Building criticism

Day 1 of trying to build

Trying to improve my building as a newer builder and this is the first one I’ve made. Any tips to make it more detailed? (I tried textures but when you scale them up they look weird, atleast the ones I used)!


Changed building with different color scheme:

Try aligning the window and door it looks pretty sloppy, add a triangle/pyramid type of roof, that would make it a bit better.

The roof should the flush

The window is completely covered.

The separation between the 1st and 2nd floor is too apparent

I am not quite sure what style you are going for or what exactly the building is supposed to resemble so my main tip would be to make sure players see what it is and appreciate it.

To make it more detailed: You could add different layers of roofs, again, i dont know if it’s supposed to fit into a tight plotted city or a flower garden. Adding windows and sticking to only a handful of colors/materials for your pallette would be great. I’d recommend to start with a light base color and then expand with darker parts all around your builds, for example at the bottom, adding a downspout, and a bigger roof. Also, try to avoid most textures besides brick, concrete and (smooth) plastic for your base/main/ biggest parts. Marble is great for accents or indoor wall pieces or floors.
Remember, (usually) the more parts used, the better the build will look. If something looks too flat or simple then it could be great to just add a more complex design to that designated area.
Good luck!

I was going for more of a cobblestone/brick type theme (like a brick house) with multiple layers. But I guess I’ll use a different texture and play around with it. I was wondering if I should stick to 4 colors or pick 10 and i thought 10 would be better but I guess not. Don’t know what a downspout means and I’ll take the advice about looking too flat. Thanks!
Edit: I misread the texture part, my bad. I know what a down spout is too so I’ll have to make that later.


(Readding windows later and adjusting door later, just wanted to see how the roof looked)

Question, Why are you using F3X?

I personally just prefer it over the original. The original was too hard to use for me.

What is wrong with F3X?
I am prepared to battle with you, no matter what, i will always defend F3X! :triumph: :crazy_face:

Using reference pictures from google is a great way to have a guideline when working on a realism-ish build. You will notice details and implement them in your build while also sticking with a overall natural looking design. You don’t have to recreate a building but it is a great way to improve your building skills and understanding of certain structures. I personally use reference images all the time, definitely recommend!

Yeah I try to use references, but sometimes I just straight up copy it

you have me on your side sir

The roof should the flush? explain a bit more about this
I’ll redo the window and what do you mean by the separation?

Doesn’t really matter if people prefer the basic building tools or F3X
