Concept: My theme for this semester for this class is going to be board games and so I based my castle on the board game Trouble. This was a game I played throughout my childhood and I remember it being one of my most favorite games in the world. For those who are unfamiliar with the game, it is basically like sorry, but you have a dice instead of cards.

Modeling Techniques:
The techniques that I used ofter was copy and paste since I wanted to keep the same shape a continuous factor throughout the entire creation. I also used arrayPolar for the center set of arcs and for the four sets of four cylinders on each corner of the larger base. I also used BooleanUnion for the joining of colored pillars and spires so that I could make it one piece rather than several pieces. It also made it easier for layer assignment when it came to creating the layers.

Material Choices:
I mainly stuck with glasses and because I wanted the inner designs to shine through. I also color coded the outer spires with red, green, yellow and blue to indicate the colors of the board as if it was the actual game board itself. I used a clear glass for the center to indicate the popper that is usually in the middle and colored the "dice" in the middle with a ceramic I believe to color it as if it was dice. Then I used a metal material for the basses of the middle and the bigger base because I really liked the way it reflected the colors and it also gave it a sense that there was another side to the castle then what you see.
