So nice to see that the skills are as awesome as always.  It was a great day for the community when you arrived back and started making magic again.

[Schulmanator]

Welcome back Xannepan!! Wow,   stunning work as always

[DebussyMan]

That castle is awesome, it fits great with the sorroundings. I also love the mix of floor textures you used.

[SimFox]

Both Castle and Antwerp Cathedral - one of my favorites- are looking great.
About that shadow issue with foundation of the castle. There is rather simple solution to that. You should render foundation with castle on top, but only foundation LODs. For simplicity you can attach all the stuff about the foundation in single object and then in it's properties set it invisible for camera, but make sure it is still casting shadows.
This way when render is done your foundation will receive all the shadowing that have to be there and will be a perfect match for the castle.

Hello Xannepan,

I've never been to Burg Eltz you so wonderfully recreated. But it seemed soo familiar.
And now I remember why. the Eltz stars in an comic album of Yoko Tsuno. drawn by Roger Leloup.
For those who are interested. It is album 14. "Lightning of Wotan" or "de bliksem van Wodan.



good luck with your wonderful bats.

Strech.

Wow, I`m stunning. Great work, I can't descripe it.
My uncle lives in Wierschem, that`s the next town to Burg Eltz, and my grandma lives in Müden/Mosel. Wonderful 
Route from Wierschem to Burg Eltz (3km)

[Serkanner]

I dare say this fabulous castle is amongst the five best models made for this game ever. But I will have to think real hard which the other four are. 

[BarbyW]

I agreed with Serkanner and put it with Caliban's Duke Chapel and Swiss Re building as well as xannepan's churches as being among the best BATs ever made. It is truly scrumptious and gorgoeus and I've run out of superlatives.

[TheTeaCat]

Its Astounding. 

It has got to be one of the most beautiful BATs I've ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing this with the community. Its is an absolute gem 

A very well earned
