Could someone make a tutorial on creating a fantasy style inn or small house? I know there is a tutorial here for simple house, but I would like a tutorial on hollowing out a cube and building in that manner, including materials.

Thank you!

I would like to see that aswell, I'm new to 3D and creating buildings so it'd be useful

Do you want the inside and outside, or just the outside? Because it's vastly different when you are just doing an outside.

How is it different?

I'd like both btw.

I'd like to see a detailed house tutorial, which teaches how to make windows... wood beams(inside to hold stuff)... you know those old houses?

[elementrix]

ill try to make a house tutorial this afternoon. just simple and with an interior.

i am now at school so i dont have time

[elementrix]

ok as promised here is my little house tutorial:(i also made my own tread for this tutorial so it will be more easy to find for guests.)

HOW TO CREATE A SIMPLE HOUSE - by elementrix

first of all lets create a cube, you can create one by clicking on "cube"in the right "create item" menu.
then go to 1 of the 2d views an select how big you wanna have your cube.

when you have your cube go to the polygon mode in the "edit mode" menu, now select the top polygon in your cube by holding shift and clicking on it.
then click at the extrude button in the polygon mode.





now go to one of the 2d views and hold your left mouse button. then mouve your mouse(you will see that there appears a new cube on the one you made.

like this:



now you will see that the upper polygon is red(if not,then select it). now press delete to delete the polygon.

now go to the vertex mode in the "edit mode" menu.
select the 2 vertex's as you see here:



now press the average button:


you will see that it brings the 2 vertex's together:

do the same thing with the other two vertex's.

now go to the polygon mode and select the 2 roof polygon's, then press the extrude button and move your mouse over the 2dview(as you did with your cube). you will get something like this:


now select the 4 roof side polygon's and do the same "extrude" thing.
it will look like this:



now select all the roof polygon's at 1 side (it should be 3 polygon's).
then press the merge button and you will see that it become's 1 polygon.

ok you now have a very simple house but ofcourse there need to be a door and some window's so let's create them.

make an another cube for the door, maybe you need to resize him so it will fit as a door.

move the door in your house were you want it like this:



now select first the house and then your cube and click on the subtract button in the "constructive solid geometry" menu.
your house now should look like this:


now make another 4 cube's for the windows. move them all in the proper position and extrude them "1 BY 1".( every time select first the house and then the cube for the window.)
your house will now look like this:


ok you finished your house but ofcourse it still is a little naked so we will have to add some texture.

i won't include my own texture's with this tutorial so you have to make some your own ore use the standart DeleD texture's.
if you want to add you own texture save them in
"my computer-program files-DeleD pro/lite-texture's-and then the map you want them in."
when you have done this go to the material editor which you will find here:




you will get this on your screen:


now go to the folder where you saved your texture's and move them in the scene materials as you can see in the previous screenshot.

when you have done this go to the face mode.


now select the face you want to add texture to. when you have your face selected go to materials in the right menu and select the texture you want.
you will see that your texture is now on your house.
like this:

then go back to the face mode and click on "Gen. UV - fit texture to size - ok"
now your texture has been fit to the face you selected.(if you dont want your texture like this you can move,rotate and scale it with those three buttons in the face mode.
do the same thing with all the other face's in your house and you are finished.

maybe add a light to your scene to make it look more real

how it looks finished:

I made a house but my main problem is textures... and can
you belive ive never ever used extrude. I made the whole
house with cubes.

[Mr.Fletcher]

I have textures... for the roof and stuff. But it's not seamless, it doesn't look good with tiled. Any easy tutorial on creating seamless tilable texture ?

[Daaark]

Nice.

But did you delete the proper polygons on some of those cubes? Like the ones over the doorway, you will get awful seams if you didn't nuke the side polygons there.

no i didnt delete any faces of my cubes.. what do you mean "Seams"? seamless texture? you can chose the face on which to apply the texture so i dont think it matters?

Gimp 2? What's that
