Good work at wanting to improve. This isn't a great model for pushing your skills, as it's very simplistic and missing a lot of the tougher cases. The whole avoiding Ngon thing is really dependent on what you are modelling, they are actually totally fine on a flat surface. N-gons are mostly bad in cases where the plane is…
I build Blender tools with a focus on automation and production speed, primarily for game art workflows.

Example: Your problem isn't so much the models, but the materials/lighitng/composition of your scenes. Most models for games and environments (yes those that…
Thank you guys, it turned out somehow like this. I'll take a closer look at everything you've offered me (unfortunately, I've been working on it for the last few days) and explore the possibilities of optimized texturing. At the moment, each such 'module' contains a separate unique material plus decals. The result,…
