Build Process

Here are a collection of screenshots (some with descriptions) that show the build stages in order of old to most new.

A very basic test made before the comp, just something to work off in my head.

The first stages of the build, however I decided to work top to bottom. This ended up being a mistake later on.

Removed the top cabin and fixed some proportions. I also got the wood texture sorted out.

The second attempt, started over and made a slightly darker texture for the wood. Working bottom to top should have been more obvious.

More woodwork.

Added the background.

Added the base for the cabin alongside texturing for the support beams.

A method I used to generate grass. As shown with glass and wool, the grass length is determined by light, while the grass density is determined by moisture. I then coded a brush using Axiom's Script Brush feature to combine these factors into "real" grass.

Working on the Frog Easter Egg.

Finished the base for the cabin to rest on.

Some props, including the Snail.

Plywood made with Voroni and Simplex noise.

Started work on the cabin.

Added slanted planks for the walls and added support for the roof.

Finished the roof, added railing added a pulley and added a chimney.

Started work on the interior and added windows.

Added nails to the roof and the rest of the build.

Added more props.

Added a TV antenna.

Added further texturing to wooden surfaces using a custom script which detects edges and provides the appropriate stair direction and type.

Redid the windows as the scale was off.

Screenshot with the background added.

Added further texturing to the walls and added gas canisters.

Redid the interior to match the correct scale.

Moved the bed and added a stove connected to the gas canisters, drawers and a wood burner.

Added an attic entrance.

Added a ladder prop and changed the gas canister colour to red.

Added further interior decorations.

Fixed more incorrectly scaled parts of the build, including the railing and pulley.

Even further interior decor.

Added a log pile to the western side of the cabin.
