Jack Purcell: Project 1 Castle

Concept
I wanted my castle to give off a sort of futuristic oppressive Sci-Fi vibe. I wanted it to represent architecture that couldn't exist with today's technology. I also wanted it to be intimidating, because while Castles  do house people they also serve to protect and display power.

Process
I used plenty of booleans of larger spheres to create cavities to house the smaller spheres. I also drew the main two towers using the draw curves tool and extruded them to create the base of the two towers. I also drew and extruded solids to subtract from the towers using booleans to give them their triangular prism shape.

Materials
I gave the main orb in between the two towers an emissive material to achieve the Sci-Fi look. I decided on a purple gold and while color palette for the rest of the materials to make it look appealing and also break up the model into different colors. Almost all of the materials are some form of brushed metal, I chose this because I thought it would also fit the futuristic theme.
