Opinion: what you think about this house set ?

[RedKetchup]

Hi!

I decided to open my 3dsMax and draw something because it has been longtime i didnt open my 3D program.
there was a model i wanted to do since a good while. it was lurking somewhere in the brain..... ^^

but i am still not sure which path i should go with it.


Option 1 : Choose the format of the Colorful Little Houses. A 1 lvl floor (3x4 tiles) and a 2nd floor combo next to it (1x4 tiles).
and maybe add a little shelter the other side of it (like a cave, tornado shelter, reserve, stockage) to go with (like Country Little House format....)

or

Option 2 : you start to build the house at lower cost. Can be good for shelter 2 adults.... And then decide to pay what is left to upgrade it for 2 adults + 3 children.
and i can still add the storage to the other side....

through the screenshots, you will see the building process i did. the first picture is the 1st floor. and then i started to add to it (for 2nd floor or upgrade)
i didnt finished yet. i still need to make the stairs to 2nd floor and some little roof over some windows.

I know the model wont please to everyone It is something.... very ...  different ^^

It is very different. I think it would fit with a western (cowboy) type town quite well.

[RedKetchup]

well! seems to interest no one... then i ll keep for myself

i did the stairs and the awnings/roofs

It is a nice model but alone it will look... alone.
Think 8-10 buildings in the same style and you can have an interesting part of the town.
I really like the way you made it. Many interesting corners.

I do really like the style(although I am never much of a fan of the rounded roof-tiles), the stairs is lovely.
While I generally think the 'upgrade' feature is underused in mods, I think that making multiple story additions to give it that cobbled-together feel would suit this style better.
Like a clapboard family house that has been added on for generations.

[RedKetchup]

finally someone who is talking about the options
thanks

i didnt made much since out of tweaking a bit the pieces... and did the building process. i still need to do the code and paint it with all the colors i have

[Artfactial]

Love the details.
Great to see a version without round rooftiles!:D

[Nithalm]

I'd like it if you would go for option 1. It will go well with the two-layered houses you already have. (sort of your trademark feature) And for those who think it is broken.... well, make a version where the houses are more 'expensive'? Sort of endgame housing, where you need a surplus of resources to build these multi-story houses. Keep up the good work RedKetchup.

I really like the textures, stairs, hitching rail, and other details.  I'm just slightly confused-is this going to be several stories like the Medieval ones or one large home?  I agree with kid in that we need more buildings in the same style.  I know:  always more, more, more.

[RedKetchup]

if finally i will choose option 1 or option 2 will be when i ll try to see it in game. the thing is the stairs to go to the 2nd floor is 1.5 tiles width  i needed to make the stairs straight in front , in middle of the tile but for the look, i did curved it to follow the wall of the house.

that would work better as an upgrade, but will see how it will imbricate each other.

[kid1293]

Choose upgrade or you will have to rebuild things. Not funny.
They are very nice as upgraded to 2 floors.

As @grammycat said - More!

[Kristahfer]

Keep going with this design. So I like it a lot. Will use it when available.

I do really like the style(although I am never much of a fan of the rounded roof-tiles), the stairs is lovely.

whats about this ?

[moonbelf]

This house style is growing on me lol. I like the squared roof tiles better myself.

[Kristahfer]

I like the wood shingle effect.
