Making a Keep

 first we made a block –
height= 960
length = 1280width = 1600 
and then we made a reference block for a man Width - 32 height = 96 length = 32



We then used Bevel on the top polygon and had the height set to 0 and the width at 64 to create a lip, then extrude set this to 120
Then select the  back poly and top inset by 64
Extrude the top by -64

Delete the top of the back polygons to create a gap, the delete the top polygon.


 Select the back and front edges and then from the bottom tools select bridge, this will then fill in your top gap.There is a tear with the fixing, so to fix this you need to go onto vertex(instead of poly) and then you select one of the vertex in the top right hand corner by the gap, right click and select ‘target wield’ – you then select middle vertex and the bottom on the inner side (for both) and then it will join them.


you then select on the edges from the front of the keep, ring them and then slect connect – choose 12 segments and then from here with them all selected you have to scale them on the z axis so that they all align. Do this again for the other side by scaling them on the y axis.



you the select the top of the middle polygons on the front lip, you then extrude them 64, then 128 and then 64.





Then select the front polygons in selecting the 2 fronts ones first, and then on the second column selecting 2 and then carry on until the end- you then extrude your selection by 128






select the top and bottom on the ones that were missed, you then inset your selection by 32 then delete the selection.
From here you select border, drag a selection box over the area we were just working on to make the holes, once selected then select bridge.
you then use your move tool to create a funnel effect


then select the polygons from the front of the battlement, extrude them, and then you select every other block and extrude them for protection of the 'player, do the same selecting ever other polygon on the top of the sides. 



you then create more pols in the front, by selecting an edge using the ring function and then implementing to segments with a side of 64 and a pinch of -18
you then inset every other block by 64, and then extrude it by -40



We then deleted the bottom polygons to save on space and reduce the amount of polygons. Then choose all of the polygons on the roof apart from a ring of 2 thick around the sides, extrude this by 720, and then bevel ontop of this

Once done, you then repeat the process of making battlement on top, once again to supply the player with cover and protection
