Concept: My castle was created with inspiration from the real life Japanese
Osaka castle keep along with some facts I learned about Japanese
castle layouts. Some of those notable details include a long path around the keep, higher elevation towards the castle center, and slanted walls with open slits for ranged defense. The intention for my castle was to be historically accurate while having my own creative touch to the design.
Process: The castle keep was created using several features in Rhino 6. The keep's walls are simple rectangles boxes duplicated and scaled to sit on top of one another. The roofing on the castle and walls started as triangle curves that were extruded into solid objects. It was then duplicated and reused like the rectangles. The outer walls of the castle were made from boolean differences and unions Starting as an extruded curve I used the booleandiffference command to add the slits in the walls and boolen union to had some height to the outer facing side of the walls. The fence and door was created from unions of several cylinders and rectangles. Lastly the stairs and sloped walls were made using mainly the booleandifference command to cut out the desired shape.
Material: Historically Japanese castles were made from mainly wood and stones, so I tried to keep with that in my choice of materials. The outer walls and pathways use cement and stones, I used a terrazo material for the sloped walls because it looks similar to how they were made from large boulders cemented together in real life. Most of the keep's walls and door are made from several wood material. Roofing for the keep and outer walls used a ceramic stone material.
