Hello, my name is João, and I am currently working on a project with a friend of mine, and we are focusing on medieval buildings, but I made this house and it looks good to me, but I would like to ask your opinion!
Feel free to criticize or praise, or give suggestions of what can be improved!
But the neon window at the very stop is very bright, try lowering that down a bit.
I like the smoke effect you put at the top. Also maybe try centering the door to that part of the build.
Seems like a wattle and daub chimney would catch fire? Daub is partly made of wood (also). Making it out of bricks in the same style as the ground floor of the main building would seem more realistic, and tie the whole thing together into a nicer composition. I would change the gabel of the rounded top-most floor to be the same waddle and daub construction as the rest of the walls. Check out this picture. Logically, the roof would be constructed of some kind of tile? Doesn’t make much sense to put tile on a vertical surface like that. Once again changing it to wattle and daub would make the build reference itself even more, making it seem like there’s the same logic to every construction decision. Right now the shape of the roof is really hard to read, in part because of the lack of texture and the lighting conditions. Speaking of which, it’s really confusing trying to figure out if it’s a day or night scene because of the skybox and shadows and glow from the window. I would add texture to the roofing tiles in the same manner that you added bricks to the brick wall. Not every tile has to be there, it just has to be in a few places to add the suggestion of individual tiles in a low-poly abstract sort of way.
Random nitpicks:
It looks like the floor above the brick walls has no texture on the walls, while the side building and chimney have textures? That’s weird. The smoke particles are full-bright, which doesn’t help with the confusing time of day. Tiny realism nitpick: the X shaped wooden construction between the 2nd floor windows isn’t a shape I’ve seen very often in this type of construction. Although of course there are examples of all kinds of elaborate designs.
Overall, really nice build. The only thing I would definitely change is the roof tiles thing I talked about, because right now the roofs are some pretty big areas with no detail. Adding detail there would make your build have a good balance of large, medium and small shapes, with some areas with high amounts of detail and some areas with low amounts.
Would agree. The bloom is also set a bit high. Turning it down reduces the effect and gives it a clean look. Also add some bricks here and there along the chimney. I like the house, but the lighting is confusing.
Really great! I like the mix of grey & red! Also the white/grey bricks sticking out adds more life to it! The smoke out of chimney also adds alot of life to it, this is near perfect! I’d say you just add a door knob, and make the neon window at the top a little less bright, overall it’s perfect! 9.9/10 (in my opinion.)
