The First Timber, The First Tale; A Rustic General Store for Wiyoh Falls

Описание: Welcome to the third episode of The Polygon Vault – Architecture Series!

This week, we're putting Wiyoh Falls on the map — with its very first building: a rustic general store that doubles as a roadside gas station and bait shop.

Modeled in Blender and brought to life in Unreal Engine, this wooden structure blends creaky charm with small-town function. Weathered walls, a covered porch, and a pair of gas pumps out front tell the story of a place where drivers can fuel up, fishermen can grab bait, and locals stop in for snacks, smokes, or small talk.

It’s not flashy — but it is full of character. The kind of spot that feels like it’s always been there, quietly waiting on the edge of a gravel road.

As always, this build focuses on clean topology, efficient UVs, and low-poly geometry inspired by retro 3D aesthetics — perfect for stylized games, animation, or any world-building project that values texture over gloss.
