Trydar9kwell, as a castle building enthusiast, I like that its not too fantastical and has some consideration to realism.

my only criticism would be that the gatehouse looks under fortified and out of proportion. its dominating your courtyard that should be more flat and filled with several smaller buildings of specialized functions.


I did mention that I COULD add a lot more buildings in it, but decided not to because I only wanted to make a basic shape for people to use. That would have implied a flattened courtyard. Thanks for the feedback!

Well it is true that the tutorial part was more about the planning, which I think is an important step people often tend to skip. I might do another tutorial with more description in the building part. Thanks for the feedback!

Hi Deku,
Of course you can fournish the interiors using this technique. I chose to cover only the exterior aspect for this video because interior design is an whole other thing, and the video would have been twice as long. I might make a tutorial on interior design in the future if there's some interest. I'm glad you liked the video!

I would like to start off by thanking you for making the video, it was both helpful and really cool to watch! (I'm a sucker for time lapses)

It definitely is different from what I'm used to building, and because the skill is so much higher than what I originally accustomed to, I wound up a tad bit confused.

What I usually do is cut out the terrain, so my structure is definite; but here it looks like the castle was built to accommodate the terrain. Can I do what you did if I intend to furnish and fill in the interior of my castle? (It doesn't look like you filled it in from the video, and if you did then I apologize)

Thanks again, Mr Clavet!
