This is my current project.  I got inspired from a user* on the trueSpace mailing list.  He had built a couple towers on his home page.  I then could envision the entire castle, with moat, towers, drawbridge, etc.  Hope you enjoy it.  I have a couple of different pictures, each with varying detail.  Most of the bigger copies are 640 x 480.  One of them is 800 x 450 or some weird shape. 
I was going to do an animation with this, and it was quite easy before adding the fog and the chain.  After doing so, the scene came to be 43,042 vertices and 78,305 faces. Changing it from a min in a half to over 5 minute in render time per scene.  And I only have 32 megs of ram.  It caches like crazy.  Perhaps I will do the animation after I get more ram. :) 

* - ps. If your the user on the mailing list with said page, please e-mail me at john@shadow.net and I will give you the credit, and link to your homepage here. :)  Just with all the people on the list, I didn't bookmark it, etc. forgetfull me.  If I see your page again from the list, I will be sure to list ya.



This is one of the very first things I have ever attempted to do with trueSpace.  It was before I even read the manual. :)  Its not very good, and some day I will model a better one.  It looks ok now, but if rendered with ray tracing, the vertices all criss cross, etc. from trying to bevel the edges too much.  I learned a lot from this project though.

This is my second project. I got a little too detailed when it came to the tanks tracks. So far it takes up close to 54,442 vertices, and 34,695 faces. 

I was quite pleased with the overall outcome of the tank itself. Also learned quite a bit by doing this one.  I had read the first couple chapters of the trueSpace Bible before tackling this one.
