ESTATE Part 11 – Appliances Update 🍳

This month’s update expands the deVELL Kitchen with a strong focus on built-in appliances. My goal was to achieve a seamless, integrated look — but that comes with a technical twist involving shaders.

Here’s why that matters:

• Most functional appliances (like fridges, ovens, and dishwashers) use the phong shader, which reacts to room lighting and supports animations (like doors opening).

• Seamless elements such as counters and cabinets use a different shader that takes lighting from the walls or floor, blending in perfectly — but they can’t animate.

To make a kitchen that’s both functional and visually consistent, I combined both approaches. The result: fully built-in fridge and dishwasher units that look part of the cabinetry. They may require a bit of lighting or placement adjustment in-game for the best result — a small trade-off for the seamless finish.

Here’s what’s included in this update:

• 🧊 Built-in fridge and dishwasher

• 🔥 AVA ovens – single-tile and two-tile options

• 🍞 Built-in double oven (requires Dream Home Decorator)

• 🍳 Gas hob

• 🪵 Matching cabinets for standalone fridges

• 🧼 Plain counter for dishwasher integration

• 📏 Tall oven cabinet

• 🚰 deVELL sink and decorative pot filler for final touches

Happy building and cooking — and thanks for all your support!
