Marble

My castle was originally influenced by Greek Columned Temples. This is shown through the cylinders which support each level of the floating figure. Mushrooms became a quick focus when using the ArrayPolar command. When using this command the influence of mushrooms became very apparent.

Modeling techniques used within this piece include 3-D joining and the Array Polar command. Shapes used within the piece include paraboloids, cylinders, ellipsoids and toruses. To create the stairs I individually stacked ellipsoids on top of one another to create a staircase.Further, I made several levels and created stairs to create ease for pedestrians traveling among the heavenly structure. 

My castle is made of marble. I chose to use this material because it is traditional to Greek Columned Temples. Marble is also a sturdy and attractive material that I believe complements the idea of this heavenly castle.
