Description
Follow my other prop if you want extra similar looking assets. --> https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3015596494
=========================
A small prop hut based off residential architecture found in rural Central Asia and the Middle East, where it can serve anywhere from a shed to a living space.

The hut is made of mud brick or adobe (also called saman), a building material common for the regions. The brick is also covered in more clay mixture. You can see elements of the brick exposed. The house has flat straw roof with decals creating the overhanging straw roof effect.

Mud bricks are created using elements of clay soil materials, mixed with ground up straw and manure from domesticated animals. They are often used for building due to their simplicity and cheapness, as well as in situations where wood cannot be used or is absent, thus in dry, continental areas.

While mudbrick houses are most often seen in the Muslim world, they are also encountered in regions such as, but not limited to the North Caucasus, Transcaucasia, South Russia, Ukraine, Moldova and China.

This is my second model, so i have used some better techniques when creating it, however it is still far from perfect. You can see hints of texture seams on the facade of the building, however i think it worked towards to creating that rural effect. I improved the roof from my previous asset by using a seamless texture as well as adding some decals to create that messy straw effect. The tris count is also surprisingly lower than my previous asset (which is smaller in scale)

The prop is small (8.4x5x3.5m) or roughly 2x1 in-game tiles.

Called "Traditional House 2" in game. Use Find-it to see it.

Other more detailed props / buildings may come soon.
=========================
I noticed that there is a severe lack of Middle-Eastern/Central-Asian assets on the workshop. Perhaps its due to little interest in these regions, or there may be no content creators familiar with them. But if no one else was going to do it, I decided to create such themed assets myself. Given I have no prior experience to 3d modelling the progress will be slow. So if you have any suggestions or feedback feel free to comment.
If you are willing to do more than that, I suggest you start creating similar assets yourself, especially if you have 3d modelling knowledge or are familiar with the architecture of the regions. Given the complete absence of such assets, any new addition, whether it is high or low quality would be a great contribution.

I am planning to make more similar props in addition with some brick walls and gates in the coming days or weeks. If I am still motivated by then, I will aim to recreate some real historical structures of similar theme, like Madrasahs caravan-sarays, Minarets and city walls/gates. If you are interested in such assets follow me to get updated when I post a new one, or leave comments here giving suggestions or feedback on asset creation. I am still not very familiar with blender.
