4/12 or 5/12 roof on ranch style home?

[SkullMesaRanch]

Does CA make a roof look flatter than it really is in 3D?   My designed roof was 4/12 but now I think it would look better if I went with a 5/12 roof.  I don't want the house to look like a manufactured home.  Here are some screen captures of the house/garage and barn with a 4/12 roof and a 5/12 roof for comparison.  What would you do?

i think it's just the angle you are looking at it, try to bring your camera up higher.

Yup, that's Perspective for ya!

 

Changing the Field of View can reduce that effect, too.

Ex: 30 vs 90 (default is 55)

That made a big difference.  These screen shots were taken with a 10 degree field of view.  The 5/12 roof looks too big from this view.  Will someone give there opinion on the 4/12 versus 5/12 roof look?

4/12= manufactured homes in my mind. I try and avoid that pitch, except for the exquisite modular homes I do , because any higher wont make it under the bridges when it is on a truck 

 

but your 5:12 does look like a lot of roof.  I might raise the heel hight or change the pitch over the deck so it is broken up

but I prefer gables personnaly, so take my opinion with a grain of salt

 

you could put some skylights in there to break it up

 

or hip the ends for less roof
