Houses
Starting off simple, I started by adding the assets refference. I added it twice, so that I am able to see it from both sides. I have then start to make the docking. All of these so far have been made with cubes.
I started working on adding the little foundations below the dock. For me this task is pretty difficult because for some reason, I cannot select them but only through the hierarchy and I am not too sure why this happens. So putting them together is quite a challenge and to exactly put them in the right position; as I cannot view the template only because my Maya goes weird. Doing all the little "legs" was incredibly time taking as I had to be very precise manually...
This is when I started working on the actual houses. I made that using a cube, which then I added a an extra subdivision in depth. That line allowed me to bend the top like how the house would be made. After checking views (side views) to check that it is properly alligned I deleted the 2 faces at the top and the 2 faces within the cube. Made the roof by putting a rectangle on top. I placed it in the right position and also increased the subdivision by 1. Following that, I added 4 more divisions through "connect". I have used the function non-linear -> bend to bend the roof downwards which show a japanese style house. I tried really, really hard to bend the roof even more to give it that fancy bend towards the end but I just cannot do it. I'm not very sure what the issue is.
The gate wa spretty forward and easy to do. I made 2 cubes and enlarged them on the Y axis. After I did one side I duplicated the other. Making the block of wood in between, was fairly simple; same process but on the X axis. Then I had to select the vertexes on the bottom and to bring them inwards.
During this asset I thought that each design was a different house (two houses). But this isn't true and i found out towards the end. So in order to fix this I made 2 different houses with the same style. This asset has confused me when I started doing the roof and it would not bend the way I needed it to.
