Second Life House

I found making a house to be very interesting, time consuming, and something I enjoyed doing. When I first began, I really didn't have a plan of what I was going to do. I just figured whatever came to me as I was building would be what I would do.

As I started getting into it, I found that I really enjoyed building my house. However, I only wish I wasn't a perfectionist. Yes, I know it can be a good quality to have at times, but it took me about 4 hours to build this simple little house. I'll admit, a lot of the time was spent learning and figuring out how to do things.

After I had completed a very simple square house with a roof, I was not very happy with it and wanted windows and a small place to walk in. Since I didn't know how to create windows, I completely re-did the walls of my house. I made four walls around an opening for a window - this means that four walls made up just one wall. Then I copied it to make the opposite side. Then I did the same procedure to make a different window shape for my back wall. 

After completing my walls, I made a place to walk in and put a roof over it. After adding my floor, my structure was complete and just needed textures. Because I was not too fond of most of the textures, I know my house is a little tacky. I mostly just wanted to understand how everything worked.

The most time consuming portion, however, was trying to make my textures match each other after they had been stretched out. For the top triangle part on the outside of my house I just could not get it to match, so that is the one spot that looks a bit out of place. However, the rest of it I think I did a pretty good job trying to get it to match up.
