For this week I decided to focus on building the second house for my level. I decided to go with this slightly bigger house compared to the last one because the design of it caught my eye. My goal is to finish the base of the house first and worry about the doors and the fences later.
I decided to model the house into three separate parts so that if I wanted to make another different design I could possibly reuse these pieces and save some time later. When it came to modeling this piece my only issue was that when working on extruding the door frames on the balcony it would create some unnecessary faces on the back. It was easily fixed by simply deleting them but it was a bit tedious double checking them to see if there was still any left.
The second wall was pretty simple to make since all I have to worry about was adding windows to the walls. Making this wall took me at most 30 minutes since I still had to readjust some UV lines to make the window frames.
The third wall became a bit more tricky since this was a huge balcony. In the end I decided just to combine the front,side, and back wall to save time and to make it less of a mess. When it comes to making the bars at the top I had to do a tedious process where in order to connect the bars I had to delete the 2 faces of the connecting points and merge their vertices together. This was just to guarantee that I would not have any hidden faces in the model.
Once again since I could not find a reference for the back of this house I just went with the assumption that there will be a door on the back of the house with a couple of windows. Since I have now gotten used to the process of making the doors and windows this went by quickly.
To finalize the walls for the house i just simply added two windows to the last wall. I did run into the issue where the walls in the back were a bit big when it comes to the width but that was easily fixed with a bit of scaling.
I then finish off the base of the house by planting a roof on top. This process was done by making one half of the roof on the front size then simply duplicating it to the other.
Now that I have modeled out the base of the second house I now plan for the rest of this week to model out the extras like the doors and the fences. Once I am done modeling out the tiny details I want on my house I will then move on creating the third house and setting up the UV maps for all of those three houses.
