Sanstrata house

Well I sort of had this picture in my mind for a wooden yet sort of classy house. This is a rather small one for maybe a small spell shop or something. Tell me what you think.


Also the windows were tilted on propose.

I sort of got the idea for the top of the house from a house that soul blade made.

I was going to say that it was too much brown... but when I see it in a level, it isn't
:P
the top is a little too plain, but I don't know how you could fix that...

It would look awsome in a dark, densly wooded forest though

also, level-wise, the shadows for the trees are directly under... but the shadow for the house is as big as the house itself infront of it... (looks like the sun is setting or something, and not overhead, like suggested with the trees)

but I do understand that the level was just made to show the house
:P

You still shouldnt have it so dark. Alot of your stuff is really dark initially, and people often say to lighten it up. That house looks like it belongs in a night-time setting, and then about that much light from the moon would cause such colors. The sun is considerably brighter.

Just trust me, it'll look better if you have a greater variation in shades of the colors you use.

See how much better that is? lol

When I first looked at the darker version I could not find the windows you were talking about

You shouldnt need 24 bit support x_X

It is possible to make the roof a seperate image from the rest of the house and put them together with a gani and then you'd have a bit more flexibility in the color department.

I thought the first house was horrible. The latest version is MUCH better! The shading on the roof looks weird to me though... An what's the with black around the edge of the roof? I think it would look better with wood there.

Edit: Oh, also try anti-aliasing the cross bits in the windows, they look jagged.

It looks awesome, but that roof is nasty..it doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the house..it looks like a slab of gold or something on top..

Oh, by the way, your grass tiles rock.

Looks awesome Donald.

The first screenshots look bland and sortof uninteresting, but when you added the fauna and otherbits to the grass floor, it seriously looks very good.

All looks great and works together. Not so sure about the shadow of the house... its correct I guess but the tree shadow is cool as its not just a block of shade but detailed shadow and then the house doesn't look as good as just a block of shade, but oh well

Ah yes well I have made the shadow smaller and Ill change it some more in a little while. Ive desided to only have about 20 mini plants for now maybe more later. I am going to redo the stump as I'm getting complaints about it. Here is the outline so far.


PS I kind of wish I hadent shown this stuff because I got two offers to murge my playerworld with another just yesterday. I said no of corse but the good thing is by showing you guys this is you can help me to fix my mestakes. Thank you for the good comments ^_^.

I didn't offer, you only assumed I offered... I just asked questions about your server, and when you asked why I was asking you, I said I might offer... then you said no thanks, so I didn;t bother
:P
you didn't have enough scripts for me to even offer anyways, and our gfx would have just conflicted.
