Build I Gave Building Farmlands A Shot

This is what I made over the course of 5-ish hours without internet (damn thunderstorms). I know it doesn't look like much... But I'd love to hear you guys' thoughts and opinions on it. and i totally didnt make it look like wynn on purpose. but if you guys want i can post pictures w/ the wynn pack on huehue

Spoiler: Farmlands

Spoiler: Outdated Pictures

THESE PICTURES ARE OUTDATED SORTA
The House on the Hill


Fishing Hole


Sun-kissed Lands

Spoiler: Wynn Pack Images

The Overview (as of right now)


The Crop Fields

Spoiler: New stuff/Minor edits go here

New stuff in this picture:
-Much cleaner view (?)
-APPLE TREES FTW
-A watchtower (not finished obviously)

 

although it looks nice, try making custom trees.

 

I moderately like the feel of it, but throughout the pictures, I was hoping to get a better glimpse of the building/scene in general. The views you provided are rather immersed into the land, where all I can see is a lot of green. Providing a better view of the farmland and the building will allow them both to compliment each other.
I agree with kimjdav also. Custom trees will do it wonders. :)

May we have a more semi-birdseye view of it (if that makes sense)? I'd love to see what you have on display. :)

 

Got it. Will start practicing custom trees soon™.

I haven't built anything much so far, so that's why I'm using trees to hide my shame. Although I know what you're looking for, it's going to take time for me to come up with something that will compliment the buildings. I'll add more pictures as I progress. :)

 

the land itself is rather flat in my opinion.

 

Sunflower Plains is the answer to that question.

 

I'd recommend trying your hand at some terraforming. Although it tends to be very time consuming

 

Will do.
although technically before I started building all of those hills that you see in the pictures weren't there and I just placed random blocks everywhere to make it look like hills. :v

 

needs shaders

 

As much as shaders are/can be gorgeous, I think it's best to be without them when in a trial building stage. Shaders should only really be used at the final presentation as they can make it hard for an eye to judge the detail for feedback mode.

 

y dont u go run your pc with shaders and see how laggy it is 8)

 

Added more stuff! Am now working on a whole new part of the fields, where horse stables, animal pens, and farms are.

 

I like the roof etc but the depth isn't enough. I was expecting more and try making custom trees as said above.
Also if you're playing on 1.9 the caravan is to big use trapdoors for wheels (they dont need a base block anymore)

 

Will take down notes about this. Hopefully this will look better once I finish it and revamp some stuff.

 

add cats.
always add cats.

(jk looks good)

 

Ehhhh 67/100, I'd give you detailed tips, and I know I've said this in other threads but the build is in a way too early stage, before I can judge your terrain you have to make terrain, and I'd love to see a more broad view, I know this because I've made the same mistake before, as builders we like to take pictures of the best parts instead of the most content. I know it's been said before but make some custom trees, we can't help you get better at them unless you give us a starting point.

 

Added some minor stuff to the land. I felt like the forest-y kind of feel I was going for, didn't really match the plains feel. So I 'nerfed' it a bit, and to me it looks a bit cleaner now. Still working on custom trees and getting proportions right. However I think that 1.10's structure blocks are going to make things easier to do stuff, but I don't wanna risk getting a corrupted save. So I'm not sure how I'm going to do this...

 

Love the lanterns! The pond looks especially nice! If I should suggest anything, I'd say maybe have some trees that are larger than the others/raise the canopy =)

 

Working on trees now. A bit new to custom trees, so I need some tips and maybe more criticizing. Here's my first tree:


Any thoughts?

 

d'aw, that's a lil cutie. :3 For trees I'd recommend having a look at Grian's Youtube channel. He has a couple of good tree tutorials on there using voxel sniper. :) I've been messing around with it myself. xD The stuff is surprisingly fun, and ends up with a nice atmospheric result.
