Oriental building tutorials?
I've been asked, "Are there any helpful tutorials around on making Japanese and Chinese traditional buildings?" [And thank you to everyone who's asked me, and everyone who's been so great about my Japanese series. :D ]
Well, the guy who first made oriental roof buildings for Sims2 is en7en. He made a really great little tutorial on building a 1-level home, which he's since replaced with a much more complicated and very long tutorial at the official Maxis site. You can go to it by clicking HERE - en7en's Ultimate tutorial.
The scaffolding method he outlines there is one I worked out on my own to build spaceships, but it's great to see him developing it too - we all owe much to the inspiration of daihtnaoz7.
en7en's tutorial is very detailed, and also starts with a wall.txt file edit that I don't recommend for builders who want lots of other people to enjoy downloading their work. If you want to start with the easier tutorial, PM me and I'll email it to you. I will be making my own tutorial soon, as part of a series called "Interesting Roofs", covering domes, thatch and pagodas, and my earlier tutorials on sheds and chicken coops.
[By the way, properly speaking a 'pagoda' is actually a multi-level tower, sort of an asian church spire!!! Homes etc just have curved-eave roofs.]
