This house is inspired by a real machiya I’ve found on Google maps. Located in Kanazawa, Ishikawa prefecture, this house is in reality a hotel, or more precisely a traditional Japanese inn ( 旅館 – ryokan).

This house example is a restaurant. The exterior is inspired by the restaurant next to the museum I took as inspiration for MS_Machiya_1, as you can see in this photo. For the interior of this example I didn’t take the real restaurant interior, as I did in other maps, but I invented one using various source of inspiration from photos on pinterest and video games.

Today, I will present another house of the 19 pre-built example houses you find in the pack MJH Modular Japanese Town House we offer on the Unreal Marketplace, the one included in the map MS_Dependence_1.

Of course, you can also build from scratch your own houses. Please refer to the documentation of the pack. Continue reading “Modular Japanese Town House Example Maps: MS_Dependence_1”
I’ve decided to take a little time to present each of the 19 pre-built example houses you find in the pack MJH Modular Japanese Town House we offer on the Unreal Marketplace. These example maps are created using the houses I have built for the demo of the pack and are meant to show what you can accomplish with the assets of MJH, but you can also use them as they are or with modifications in your levels. That’s why I want to spend sometime speaking of each house.
Today, let’s see MS_Machiya_1. Continue reading “Modular Japanese Town House Example Maps: MS_Machiya_1”
In this post I will present the props contained under “A_PropsInt/Stairs“.
As the folder name suggests, this folder contains stairs.
