Classic HD research

Since I now use scorched village atlas for Decay animations, I decided I could as well burn down some buildings (sorry, villagers). Proportions are almost identical but I nudged some debris that would otherwise float in the air if the structure was on a slope.
Cant wait for unburned ones too lol

Looks gorgeous! Honestly, I've been looking for some high-quality ruins for a long time, and here they are; finally, I found them!

And yeah, I totally agree with @YourArthas , It would be very interesting to see village buildings in your own interpretation :peasant-thumbs-up:

Good luck in your work and inspiration :peasant-smile:

Another illustrative comparison. Tweaked the texture a bit towards more contrast as it looked a little washed out.

Scorhed Inn. I decided not to bother with those ruined tiles from the original - they look a little weird and the unburnt version of the inn actually has straw roof which burn away completely. I think the only reason Blizzard went with that texture is to save on the roof beams (and I can totally understand that, it was a little nightmare to place them all)

Argh, still had to redo the thing, my perfectionism just wouldn't let me leave it be :ugly:
Also, ruined the facade just a bit more...

Lol love you for it. Kinda like my obsession. But I suck at burned buildings so I can’t obsess over much.

I’d get rid of chimneys like original(nothing important since it is like one click and delete lol)

I guess that's the prime reason we're both doing this, heh. Everybody sucks at burned buildings, they're a pain to create.

You mean the clay parts? It's possible of course but then I would need to make the actual chimney holes:
