Making of: The Old Fox

Another very interesting urban modelling making of, this time however of an individual building, can be found at the excellent 3D Total website, by Sandro Ghezzani. According to Sandro his influences on this particular piece of work was American, English and Norwegian architecture revivals: neo-gothic and neo-classic.

Being impressed by these styles, he began to do some research using the Internet as well as using some reference pictures from books. After that he came up with some sketches which would be the starting ground for the modelling. So the Old Fox cottage was born...

What is particularly interesting with this is that this tutorial/making of focuses on a single-building project thus highlighting a lot of the smaller, finer details sometimes lost in similar project overviews that cover whole scenes... Well worth a look if you decide to model a building of any era or style in a manual way!
