      Well, not a bad model but not the best I have ever seen either (more exactly, texturing is awful and since there aren't too many other details, this ruins the whole impression).
      I'm sure you could do better! 😉

      (And install GE - it can be so much fun!)

          I just thought someone might be interested in taking a virtual tour of the fortress:

          (Marian has no need for that, of course. 😄)

              That't a great find Numb. That will be great for making textures.
              Also found a link explaining how they made the 3d presentation of the fortress 6 years ago. 😄 It contains the pictures and angles I was looking for

                    Looking good so far. Now comes texturing I guess!

                      How detailed is it supposed to be, Marian? (I know you mentioned a medium detailed model, I am just not sure what it means)
                      I am thinking about making a model of Diocletian´s Palace in Split, but I can´t tell if I am going to finish it, even with today's life expectancy 😄

                            Well, I wanted to model the windows, the passage ways, railings on the wall, some of the interior court yard's details...maybe it's more than medium.

                            That Diocletian's palace is awesome and it seems there are great pics of the reconstrcution. It would be a shame not to model it 😄

                            I don't know, I'm not satisfied with it yet and still have to add the slits in the walls

                              Now, sorry for hijacking your thread

                              No worries I love these ancient castles/palaces/fortress and I'm of the opinion that most of them should be better protected, restored and even reconstructed where possible.
                              In fact here is a cool thread I found where people from all over Europe posted some pics and info on fortified castles, churches.

                                  Thanks for the nudge, Marian.

                                  Apart from being of emotional significance to me ( I spent a great deal of my youth hanging around the Palace), it is a bit of a challenge on its own, as a rare and magnificent monument, as a national and international property, which was added to the UNESCO World Heritage in 1979.

                                  Now, sorry for hijacking your thread, but I guess that a certain amount of artistic licence will also be necessary in this case - it is unlikely that this, very popular Hebrard´s depiction of the palace is historically accurate:800px-SPLIT-Hebrard_overall_color_restitution.jpg

                                  Excavations carried out in 2006/2007 discovered the ancient coast which had stretched the entire lenght of the palace. Thus the Farlati´s reconstruction seems more probable:800px-SPLIT-Farlati_restitution.jpg

                                  Perhaps Gaieus could enlighten me about this? 😕

                                    There is a Hungarian guy who models our forts and castles as they are reconstructed for GE. Of course, they should not be on GE like this (not all are on the 3D Layer) but I'd never report any of them being "inaccurate" (in fact, I'll not even tell which are not accurate here 😄 ). (Any Googler reading this, please, skip the link...)
