic Library and Nikisatez's Outdoor Bathroom https://www.daz3d.com/outdoor-bathroom
...crikey, now I know why I have so many dreams involving bathrooms. I usually check the latest Daz offerings before turning in for the night.
I mostly use this bathroom

as I can easily configure it closely to my own

It reminds me of the problem I had with creating rooms in sims when I played that game. I create a house from scratch then start putting in furniture to find out the rooms are too big compared to the furniture. Great big bathrooms were part of the problem. 0.o
I just want bathrooms with toilet seats that raise and lower with water inside and with shower stalls with dooors that open and that you can hide ceilings and walls to get a Goodman shot.
I am one of those people that buy bedrooms and bathrooms quite regularly but I won’t buy them if they don’t have separate mat zones and the toilet seats don’t go up.
When I first saw that, I thought it was a joke. Then I image searched outdoor bathroom and I learned that people are weird. I guess I'm remembering the old story about the guy who was naked in his home when someone cutting through his yard - tresspassing - saw him and called the cops. He was charged and later aquitted, but an outdoor bathroom, that's just asking for trouble.
Most outdoor bathrooms I’ve seen have been attached to the home and screened off with walls. I really enjoy taking a hot shower outside. There is something surreal about it. Plus no smell or steam gets indoors.
there was a trick to the bathtub in dream home. couldnt figure it out by myself, needed help
why *aren't* there more renders of giant radioactive dinosaurs in snazzy modern bathrooms in the gallery?
