05 Quoining the corners
The quoin stones started off as a box, which I then extruded,
bevelled and scaled to create the front block detailing. The
blocks were then alternated in size to create the necessary
pattern. These blocks needed to share the same colour as
the main stucco finish, so I copied the stucco material and
added a rough stone texture to the Bump map slot. Box
UVW mapping was used. For the corner stones, the objects
were instanced and rotated. The reverse joints were
instanced and mirrored e.
06 Constructing the chimneys
The chimney construction was pretty straightforward,
though slightly different from the average design. The
chimneys were created fairly fast by blocking them out with
basic objects, such as Chamfer boxes, cylinders and
renderable splines. Once massed, vertices were moved to
Edit Poly. An Arch & Design material was applied with a
Bump map in order to simulate stucco. This material also
had the Round Corners option applied, saving me from
having to chamfer all of the edges f.
07 French doors
Making sure that the distance from the camera was kept in
mind, the doors were created as simple, yet effective
objects. The hole was cut into the wall via Edit Poly, then the
doorframe and detailing were added with different size
renderable splines. The doors themselves started as boxes
and the holes cut using, once again, Edit Poly. The hole
edges were then chamfered and boxes with the
windowpanes inserted. Chamfer boxes were used for the
shutters, box mapping added and an Arch & Design material
applied. The material has a Diffuse and Bump map and both
maps were given a Blur of .01 g.
