Buildings

Placing a building doesn’t take much time. But detailing is what makes a building fit in.

Take your time decorating the building to make it feel part of the world.

Fitting a building to the terrain link

Height link

If the terrain isn’t flat underneath the building. Make sure the building asset connects to the terrain everywhere. Most building assets extend further into to ground to account for this.

Foliage link

Grass and foliage likes to creep next to walls.

Clear foliage on paths people would walk.

Windows and Doors link

Buildings aren’t orientated randomly. A window will almost never point to another wall.

Doors should lead somewhere. Doors have pathways connect them to surrounding points of interest.

Prefab Toolkit link

The prefab toolkit can spawn prefab buildings from the base game library.
