some maya objects



       This door will be on the front of my castle. The sides aren't textured because they won't be seen           when the scene is finished.
        Here is a tree I created, This is one of three trees I made. There are multiple trees because it will           look more natural in the scene if there are differences between them.

More Castles




                                               This bell will be atop my clock tower




                                       I'm going to use this tower In my Maya project.






                                         I want this kind of cliff behind my garrison

Castle ideas and inspiration

My initial inspiration came from a game I was playing called Dark Souls. It happened to have LOTS of castles so the first ideas that came into my head where from Dark Souls. I looked online and I found a 3D map viewer that showed the entire open world of the game. With this i was able to look at how the castles were designed and how they looked as it was pretty difficult to get a good perspective from
within the game.



At the moment I'm set on the idea of making a castle that is medieval themed and over exaggerated, using large brickwork. the designed will be based on English/Welsh castles from the 17th century, such as Ruperra Castle in Wales. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruperra_Castle)
