Castle.

Lists- Area of some size enclosed by a stockade and located around the castle.Space between two enceintes or between an enceinte and a moat which in peace time was used for tournaments (hence the expression "to enter the lists").

Chemise-Wall enclosing the base of the keep to defend it. 
(or Jacket wall)  - Inner walled enclosure of a castle. Low enceinte closely encircling the base of a tower, usually the keep.

Bartizan-A sentry box projecting from a wall used to survey the surrounding area. An overhanging battlemented corner turret, corbelled out; sometimes as grandiose as an overhanging gallery; common in Scotland and France.

Moat-Water-filled trench protecting the castle’s ramparts. A deep trench (in Europe usually filled with water) that surrounded a castle.

Stockade-The castle’s first line of defence, made up of a row of pickets or boards. 

Solid fence of heavy timbers.

Parapet-walk-Passageway along a wall, making it possible to shoot and perform surveillance.

Low wall on outer side of main wall. 

Postern-Secret door built into a rampart.  A side or less important gate or (sometimes hidden) door into a castle; usually for peacetime use by pedestrians.

Brattice, (bretèche)-Small box or machicolation projecting from the wall to reinforce its defence. Timber tower or projecting wooden gallery; hoarding. Small overhanging defensive structure often placed before the entrance of a passage way. A corbelled external gallery commanding the foot of a wall.

Battlement-Wall allowing defenders of the fortification to fire from a protected position. 

Parapet with indentations or embrasures, with raised portions (merlons) between; crenelations; a narrow wall built along the outer edge of the wall walk for protection against attack.

chapel-Place of worship.

keep-Castle’s main tower, serving as a final stronghold in the event of attack. (small keep) - A strong stone tower; main tower; donjon; stronghold. 

pinnacle-Steeple-shaped ornament atop the keep. Ornamental crowning spire, tower, etc.

Ornamental crowning spire, tower, etc.

footbridge

Narrow bridge used to cross the moat and reach the drawbridge.

barbican

Freestanding defense with arrow slits used to defend the castle’s footbridge. The gateway or outworks defending the drawbridge. Known from Antiquity, it seems to have been introduced into western architecture during the Crusades. The outwork usually circular separated from the rest of the fortress by a moat and protecting the main accesses. It forms a filter between the outside and inside of the fortress and serves as a shield, also called a hornwork.

rampart

Thick wall that formed the castle’s outer defense.

drawbridge

Movable bridge that was lowered to allow people to cross the moat and raised to prevent access to the castle.

machicolation

Balcony made of masonry with apertures in the floor through which projectiles were dropped on assailants.

guardhouse

Structure serving as living quarters for the guards.

corbel

Stone projection on a wall to support the top of a tower or wall.

curtain wall

Stone wall connecting two towers or bastions.

bailey

Uncovered space bordered by the castle’s buildings and curtain walls.

covered parapet walk

Covered corridor constructed along a battlement and designed to allow the free movement of guards.

flanking tower

Defense tower making it possible to fire a shot parallel to the curtain wall.

turret

Small watchtower.

castle

Apartments of the lord and his family.

corner tower

Circular tower allowing surveillance and defense in all directions.

The shapes that are in these images are from the selection “Standard Primitives” in the drop down list.
First off we were taught to make a cube by determining the bottom dimension then the height .

We clicked the icon that has four arrows point up down left and right from a centre point. Then we learned to rotate which the icon looks like a standard circular arrow.
We also learned about naming the shape and changing the colour of it. This is so it didn’t create confusion. Then we used the icon that looks like a list with a mouse curser pointing at it. This is the “Select by name” tool.  This is so you can select your shapes in a separate window.  

We learned the icons that help us to move an object using the X,Y and Z Axis.







We also learned to use the rotation tool This is also working by the X, Y and Z axis.

We also learned how to use the snap tool. To help us snap things directly onto one another correctly and accurately.


We also used other shapes..  Apart from the square cube. We also used the sphere shape, the torus shape,  the teapot, the cone, the tube, cilinder and the pyramid.

I enjoyed messing around with the shapes today and distorting them into other shapes.

We used only the primitive shapes today. But this was enough to get my final object.

Our aim today was to end the day with a Castle scene. I have made one of those with the things that I have learned today.

These few images here are from me messing around with the shapes and learning about the placement of objects.






In this image I have used pretty much all of the primitive shapes to make the following images.

In this image I have changed the colours of some of the shapes just so that there is a difference. I also move some of the stuff around.

 In this image is where we learned to use the camera navigation tools.
in this image I have zoomed into a specific object That being the sphere.

This image is a prtsc of us learning how to copy objects. By Holding shift and using one of x,y,and z axis to move the object in the direction you woud like it to be copied.

You can change the colour of the objects. You can also make them into layers. By high lighting the objects that you want to be in a layer and then selecting them in the object select.

You can also change the sizes of individual shapes.

 In this image we had changed the amount of squares on the shape, to make these squares appear you can press F4.

 You can select different objects on the shape using different settings.
When you click them you can change them using the gizmos.

In this image I've selected an entire square and moved it to distor the cube.

 This is the same square that I was talking about distorting. I distorted it into this strange shape using the little points, the lines and the actal squares.










Here is a print screen from a tutorial we had with our lecturer Mike showing us how to make a Sword.







Here is a screen shot from the progress of my castle. I wanted to make mine to look a little different. So i came up with the concept of a Castle made out of bits and bobs like pencils, memo paper, boxes and matches ect. I like this idea because it's quite 'alternative'. I like the final out come. I focused this piece a lot with the textures. As I made the textures for the pen, pencils, flags, floor, ruler, match box and cardboard box.

Here are the final renders of my Finished castle Idea.
