Modular Japanese Town House Example Maps: MS_Machiya_3
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).

House Example
Today’s work for my Modular Japanese House project. I wasn’t totally satisfied with the previous version of this house (a small house, desalinated to guests and situated in a garden), so I remade it.

It took some texturing and modeling work, but finally I have dango and yakitori and some typical Asian grill for cooking in my Modular Japanese House project. Unfortunately, I cannot eat 3D models, but they look yummy 🙂
