ok folks i hate doing this. i don't like puting up things i know are not finnished :) however. since it has been ages since i posted, mostly because i've been working onthis monsrosity, i decided to share with the brycers what i've been up to. the castel is all mine. and modled in bryce using primitives. the flags were done in rds 5.5. and the textures on the castle are from fast trax (mostly bone 4) with the ambience removed (didn't want my castle glowing now did i) :) i'm starting to work on the landscaping and hopefully will have it done sometime before i die :) enjoy ps yes i sacrificed some quality to get a smaller file size will not sac so much in final version. so far though the pic is like 300k and growing.

Other than the different styles it looks quite good. And even the differnt styles of architecture I don't mind (the tall tower and the one with the spiral compared to the rest.) .. It would be quite common since castles were often built over a long time or added to. I simply would probably change the material slightly to reflect a newer construction ... Other than that minor point I think it looks quite good. Nice work!

Great job! Only thing I would change is the metal material you used for the tower roofs...copper shingles don't stay shiny very long (about a week). Maybe vertigris/oxidized copper, with a scaly bump...great modeling job, wondering just how many objects you got going there....

Nice! I've been working on one for several months out of Bryce primitives. Now I'm going through and changing them to imported objects so that I can export the whole model when I'm done. It's a 20 meg Bryce .obj and growing! I don't think I'll ever finish it!

73 objects in the castle alone.. all primitives.. the tops are supposed to be gold/brass.. and i'm wondering if i'll ever be finnished myself :) br4 file is 40mb and growing. i did one of the final renderings now i'm going to swing camera around and up, and pull back a ways so i can get a shot of the whole thing. whgich will involve me adding more landscaping all around the castle.. my pc is hating me so badly :)

ok i miss counted :) miscounted badly ... castle is 423 objects.. gues it works better when you count all the objects in all the groups lol i was playing with it and ungrouped all thew grooups so i could get a correct object count.
