Creating a 3d model house in blender and making it available in game

[Jinxiewinxie]

Thank you! I followed the one from Necora just now too but it was STILL dark! I ended up doing all white and it looks much better. Thanks again!

no problem, i spent 2 years to use those 64x64 white AO.

Just a quick, heartfelt thank you for this.
I've worked with Maya, 3DMax, Vue etc. but Blender has always been weird to me.
This has helped me greatly in getting to grips with its modeling side and might someday be able to make models for Banished.

doesnt happend you know how to make 3D animated and rigged animals? ^^

[Artfactial]

Gehe, sadly no, animation and rigging never was a very strong point.:')

So I've got a question about a detail that really should be in the first post somewhere, what's the scale of Blender Units to Banished units? My best guess is 0.7 to 1.0 but I'm not too sure on that. Your tutorial as in depth as it is, stands to be utterly confusing for a simpleton like me who's having trouble getting scale right at all without a solid starting point to work from.

Hi and welcome @MajorThomas

The scale in Blender is 1= the height of a man in Banished
A door could be 1.10

Could a free 3d model be used to make a building mod? I have seen some nice Japanese buildings that I would love to have in my Banished game, but unsure if they could be incorporated into the game.

@Katsuro
Can be done. The model should have build stages which have to be added.
Not too tricky. But there is still a lot of work involved.

yeah it could be some editing be needed from you. is the model scaled with banished ? if not need to be fix... are the walls being doubled (in and out?), are the building stages done ? does it have a pointliss of dummys inside ? if not , need to be done.....

and how the textures are applied ? etc....

yes they can be taken for Banished, but for sure, you have work to do on it (200% sure you have to add some work)

@Vaxy

   String _description = "A Mushroom Farm is used to grow Muxhrooms."
       This mod adds an Mushroom Farm building and profession.";

You have a quotation mark too much.
