Question 2 - Designing a whole Scenery:
I like to use the game Minecraft and combine it with drawing, because you can sketch it out on paper and if you like it,
build it and look at it in 3d. Also Perspective can be trained in Minecraft.
If most untrained people make a house in Minecraft, it might look ugly, like here
But I have seen People, who seem to use heavily Design-Principles, so that their Houses look just amazing! Like here
Of course on the internet you can find videos about how to design in Minecraft, but on this forum, maybe people know
the design principles for buildings and cities and city-sceneries without it being specifically about Minecraft
(but still applicable to the game also).
I would like to design Houses, that can be changed in color to fit into different surroundings.
For example, I already posted this harbour-warehouse.
In this picture it is surrounded by green gras and it looks very good.
But if I wanted to place this building into a desert, which is red and looks like this:
What parts of the building should I change? Which materials/Colors should I use, so the building looks still the same,
but fits better into the new (color-)surrounding?
I am thinking of this a bit like in the old Warcraft3-Game.
Two Players could both play the Humans. But one of them is the "red player" and the other is the "blue player".
They get the exact same set of buildings, but only small Parts are colored differently.
Depending on which color you choose as a Player, the buildings are slightly changed. Green,Yellow,Purple was all possible also.
Also I found this Harbour-scenery, that one Person on the Internet made and it looks amazing.
Of course I would not ever want to just copy the exact scenery, thats boring!
I want to design (in this case) my own Medieval-Harbour-Scenery.
How do I know where to place which Building and what Roof-Color to give it, so that the whole scenery looks hopefully amazing?
Which Roof should be made out of Copper, so it is green? Which Roof should be out of Bricks, so it is Red and which Roofs are
made of Wood, so they are brown?
Where to place a bigger Building, where to place a smaller one?
How to go about the whole Designing of such a scenery? (first on Paper, after that maybe inside the game)
