CULTURE

It only took a week to make, but AutomailED’s Red Riding Hood-inspired build is an amazingly evocative creation. The small woodland scene has a tremendous sense of place, and character - both alluringly beautiful and yet wild enough to have a hint of danger.
AutomailED制作的，受到小红帽故事启发的建筑 ，虽然仅用一周完成制作，但它却不失为一个令人惊叹的、令人回味无穷的创作。小树林的场景富含了自身场景的感觉与特点 —— 拥有着诱人般的美丽，如此野外之地也足够孕育出一些危险之物。

The details are what make it for me, and easy to miss at first glance - the train of bees emerging from a nest which hangs from a high branch; the luridly coloured spider dangling from a cobweb, the mushrooms clustering among the roots; the thick grasses which rise up around the path, creating a slightly uneasy sense of claustrophobia.
细节是那些专门为我们制作的、但一眼看去却很容易忽略的东西 —— 蜜蜂从高挂在树上的蜂巢中簇拥而出；色彩斑斓的蜘蛛悬挂在蜘蛛网上，蘑菇拥簇生长在树根周围；路边则是拔地而起的浓密草从，制造了一种幽闭恐惧症的轻微不安感。

Grandma’s house itself is a neat little bit of architecture, with its curved doorway, stained glass and distinctive brickwork. But looking up is my favourite part: AutomailED has created a canopy of convincing natural beauty, dappling the scene below with light and shade.
奶奶的房子本体是一个简洁的建筑，有着弧形出入口，彩色玻璃和与众不同的砖墙。抬头看，我最喜欢是上方的部分，AutomailED创造的树冠富含了令人信服的自然之美，将下面的场景以光影装饰。

How did the build come about?
这种建造效果是如何完成的呢？

“Basically, I was looking for a textbook under my desk,” explains AutomailED. “I just found a book about this tale named Little Red Riding Hood. I’ve liked that story ever since I was a kid, so I thought, ‘Why not make it in Minecraft?’”
“最开始，我在我的桌底寻找一本课本，” AutomailED解释道。“我就找到了一本关于这个故事的书，《小红帽》。我从小就喜欢这个故事，所以我想，为什么不在Minecraft中把它建造出来？

Why not indeed!
为什么不呢！

“The hardest parts of the build to get right were the house and the girl,” says AutomailED It's pretty difficult to [match the] scale for the house, the girl and the forest size. First time I made the house, it was too big for the forest, so I had to remake it all over again and make the girl almost the same size as the door in the house. And not to forget, it was difficult to choose the right colour for the house!”
“建筑中最难弄合适的部分是房子和女孩，”AutomailED说。“做到房子、女孩和森林的尺寸相匹配真的特别难。我第一次做房子情况是，房子相对森林来说太大了，所以我不得不重新做了一遍又一遍，让女孩差不多和房子中的门一样大。还有别忘了，为房子选择合适的颜色也很难。”

AutomailED reveals the secret behind the glorious canopy of leaves: “I made the leaves with oak leaves, green wool, lime stained glass and yellow stained glass. I used the stained glass so that the sun ray could go through it, and make it natural, and I added some fallen leaves too as the effect from the wind breeze, made from lime stained clay, green wool and green stained clay.”
AutomailED 透露了光辉灿烂的树冠背后的秘密：“我使用了橡树树叶、绿色羊毛、黄绿色染色玻璃和黄色染色玻璃制作了这些树叶。使用染色玻璃，这样阳光就能穿过它了，让树叶显得更加自然，我也添加了一些就像被微风影响的落叶，由黄绿色染色粘土、绿色羊毛和绿色染色粘土制成。”

Using a mixture of unusual materials, and in this case with different transparencies, can make all the difference to a build, giving the impression of even greater detail than the eye can perceive. A handy tip for realist builders or those looking to bring fairy tales to life!
使用不寻常材料的混搭，在这种情况下再加上不同的透光度，能让建筑变得与众不同，给人的印象甚至比亲眼所见还详尽。对现实主义建筑者或那些想把童话故事变成现实的人来说，这是一个不错的借鉴！
