Tuscany Hill Village Terrain Build
The Basic House
I’m going to need a few houses to flesh out the village. I plan to create a modular approach of two different sizes. One smaller house, being 4cm wide and a larger one being 5cm wide. I’ll create a number of different floors for both which will allow different height buildings.
I’m aiming for the sort of look that you can see on the left side of this street:
You can see the variation of height and facade on the street sceneI’ve designed a simple approach to ensuring each floor remains in place when stacked. A 1cm long, 2mm high ridge along the top of each side wall will interlock with a corresponding gap in the base of the upper floor. You can see the ridges on the top of the walls in the first picture below
To create each floor, I make a box and hollow out the middle. To add doors and windows, I punch holes through in the relevant places, as in the first picture below.
Doors and windows and then made separately and created in blocks that are the same size as the holes punched through the walls. This allows me to create a number of different, interchangeable doors and windows to mix up the architecture but without having to recreate them every time.
In the third picture, you can see that slotting the doors and windows into the holes creates the finished floor. The CAD software merges everything together.
Repeating the process a number of times allows you to build a number of different styles of floors which can be built into houses. Below is a mock up of what the finished houses will look like
