Christopher Rickett: Week 1 - Castle

Concept: The concept for this model was to make a kids style simple castle.  Then I started exploring the Rhino software and found a few tools that created a some cool effects. I took this simple castle, and gave it a more ominous defensive look with spikes that point outwards.

Technique:  the techniques used to create this model include both Boolean union and difference, as well as the Bend tool.  The Boolean tools were used to create the balconies in the castle towers as well as the cut outs in the outer wall section.  The bend tool was used to bend the cones to point outward, and then the polar array tool was used to wrap it around the various parts of the castle.

Materials:  The roof pieces were given a copper metal material and the castle itself is a cream colored stone as it might actually be if it were built in real life. The conical sections that are going up the sides of the castle and exterior wall have a tarnished scratched metal. I feel it gives it a slightly aged  look as well as look as though it has been through battle once or twice.
