   * Style: clean to start with. Detail will be added with 'decals'.
   * Easy to handle. This includes that it shouldn't take too much time to create, expand or enhance it with things like collision detection bounding boxes.
+  * Every building should be accessible by the player.

 ===== Scene setup =====
-{{ :assets:modeling:theyard.jpg?300|Some building modules: a basic house box, some windows and doors an one hell of a big fountain!}}
-The buildings are created in one file, called 'The Yard'. The advantage of this is that whenever a new 'module' is created, it can be copied several times without having to merge between different files. A disadvantage is that this file will become too big to manage easily. To solve this problem, old buildings are deleted from the file, so only the newest buildings remain. Besides these, The Yard contains a copy of every interesting 'module' that can be re-used in other buildings, for example a balcony, a window with flowerbed, ...

-Every building is saved apart in two different files:
-  * A file wich contains a fully editable version of the model.
-  * A file in wich the building is attached into a single object.
-This second file is necessary to create the scene wich contains the full city. This scene contains mostly xref-objects. This way of working provides an efficient RAM-usage when working on The City.

-The City itself consists of about 20 different buildings, wich are mirrored, rotated an slightly edited so that no-one notices the fact that most of them are copies.\\
-Besides the buildings, The City contains some barrels and crates to give a little more detailed feeling without putting too much effort in it. At the moment, it also contains some basic (very bad, handmade) terrain. In time, this will be replaced by the terrain created in 'The Wizards Editor', but for testing purposes, it comes in very handy.

 {{ :assets:modeling:house001.jpg?200|The Blacksmith's house}}
 ==== The Blacksmith's house ====
-The Blacksmith's house provides -as you probably can derive from it's name- housing to the blacksmith. Basically, it's a normal house with some sort of shed besides it, wich is the blacksmith's workshop. The building contains three levels wich are all accesible by the player. This house sets the style for the whole city. It's inspired by some of the buildings that appear in the BBC serie 'Merlin'.

 ==== A HouseRow ====
-In the beginning, my goal was to rapidly create a lot of buildings in a short amount of time. To do so, this houseRow was created. It's based on the Blacksmith's house, with just some changes in window and bearing configuration. Un fortunately, the buildings aren't accesible because of poor measurements made by the architect wich results into decapitation onto entering the building. This building will probably be a placeholder until a better version of it is created.

 ==== The Bakery ====
-The Bakery is one of my personal favorites. It's a small building wich consists of two floors. The groundfloor contains the actual shop. A nice detail is the oven wich can be seen from this floor. The upper floor is for storaging purposes. It has a pully to transport bunches of grain and other stuff. On the outside, there's a working table and the oven's entrance.

 ==== The Guildhouse ====
-This moderatly large building forms the headquarters of the local guild. It also provides shelter to guild members and guests. Inside, there's a large hallway wich connects all the floors. The top floor will be containing the bedrooms, other floors will be stuffed with a dining room, some desks, a little library perhaps? Also to be added are some huge flags at the facade with the guild's logo.

-The Tavern, a place of drinking, singing and house of many travellers.\\
-The Tavern is a building wich introduces a lot of new building modules: for example little towers, large windows and tablets with flowerbeds! The top floor has some bedrooms and an entrance to an outdoors walkway, wich might be nice for sightseeing purposes. In The City, the tavern is located at the market place.

 {{ :assets:modeling:house00601_withsky.jpg?200|The Stone House}}
 ==== The Stone House ====
-For citizens who fancy bricks rather than clay, the stone house provides an excellent housing. It consists of two floors (who are currently inaccesible because of the lack of stairs) and has a chimney wich comes in handy in winter. The texture might be replaced one day, because it contains already lighting information. Special about this house is the roof: it's flat on one side and curved on the other and has some roof-windows, wich provide an amazingly unexpected capability of copiing the building without this beiing too noticeable.

-==== The Market Stall====
-What good it is having a market without stalls? It isn't! So this basic market stall was created. Different versions of it have different goods for sale. Little crates and tables make sure the goods can be properly showed to customers.

 The Merchants house consists of a living area, where a dining room, living room and bedrooms are to be located, and a store-area. The store is build into the facade and consists of a large table to expose the merchandise. It's inspired by the garmentmaker-stores of assassins creed II.
