Cool stuff matt. I particularly like the first one

Luis Esteves

Good day Matteo,

This is a very nice work. I love the first one.
Just one question, normally, the walls are white, aren't they ?

matteo

hi Luis,

the walls are very old look greysh. The stone walls are partially covered by a plaster that was white or rose. Since I didn't have a good set of photo references I decided to apply a generic cardboard texture for the esxterior walls, and white paper texture for the interiors. All the wooden elements are texturized with a generic balsa wood.

Where I live, about 90 km far from the castle, the rocks of the Alps look reddish, due to the presence of a certain amount of iron oxides, so that many old castles look brown-red.

Elysium, here are some floorplans, also made with skethup: i find very nice the sketchy styles combined with colored lines.

Well done Matteo. That job must have had your brain tied up in knots but you unraveled everything okay

Those section shots are absolutely fantastic!

Great job, congratulation!

Gaieus

Finally!

I've seen some of these when cleaning "orphaned attachments" in the admin panel (sigh... work first all the time) and thought that I'd see some beauty once I get to the Gallery (which is generally the last forum I can visit ). Now I'm here and yes, great stuff, indeed!
Please, post some more shots if you can (simple, easy SU output is just fine!)

matteo

Thank you all for the kind comments.

here a quick x-ray shot and another wip, quasi fisheye shot, rendered with vue 6, I used for a while as desktop wallpaper.
