====== Low Poly Cottage ======

==== Rough Walkthrough ====

| | |
|  {{:3d:models:cottage-step1.png?direct&125|}}  | New scene, start with default cube. | 
| ::: | Resize and extrude top to create a house shape. |
| ::: | Add two horizontal and vertical loopcuts. |
| | |
|  {{:3d:models:cottage-step2.png?direct&125|}}  | Create the roof by duplicating then separating the corresponding faces. |
| ::: | Pull it out just above, adjust the outer edges so they go further than the base and apply a mirror for the other side. |
| ::: | Duplicate the entire setup to create a second floor. |
| | |
|  {{:3d:models:cottage-step3.png?direct&125|}}  | Add solidify to the roof (Offset 0) and apply it. |
| ::: | Move things into place and move vertices around to break rigidity and create character. |
| ::: | Apply mirror modifiers on parts that need to be asymmetrical. |
| | |
|  {{:3d:models:cottage-step4.png?direct&125|}}  | Add beams to connect the different parts of the building together. |
| ::: | Loop cut the beams and set them in line with the lines of the building. |
| ::: | Use mirror modifiers, apply if individual editing is required, leave in place where mirroring is enough to properly show on all sides. |
| | |
|  {{:3d:models:cottage-step5.png?direct&125|}}  | Use knife tool to create cuts for windows and doors. |
| ::: | This step creates n-gons. They can be kept if they are flat faces, or cut down to quads and triangles. |
| ::: | Different faces can also be made flat by scaling to 0 along the perpendicular axis then rotating the flattened face back into position. |
| | |
|  {{:3d:models:cottage-step6.png?direct&125|}}  | Duplicate loops of windows and doors and move out slightly. |
| ::: | Scale inwards, extrude then scale outwards, rectify geometry and/or normals if needed and solidify to create window frames and doors. |
| ::: | Add another level of detail with small beams inside the windows and details such as door frames and door knobs. |
| | |
|  {{:3d:models:cottage-step7.png?direct&125|}}  | Create a pipe with a low poly cylinder (16 sides). |
| ::: | Extrude upwards with top face selected and **''CTRL'' + ''RIGHT CLICK''** in a sort of wobbly path. Bevel some joints and extrude along normals. |
| ::: | Correct any distortion manually by selecting edge loops and rotating them back to fit. Dissolve half the edge loops to bring cylinder down to 8 for a more chiseled look. |
| | |
|  {{:3d:models:cottage-step8.png?direct&125|}}  | Create lamps easily with a cube, loop cut and scale out the center loop and in the top and bottom. |
| ::: | Inset all faces with **''I''** twice to target individual faces, then extrude and scale down along normals to create the cut-out for the inside. |
| ::: | 5 sided cylinders work very well for low poly ropes that are fairly thin and not very visible. |
