This medieval castle was made for a video tutorial aimed at beginning to intermediate 3ds max users, all the work involved in creating this piece are included in the tutorial.
Modeling, uvmapping, texturing, shading, lighting, animation and rendering (using mental ray).
You can check out the tutorial on enjoycg.com, i hope you enjoy this render, i had a lot of fun making this one!

Although it's obviously not as detailed as i wanted it to be, I was limited by the fact that this is a video tutorial, so i couldn't go on forever, i'm still pretty satisfied with the end result.
