Like display pictures.
The model - to be used eventually with the nursery rhyme project - is fairly simple; lots of flat surfaces that lend themselves to polygons. I started with lots of primitive shapes - all cubes, I think - and extruded them or scaled them into shape. A few things, like the roof and lamp were modified by pulling and merging vertices. The fence posts were made simply through scale and duplication, although I am still having problems when trying to group them together: I still haven’t figured whether this is an oversight on my part, or Maya being stupid. A boolean operation was handy for making the doorway
Textures still baffle me, which is why only one is shown here, but hopefully I will be able to change the material of the building to something more suitable in the near future.
