Castle Neuschwanstein - not finished yet

kolibri69 · 14 Feb 2019, 18:33

Hello,

here is a model of the castle Neuschwanstein in Bavaria/ Germany
The model is not finished yet. There are still some windows missing. The terrain is suboptimal and without vegetation. The sculptures are missing because I have no experience in this area. Construction period 3 years with interruptions of several months.

wow - hats off. What a labour of love. I'm curious about the statistics; number of polygons - millions / zillions?

That is amazing mate I think it is nice of NASA to lend you their computer

Fantastic!!

I always wonder how guys like you get the dimensions and all of the information needed to do work like this.

I actually saw the castle when I was stationed in Germany (US Army - was stationed in Baumholder) in the late 60's.

That's incredible! Great job!

Damn! That's amazing, Kohls. Curious about your source materials. Did you use only photographs, or did make site visits or have access to drawings?

Hi, only photos from the internet.
Two good sources are:

Very nice piece of elf torture there, fantastic job.

It is difficult to get good photos. The Bavarian Palace Department pays close attention to the photography ban on the castle grounds.

Have you finished it yet?

kolibri69 · 16 Feb 2019, 17:45

Hi L i am,

I'm just a bit lazy right now. I only rendered the pictures for the board. Until last week I worked on the tram.

Greetings from Germany

Sorry Matthias, I was joking. I am well aware how how enormous that is

Cheers

...
As a child I was there with my parents - later then I myself with my own. And yes, one wonders how that is possible! A long-term task with certainty. I would like to bet that there are not so many 3D data attempts of this impressive castle complex.

Respect, I'm so impressed!
