Earlier this year I got the opportunity to learn a new modeling software, namely Blender.
After coming from Maya, working with Blender was like a breath of fresh air. I tried to make all the houses distinct but still with a feeling of familiarity between them.
I mainly focused on applying my skills from Maya inside of Blender, and played around a lot with all the modifiers and node editors.
I also focused a bit on making good looking renders.
There is still a lot to learn but I'm really happy with the results of these houses so far.
