Concept
My concept for my castle was to create a floating temple in the desert. I wanted to maintain some parts of a castle in the design through adding walls and towers to the temple. The design for the temple itself was based on what I thought the Greek oracle buildings would have looked like in their time.
Techniques
I created the base for the castle and the tops of all of the buildings from paraboloids, the walls from tubes, and the temple and towers from cylinders. I made the stairs out of cubes that were copied and pasted, and used the split and cap tools to create a hole in the inner wall for the stairs to go through. I used the polar array tool to surround the base of the temple in the decorative struts.
Materials
I used granite materials for the ground and walls, and recolored them brown and orange, to look like dirt and sandstone respectively. I wanted the walls and towers to look like sandstone to continue the theme of the temple being in a desert. The windows in the towers were given a dark glass texture. The towers and stairs were given a beige plastic to continue the look of sandstone without the veins that the granite had. The temple and the ground around it were given a white marble texture to make it look more like an oracle's temple. And the tops of all of the buildings were covered in gold to make them seem more regal.
