As part of our refresher course in 3D modeling, our class was tasked with constructing our own personal buildings through the use of modular design, which is the process of using various units and pieces to create a completed structure. Not only does this technique help limit memory space, it also allows for far more safety nets when creating a structure, as repeated walls and foundations keeps the building within an easy to understand ratio. Now I won't say that my particular building was the most interesting of the bunch, because it's absolutely not. Regardless of its simple nature, I put in the effort to maintain some level of complexity, mainly through the addition of log beams and a porch. As is typical for houses modeled like this, I ended up making each wall a separate element, with a few having windows just to open up the exterior. I did also chose to make the stone base out of multiple pieces, this allowed me to connect it to the stone porch and make and add just another 3D layer to the piece. Beyond that, it comes with plenty of standard house features, mainly an extra chimney on the side, so again, not super out of the ordinary. I did attempt to experiment with wall shapes along the way, but was unable to find something that looked even vaguely good in the time I had to finish it. While I think that the house itself is perfectly fine, I do still find myself to be irritated by the idea that I could have done so much better, which I may have to live with until the next assignment rolls around. I guess this can at least serve as an example until then.
