Hi, so I made this cabin over a small lake. What do you guys think of it, feedback would be appreciated! (The dummy is for size testing purposes)
It looks like a real cabin good job on that
It looks really good! Are you using shadow map? If not you definitely should, it’ll add more realism!
Thanks! It’s using future lighting, but I turned shadows off on some parts because I thought it might be too dark. What does future and shadow map even do?
So the shadow map enhances the shadows. It’s used in a lot of “realistic” games. If you’re going for that realism then you should use it! It makes it realistic basically using shadows
Good so far! There are a few things you should fix/add though:
-
Firstly, add some more detail on the exterior. Right now, the outside looks a bit like a free model, so adding some windows, lanterns, plants, and things like that will add more and make it look better.
-
I think that maybe you should fix the shape. Squares and rectangles are cool, but adding depth such as things like overhangs, and different bird’s-eye-view shapes for the base of it will just make it look so much better.
-
Lastly, interior. First, you should definitely add a brick fireplace. It will just make the vibe of the cabin a lot more “cabin-y”. Anyways, I think that maybe adding a decorative carpet in the middle of the room might just make it look a lot better. It may be just a little detail, but it will fill in that blank space that looks so bland.

Edit: Also, make the roof a pyramid or triangular prism sort of thing. I know you haven’t done it yet, but just make sure it’s not too flat!
Otherwise, this is a very good build! Keep it up!
Future is ultra-realistic lighting. He just turned off shadows. Future has better light projection so the light actually takes a shape and casts more solid shadows instead of illuminating an entire area and the transitions from shadow to light is more blurry and gradient.
This Is A Very Good But Maybe You Can Add Deatails Outside
It doesn’t quite look like a cabin, from my point of view it lacks over details use reference images to have that resemble of a log cabin something that’ll be seen in a campsite area.
Personally, I think that the house needs proper shapes and items surrounding the builds It also needs to have textures on the building to fit the cabin look, at the start it looks dull and undetailed I’d also recommend expanding the building by either adding other different shapes or objects shingles, chairs, wooden up against the house as you normally see in real life. My small recommendation would be adding a chimney to attract that cabin look place a overhang porch roof.
