Author Topic: [H] Application  (Read 944 times)

Yo, I've made a build that I believe has potential. I'm using the build as an application to clan Height.
I'm making this topic short and sweet, no long descriptions, just the build itself.
Enjoy.

Overview





The inside view of the staircase leading up to the top.








Who is this mysterious blue man with the mustache?
Anyways, Discuss.

Well I'm clan member since it was out so I think I'm allowed to say Yes/No.

idk.

Yes.

The lighthouse is really awkward. It looks like it'd fall apart in the wind. The stones also look like they were thrown around and scattered all over the place. Overall, the build looks pretty rushed.

me no like

Hmm.. Really? I never noticed that. I was going for a random style with the stones of the mountain, so they might seem scattered, but I did think about where I was going to plant them.

Understood. Thanks for your opinion.

EDIT: Also, just to keep in mind, I was aiming for a more classic approach of a lighthouse, yes I do realize there are different styles and such. I'd be willing to remake the lighthouse if it was disliked by more people, and possibly try a different style with it.

On a more serious note, the lighthouse doesn't really make sense with the terrain. It looks like it was just plopped on top of a normal hill in the middle of nowhere. This is mostly due to the terrain of the hill. The hill is overall really really free of any irregularities. While some stuff is scattered, as a whole it is just an even bump. In reality, or at least in cool fantasy, the hill would be better replaced by a low-grade slope that ends in a cliff down to the water.

stones are too scattered. they should continue to build up to higher stuff instead of being placed in odd positions a couple bricks off or so from bigger baseplates.
also, the bottom water part is too square / rushed
if you can fix these couple of things and post new pictures i can accept and help you more
and yea some neat cliffs or other things would also benefit the build, even some slight vegetation.

The lighthouse doesn't really look like a circle, try replacing the two out 2x5 with 3x5, then the next one in with a 2x5. It will make it look more circular instead of hexagonal.

Other than that, I like the terrain.

The terrain looks too repetitive.

Actually, I've conjured up an idea that I believe will look very nice. Will update this thread when finished.
