3D Map Sketch?

Thats cool GP! This type of thing(with a few splashes of color) would be a very nice addition here, especially if you did a few more(sans the yard part).

In reality if and when I create 3D models of structures for top-down objects, I would do photorealistic textures, not hand-drawn versions. This was completely an experiment. Though to carry the experiment to it fullest extent, I may throw on a splash of color before I finish this, but that's about it.

Normally when I create top down models of structures, I don't go to the trouble of creating walls with doors and windows. I usually try to create the roofs only, then place a cube beneath to simulate proper height over the ground to achieve a realistic shadow.

I actually referenced some 17th century New England home plans before I started this project, to see if I could create something similar.

Anyway, I'll throw on some color and see what it looks like.

Despite being a user of 3D, I'm not a fan of isometric maps - just something I need to know and understand, not necessarily use.
