Thanks a lot Thomas!

Im gonna scale the texture down and see what becomes.

And no, it's no part of a greater plan. Not that I know of this very moment
anyway. :) Just started with a box to get a look at the stonewall texture.
And then I go, what would a door look like on this wall. And thereafter,
what kind of window would fit to this... etc, etc..

Would be cool to make a animation sweeping through a medieval village
though... Hehe.. But my god the render times! :O

About the roof, staying "in character", a grass roof wouldnt do for the rich
I guess. (*cough* And I have tried and errored it already... *cough*) So I
guess some kind of thatch should be suitable, yes. ;)
