YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO USE THE ZOOM IN ORDER TO REALL SEE THE DETAILS OF THE MODELS. This is a large modeling effort that is still in progress, but I wanted to get your imput on it before I went any further. It is based upon an archeologically accurate 3d model that I briefly saw during a History Channel program about the real Braveheart. It was of the Wallace family farm hold, which was made of wood, not stone, because wood was scarce and it proclaimed the wealth and power of the family to build it in wood. Contrary to legend, Braveheart came from a wealthy and powerful family. I took some quick sketches of the original TV model and have improvised the other details. The model of the draw bridge winch is based upon a freebie model that I picked up from somewhere on the Net, but I cannot locate the documentation as to who did it. I didn't want to use other peoples' models for this project so I duplicated the original model using Bryce primatives and different textures. The models will be scaled to Poser figures and can be used for both inside and outside scenes. I am not going to furnish them, as there are plenty of models out there of accurate medieval furniture; however, there will be a finished room in which to place them. It will be a large project with an initial set of two towers (essentially the same model with slightly differing details such as windows, doors, etc.), a Gatehouse with draw bridge, a short wall and a long wall, and possibly the moat. At this point, I'm not sure how I will go about constructing the moat, but have some ideas. At this time, I need to add a circular stair case and tweak the thickness of the window panes for the towers, otherwise, they are finished. The Gatehouse needs to be widened as it is too narrow to accommodate the winch on the second floor, plus the bridge and chains for it need to be modeled. Also, the slot windows need to thicker so they show on the inside. Doors and first floor window panes also need to be added. The walls, need steps or ladders to be attached and probably a lot of posts and framing as well. In the original model, instead of a keep, there was a small chapel, several thatched houses and stables with corrals and fenced off grassy patches for the cows and sheep Nowhere was the ground paved that I could tell. Structures were arranged without any sense of planning, just wherever there was room. Corrals were roughly oval but usually of an irregular shape. Most of the buildings appeared to be of very rude construction--even the larger house of the Lord, although a bit nicer was still rather humble looking. It was next to the chapel. I give you these details because I'm not sure I'll have the time or energy to create all that. Again, I think there are good models of such buildings already out there for free or purchase, so it may not be worth my while to bother with them. My intention is to give these away as freebies to the GC community. Each model will be a large file (ranging from 144 to 195 MB). In most cases, you probably wouldn't use more than one for most pictures. Anybody interested? Jeremy Credits: Every thing created by me in Bryce 5.5.
