Rendering and Bump mapping

I used spherical mapping on the outside pillars and planar mapping on the tops of the pillars as they looked the best.
i used planar mapping on the castle as its boxy

My Idea

I will design and create a fortress called Fort Ægir. Named after the Norse God. Ægir is a sea giant, god of the ocean and king of the sea creatures in Norse mythology. History says that this stronghold was attacked by a family of Monstrous Nightmare Dragons which set the place up on fire in the last stand of battle the vikings were saved by the Ocean God. he created a massive tsunami which grounded the fire based dragons and the vikings were able to seize the victory. the fort is now abandoned due the High risks of dragon attacks but the fire still burns to mark the land for ships.
