This is because I need it to be low polygon, and any Boolean joins will cause a massive cluster of small polygons.

As you see I made triangles, not quads, as quads can be a disaster if one of the vertices \u00a0is misaligned, causing a torn polygon that might render really ugly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/4eyes.code66.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/l02house05.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6710\" title=\"l02house05\" src=\"http:\/\/4eyes.code66.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/l02house05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"132\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now the roof is done and both sides are adjusted manually to imperfection, it should not look perfect.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/4eyes.code66.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/l02house06.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6711\" title=\"l02house06\" src=\"http:\/\/4eyes.code66.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/l02house06.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"521\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I add a ceiling\/attic floor, mostly to cover the gap between the roof and the wall.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/4eyes.code66.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/l02house07.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6712\" title=\"l02house07\" src=\"http:\/\/4eyes.code66.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/l02house07.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"392\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now I snatch another log, preparing to build the upper side walls.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/4eyes.code66.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/l02house09.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6714\" title=\"l02house09\" src=\"http:\/\/4eyes.code66.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/l02house09.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"508\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The tricky part here was to adjust the ends so they didn&#8217;t poke through the roof but still made some good wall coverage.
