detailed description of the elements of the 3D castle:
Watchtowers: strategically placed at the castle's corners, the watchtowers offer panoramic views over the valley and provide effective defense through loopholes and battlements.
Central keep: This imposing building is the castle's main structure, serving both as the lord's residence and as a refuge in case of siege. It is solidly built to resist attack and has several levels.
Ramparts: The surrounding walls surround and protect the castle. They are fitted with battlements and machicolations, enabling defenders to fire or hurl projectiles at attackers.
Drawbridge: A central element of the castle entrance, the drawbridge is mobile and provides access to the fortress across the moat. It can be raised in case of danger to secure the entrance.
Ditch: Surrounding the castle, the ditch reinforces the defense by making access more difficult for enemies. It can be dry or filled with water, depending on the needs of the fortress.
Ancillary buildings: Surrounding the central courtyard are buildings dedicated to stables, forge, warehouses and soldiers' living quarters. Each building has been individually modeled to bring realism and visual richness.
Inner wall: This second line of defense surrounds the keep and protects the most important buildings. It is equipped with walkways to allow guards to circulate easily.
Chemins de ronde: Protected paths along the ramparts allow soldiers to patrol while remaining safe from enemy projectiles. They provide an unobstructed view of the surrounding area.
Crenellations and machicolations: placed all along the ramparts, these openings allow defenders to fire arrows or pour projectiles without endangering themselves.
Royal courtyard: Located in the center of the castle, the courtyard is an open space where residents and visitors can gather. It's also the site of various daily activities such as the market and military gatherings.
Doors and windows: Each door and window has been modeled with period details, enhancing the castle's realism and historical authenticity.
Natural setting: The castle is set in a steep, rocky landscape, adding a monumental character to the whole and reflecting the construction challenges of the time.
