Ok guys, I have an interesting issue to deal with. I guess you could call that one a problem of consistency.
Here's the thing: I'm currently working on eals_1:
Now, the issue is about the house itself. I thought, for accuracy's sake, that it would be best to refer to the field screens of the house in order to model it. The one below gives an accurate picture of the layout:
Now, if I try to replicate this layout on eals_1, I end up with something which is really off (the model is the wireframe, overlaying the reference image):
As you can see the section on the flank of the house (the kitchen, actually) is really misaligned.
So... is there a guideline about this kind of problem? There are different approaches:
- Draw the outside regardless of the inside layout, even if it means a distorted geometry, relying only on the original reference image.
- Revise the drawing to account for consistency between the inside and the outside of the house.
I'm partial to the second option, but I know the first approach has been somewhat prevalent in this project so far. Some advice (particularly from the mods) would be much appreciated.
I also think this kind of issue is bound to happen on numerous occasions. The most glaring example will be on the modelling of the church (the outside drawing is completely inconsistent in the original game, the versions of AC and CC are much better in that respect).
