Gravity Falls Mystery Shack WIP

KrissyH

So I'm building the Mystery Shack from Gravity Falls. I'm 2 days in and trying to be as accurate as possible even though the house changes so much in each episode. Thought I'd create this post as I progress through it. Feedback is much appreciated. Thanks for looking

I'd mess up the logs a little bit. They're really straight and even right now.

KrissyH

Thank you, I'll see what I can do with the logs. Right now I'm working on the roof, added tiles to break it up a little bit and trying to add the grass but I'm not sure I'm going about this the right way. Any suggestions?

Hey @KrissyH , your piece is coming along well! I'm coming from the 'How the F%&# do you model this' thread, so I'd like to share some ideas on how to tackle the moss covered roof.

I believe you're headed in the right direction, but I'd just add more geometry onto the moss and 'tuck' in the edges so you dont get sharp intersecting cuts with the roof. I'll try and illustrate that with this example - If I were creating the moss, I'd take it into zbrush to sculpt it and zremesh

Ah thank you I didn't even think of zBrush I'll give it a try

Got the grass details in now deciding if I still want to have the blades of grass sticking out.

Started adding some paint details. I've never really done this style of texturing so it's going to take me awhile

Created a hand painted tiling texture for the roof, I think it needs some variation though

So I hated the roof texture the day after I made it and made a completely new one. I'm much happier with this

Loved Gravity Falls!!!  Keep going

I'd consider upping the poly count of the roof.

Another seamless hand painted texture done

I was thinking the same thing I just need to figure out the best way to do it without ending up with way too many polys 

KrissyH

I increased the polys on the main roof just need to do the secondary roofs and the bottom row...I think I need a better contrast between the wall logs and the porch boards

Got the windows and doors painted, put a placeholder on the metal roof will add more detail later. Just need to get the signs done and the chimney, pipe and roof ledge and repaint the grass too. Then have a few more objects to add to the roof (weather vein, and speaker). I will add all the loose objects after I'm done with that.

Everything has been textured. Now on to phase 2, all the stuff around the house and a 2 more things on the roof.
