Garry's Mod Architecture

[Ashley]

Hey guys;

My past 16 hours spent playing Garry's Mod were spent designing and building a house - this idea was brought upon me by viewing countless houses and "forts" people posted on YouTube that consisted out of nothing but a few pointless boxes that one could barely call a house

I haven't colored, materialized and furnitured this house yet but the basic design is now done; and without coloring it's easier to see how I constructed it - it's based on a beam/cuboid skeleton with panels and windows - next I'll be adding is a music system throughout the whole house

This house currently counts 580 props

Nice work, looks much better than other posted houses/forts.

Pretty nice =) I like the top floor

[Botervloot]

Nice work.

[QTesla]

Cool. The only issue was the stairs.

[EmRA]

Holy flying fuck, amazing!

[Clavus]

That's pretty nice. Did you ever map in Hammer or anything?

[Ashley]

No never but I've made countless maps using the Unreal Editor, both for GOTYE and with UE 2.0

You would do well in hammer

[Ashley]

I'll update the topic once I've updated the house with graphics and stuff; I mean Gmod can only do so much compared to map editors which to me is the whole fun of it

[Ashley]

The making of part 1

The making of part 2

The making of part 3

[Mr. Darkness]

Damn you would really do good with mapping in hammer. Your house style is epic.

[Ashley]

The making of part 4

Materialized product

[Mr. Darkness]

Bravo.

Would really fit zs.

Well done!

[Ashley]

I've never played zs, I'm friendless so I spent my hours as a hermit building pointless stuff in single player

oh yeah don't mind the little blue cube; that's a small in-game Ipod I made with wiremod lol; it plays 6 songs that you can preprogram; I spawn it with advanced dupe whenever I'm working on large projects for some music

[Mr. Darkness]

Well you should play it once

All the house maps problay suck. Your house construction would beat all those house maps. I like it!

..Nvm we accept friendless ppl too (but there shouldnt be kiddies in this case then. They are too annoying with their complaining about the game and their progress in-game).

ANYYWAYYY, Nice work, looks better with colour.

Pretty nice, although it looks like it'd lag when you walk through. Did you simply weld it or did you use an alternative? Or did you freeze it?

[Ashley]

nothing lags about this that's just the capturing rate of the video; everything (really every single prop of 580 props) is welded to at least 4 skeleton beams; no-collided with each single proximity prop - and every single prop was manually precision welded with different values for custom paneling; none of it is Easy Welded

The combination of multi-welding, easy precision welding and no-colliding makes this a virtually lagfree house; I can even unfreeze the whole building and it would still stand without any bugs or lag

Wait, I wasnt talking about you!

[Chikennugget1]

Nice house you've done here, but if you want to put it on ZS you'll have to rebuild it using Hammer

[Ashley]

sorry i dont know hammer and i dont have it
