New 3D Model of the Boldt Castle
 |
| Original Boldt Castle Power House, NY |
For my first OBDF 210 assignment, I decided to create a realistic 3D model of a castle, inspired by the Boldt Castle Power House in New York. I chose to replicate this castle from the year 1900 because I found the design simple yet charming.
I also felt that the form would allow me to practice multiple commands in Rhino 7 that I hadn't used in a while such as Rotate3D, ArrayCrv, BooleanDifference, BooleanSplit, Loft, etc.

Successes & Challenges
Since I hadn't practiced my Rhino skills in about a month, I met a few challenges with the construction of the castle. I initially struggled to make organic textures that matched the reference. I spent a lot of time fine-tuning the colours and patterns of the stone walls, wood shingles, and glass windows. I also spent a lot of time adjusting the render lighting setups to create a fairly natural directional light.
