You guys re killin’me with being so nice…
here, I’ll go first... Things I don’t like and think need improvement about the texturing are numbered to follow what's on the image:
 

1.                  Roof is a nice texture, but it doesn’t look aaanything like the roof tile that goes with a wooden cabin.

2.                  roof supports are too thick, and need to be a bit darker. Even a freshly painted ones seem to pick up dirt pretty quickly, there’s too much ambient and diffusion. The wood grain is in the wrong direction, by 90deg and little too car

3.                  Window molding, if it’s painted wood, the wood grain is too coarse, if it’s weathered wood, the coloring and texturing needs to be different.

4.                  Chimney’s, I wanted the look of weathered dinged up copper, but managed to get the coloring and the look of “wet poop”. The long downspout looks better.

5.                  balcony railing should look different from the window molding, the house needs some decorative visual detail. I just got too lazy and clumped it all together.

6.                  The wood scaffolding structure need to look older and more weathered then the house wood. It’s made out of lower grade wood then the cabin siding.

7.                  texture grain id in a wrong direction, but since I modeled it as a same piece as the rest of the downslide, I can’t remap it without messing up the rest. Need to edit the model.

8.                  There should be a barrel or a pile of something at the bottom of the slide, not a bale of straw.

9.                  This should be a muddy cobblestone. In spite of an interesting looking texture, it doesn’t look much like a muddy worn down cobblestone.

10.              windows need work, some transparency with a drapery visible inside would be nice.

11.              main entry… burls should be on main door panels, and long grain on connecting raised panels. It’s all over the place. Material groupings on the model got mixed up.

12.              Straw bales need little more grain and color variety.

Main house texture, even though I like it is too even, little too sterile.
So, it just might be back to the drawing board.

It's quite possible I am my own worst critic???
