enviroment: fantasy castle

[Wizdoc]

First of all, you've got the image tag a bit skewed, the http prefix is twice, thus it shows only a red x.

EDIT: Never mind, you obviously fixed it. :)

But I checked out the image by copy/pasting it into the browser window, and whoa, it looks amazing. Definitely front page material. I especially love the little scale touches such as the birds circling above.

If I have to absolutely find something to complain about, the rocks look a bit off, a bit too "crumpled" and too outwardly sprouting perhaps (if that makes sense). I think real rocks would be jagged, yes, but with a lot more vertical smoothness. And the clouds look a tad bit cotton-y.

But that's very minor details. I doubt I'll be able to pull off something like that anytime real soon. Amazing work, absolutely amazing.

Wow, looks damn awesome.

I was also looking at the rocks a bit, they are indeed a bit strange, although I couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was. I read wizdoc's post in total agreement though, its indeed vertical smoothness thats missing a bit.

Other than that, top notch!

The lighting is very good, not photorealistic but it is perfect for a fantasy theme. It looks almost cel-shading with this lighting.

I find nothing wrong with the modeling and the textures, unfortunately that's what I find weird though: a castle this big should have been damaged by time, not a lot, but just a little (cracks, etc.) This is only a minor detail though, and you could certainly push your work a bit further with this.

I also find the rocks are not really looking like rocks, too jaggy and all. I think this was mentioned. Over all, the modeling is top notch. I think this is front page material.

Any wires? What program did you use? Rendering method? Any website that shows off your work?

Beautiful.

Looks like pencil drawing. Very fine pencil drawing.

And yea, the rocks are not half as good as the rest.

Thanks for the replies.... Done in Blender 2.3

wow, this is the best Blender works I ever see

[Sqwall]

Very Nice. I love the birds at the top. The grassy thibg on the rock look a little bit strange but I can live with that. Great work man. Nice architecture. :thumbsup:

[woadiestyol]

Blender? Are you for real? Jeeze, between this and the air man I'm getting kind of scared of what Blender can do with a skilled person at the controls.... Cool work. I might add a little more variation to the "drips" from the walls and bridge, that was the first thing that kind of caught my eye.

Verry verry nice :applause:

Just those rocks... :curious:

[Sas.hun]

Wow! :eek:

This is very great work! :thumbsup: 5 star. :bounce:

[surrey_baller]

excellent work!
nothing to fault but the rocks really... i actually like them but i dont think they fit in with the castle theme. I can imagine those rocks fitting a japanese mountain scene with bonsai trees growing out, rather than scaling up the side of a castle.
other than that... awesome!!

excellent modeling!

[pearl3d]

best blender work ive seen also. and i can not add anything these guys havent already added about the rocks. i think that if you fix them then you will have a front page peice on your hands. keep it up man:thumbsup:

[blend3d]

Wow, Very nice. I really like the look and feel, it fits the subject for me! The Blender screen shocked me, my tools are Wings and Blender. Your work is an inspiration and a prod to keep at it.

How long have you used Blender and what is your back ground if I might ask?

It's beautiful! The textures are stunningly great! This is what a fantasy castle should be! Did you do all those textures by hand? Can't believe how good they look. I would have accused you of it being 2D if not for the blender cap.

Excellent work! :thumbsup:

[abadone]

AAAMMMAAAZZZIINNNGG!!!!

[DenkoM]

Hi man it is good to see ya here ;) knowing you from 3dgrafika.cz makes me proud !:thumbsup:

[azazel]

The clouds at the bottom are a bit distracting - mainly because they appear flat. Also, some color correction could give it bit more interesting mood. Either way, very nice image :)
