Simple Tricks for building homes

Lorelei Larsson was a little confused how I could build a house with only 12 prims and yet be so detailed. I rezzed the house and colored each prim a different color so that she could visually see how the house was constructed. I pulled out two prims for the posts out front to reveal that they were in fact, only 1 prim. The textures make the house look like it is made of a lot of prims as well. The windows were originally 1 texture with transparency. Lorelei understood after that and said I was using tricks. Yep. These are my tricks of the trade. From Dedric Mauriac via blogHUD.com
