Description
While modeling the castle, I tried, to make it look like ca 800-1200 n.Chr. The walls are painted white, to let the castle looks more impressive (medievil-tradition...WhiteHouse?!). Ca.600.000 Polys (1 foreground building 70.000, castle 20.000), rendertime 12 min with backdrop radiosity and AA low (1200mhz Amd duron). Thanks for viewing.

...and impressive it looks indeed. Excellent work, thanks for sharing.
More 1350, but this was excellent!
whoa...what a magnificent castle!!!!looks huge!!!
Inspirational bud!
woooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww stunning as always :) my brother said he didn't like the roof tiles up the front, but i think they're okay. the only thing that hit me a bit where the pixellated clouds, but oh well heheh if you were THAT perfect, what chance would we have of ever reaching you? ;)
1274.5 after chr.on the point! Im just kidding Really great "steinheim" and castle !!! Castle textures is grandios!!! p.s.: Ich seh Pixel in den Wolken or wat?!! please try now a litle (great) unsharpness in the front! WOW! (sorry for german in the middle)
Excellent job...Textures are superb...
Here I am building little bits and pieces and you are creating works of art. Each one could be a painting. So what is the roof tiles look a little circular, or if the clouds are pixelated (BTW, is that because the background cloud/sky image is of a different size than your render?). The overall impression is beautiful. Excellent job. Vielen Dank auch.
Best part is the atmospheric perspective--gives it nice depth and makes the castle look big and impressive instead of a model. Yes, a little blur on the clouds would be good but that is a trivial thing--another beautiful piece of modelling!
Wow! Awesome work!
You are among the very bestest medieval cityscape artists. The castle is grandiose... so grandiose that I feel bad for the serfs and peasants that had to get taxed to build that enormous edifice. Extremely well done, sir.
Excellent as usual ! But I would like to see a more 'sunlike' feeling to it .. It looks like thay have a very white sun over there :)
I'd put it closer to 1200 than 800..it does have a romanesque look to it, but the crenelations I think show up later, but then again, a lot of castles 'just grew' over time..great picture, I'm not sure about the houses, they almost look Elizabethan..but hey, composition is wonderful, and it's very realistic..you put some serious work into this.
Wonderful image! Love the architecture and lighting!
awesome scene
FAN... FRIGGIN...TASTIC ! ! !
Superb as always!!
OK.... I'm impressed.... a lot. Very good work. The texturing and modelling work on that castle is superb.
WOW! Just amazing detail, I'm blown away by how much is really going on, nice buildings too! Top notch work, I can't stop gaping at it!
It does stand out with the lighter colour. Great choice.
The scale is awesome. Foreground textures seem a bit off compared to the rest of the image. Perhaps it would have looked better with the houses at the bottom cropped off?
Excellent as always !! a Masterpiece !!!!
wonderful work
Truly amazing, this would look fantastic in a lightning storm with water dripping off the roof tops. This is very typical of the old towns where I live - nice work!!
IMPRESSIVE work, great feeling of ancient realism. BRAVISSIMO and vote!
Wow! Awesome work! I like a castle!
AWESOME WORK!!!!!!!!!!!
Hell Jea Mang, this truly is a great work of art. You should work for a game production company. BTW...12 MIN RENDERTIME?!! I don't even understand how you accomplished that with all those poly's, it's baffling. Good Game f00!!
Yes excellent
12 min rendertime? Is that a joke? My rendertimes are allways between 10-30 hours! But what should I say - its excellent :-)
