Rectory or Church Buildings

dreamfarmer

There are a lot of awesome church models in the catalog, but what I've yet to see is anything that serves as the building where the rest of the church business happens. This could range from a rectory/vicarage/parsonage where the minister lived-- there's some great old ones out there that look like a cross between a church and a manor, made in the same style as the church. Alternately, it could just be a building in the same style as the church, maybe with a cloister-like thing that attaches to the sanctuary, for a larger church.

Or, somebody could just model a complete abbey. I'm not asking for much!

You could use almost any building that more or less matches the church you are using. For example: http://www.poserdirect.com/lowpolybildsposer.html

or there is a complete monastary here that might serve: http://www.daz3d.com/the-monastery

I _could_... but the more I think of it, the more I want an actual abbey. :) 

look at the pictures under a Google search for 'abbey'. The church part is quite grand. It's big. And most of the churches in the catalog are merely the shells of a sanctuary. I want a church that looks like a lot of people work there everyday. In terms of kitbashing, simply scaling up is problematic because while the windows get bigger in grander churches, humans still have to use the doors. I put something together by mashing the Curious Church and the Curious Schoolhouse together, but it's a mess that only works from certain angles. And think of the fun from a proper, complete abbey set. Amid farmland, it could be a home for an isolated religious order. Or it could be the heart of a bustling medieval town, or crowded in a contemporary city. It can even be a manor house. :)

Maybe you could use something like this to put one together: https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/architectural-exterior/historic/gothic-style-medieval-basilica-builders-kit

Or how about a Cathedral like this: https://www.creativecrash.com/3d-model/gothic-cathedral

You might look at this: St. Paul's Cloister

or maybe here: Church with grounds, etc

But, unless you want the entire Abbey for a set-up shot, I use the following:

You could always use this: http://www.daz3d.com/the-monastery for the living areas, and this http://www.daz3d.com/the-church-bundle or this http://www.daz3d.com/archard-s-ossuary for the church itself. It may take some creative retexturing to get them to match up, but it's doable.

TangoAlpha's http://www.daz3d.com/medieval-hall-and-garden should work well, too.
