Description

This is a much early piece of work we did on Harlech Castle. It wasn't until we'd completed this that we discovered Harlech, unlike it's sister castle Conwy, didn't have those tower defence hoardings. These, and the fact it's white, make it look like something froma fairy tale. All modelling by phurst. Thanks for viewing, Mak (PS: Keep meaning to mention that all the model work in our images is done by my good friend Peter Hurst. I deal with textures, lights and cameras and running the website)

Hey thats a great work, very realistic ! I suppose it is a composition as it's not so easy to texture terrains in C4D...

Thanks YL. It's a composition, not because of the texturing problem, but because of accurately modeling it. We've tried many times and got close but not close enough. Since we try to be historically and factually accurate, this was the best alternative. Mak

Thanks guys. It took a long time to get that texturing right. It's a mixture of two: a stonework and a off white shader. I put rain stains on in Photoshop - hope to have Body Paint soon! Mak

You may be right there, Trasher! I did 'up' the contrast somewhat in Photoshop as it was little flat. Mak
