Build A Bunch Of Desert Houses

Hey. I'm training building desert themed stuff so I can fulfill my goal of getting into the Official™ Wynn™Craft™ Content Team™ (belyeve it!).

Can you guys give me feedback and suggestions on how to improve on those?

Spoiler: Exteriors

Spoiler: Interior of a single house.

Thanks for reading this thread

 

The intertiors could do some work by making it denser by adding more interior.

The exteriors though... oooooooh they are groovy

 

Overall your palate and sense of shaping and general design seems to be good in this build, but there is a lack of detail for the interior and exterior. First off with the exterior you have very clearly made a good effort to add in depth but there are some average sized open spaces with no detail. I'd suggest 1. Trying out patterns with fences, different colored blocks, etc. Or 2. Mix up the texture of the wall so it's not just 1 block. For example when I have a very long part of a build made from purely oak log, I mix it up with spruce log and stairs for some variation in texture. Also another cool trick is using glass panes to fit the biome. Maybe add some different colored panes for a sandy effect. This is similar to the trick used when building in a snow biome where you add blue and white panes for an icy, snowy effect. The fountain is of a very good design and looks well thought out as it helps put some life and color into the build. Lastly for exteriors that cave entrance has no interest or excitement to it. Try to mix in more colors and textures.
Now for the interiors. With the openness style for the interior you need to fill every wall and the roof with excitement so it doesn't feel to big, vacant, and boring. It should still be seen as 1 not as multiple different parts. You have done this well with the carpet, but the carpet is a bit boring. It looks a bit unnatural and formal for this setting. Next the table and book shelves. The table looks dull and boring try more color and add more textures. The scattered bookshelves work well with the larger bookshelf area in the back because they don't stand out too much. But that larger section should be more appealing to the eye and stand out among the other bookshelf areas. Lastly if your going to make it open... use up the space! A simple chandelier or shelf or work area can work.
Now early today I believe this is a build I saw on the Grian server so I'm gonna give you a few extra tips.
Work on your terrain. In my opinion terrain can make or break a build. Even if the structures are great, if the terrain doesn't fit or doesn't look good it will be ruined. Get very familiar with world edit and Vogel sniper. They will become your best friends.
You are clearly an exceptional builder, but have some learning to do when it comes to detail.
If you would like some examples in game feel free to notify me.

 

Thank you so much for that my man <3. I'll definetly change the glass to some panes, maybe white or yellow, idk which one yet. As for the table, I'm horrible at tables, so I'll probably just remove it and change it for something else. Once again, thank you for your tips .

 

No problem! I love being able to help people out with their builds. Especially people who try for the content team!

 

Looks good, but its a little on the bland side, I would try a little less sand stone.

 

try using banners instead of glass panes.

Make sure you compartmentalize the interiors of your homes so they are easier to detail.

don't use cobblestone walls in desert builds, the colors clash too much. Also why are they in the beams

Try not to over detail, and use smaller boxes to make up your house. That makes it more interesting than the big boxes you are making right now.

 

I tried using banners but it didn't look good. By compartmentalizing the houses do you mean dividing the rooms with walls or just making different things in the same large interior?

 

Making smaller rooms out of the big ones
