Concept
My original castle was inspired by the Weisman Art Museum with its use of partial cones and cylinders. Needless to say these designs were over-ambitious as a beginner to modeling. After a few iterations, I learned to compromise with Rhino to create something simple and interesting.
Model Techniques
This model exercised editing, rotating, and positioning polysurfaces. After plenty practice, I began quickly switching between viewports and getting a feel for thinking in three dimensions. ArrayPolar is a fun command that I played with in every castle attempt. This project gave me a solid introduction to the various objects in rhino.
Materials
Earthy materials like porcelain, red granite, and a paint matte gray were used for the buildings. Metals including copper, steel, and gold were used to add detail. Ruby was used for the rings, and everything sits on a glass base.
