Rocca Calascio is a mountaintop fortress or rocca in the Province of L'Aquila in Abruzzo, Italy.
Built of stone and masonry exclusively for military purposes and intended only to accommodate troops and never as residence for nobles, the fortress overlooks the Plain of Navelli at one of the highest points in the ancient Barony of Carapelle.
Santa Maria della Pietà and Rocca Calascio.
Construction of the fortress started in the tenth century as a single watchtower. A walled courtyard with four cylindrical towers at the corners around a taller inner tower was added in the thirteenth century. The lower half of the fortress is built with distinctively larger stones than its upper half. It is believed that this feature was to make its base impenetrable to invaders. The fortress was never tested in battle. However, it was badly damaged in November 1461 by an earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 7 to 8 on the Richter Scale.

This is a detailed 3D model of a traditional Beijing Siheyuan, the iconic courtyard residence known for its classical Chinese architecture. A siheyuan is a type of dwelling commonly found throughout China, especially in Beijing and rural Shanxi. Throughout Chinese history, this layout was the foundational pattern for residences, palaces, temples, monasteries, family businesses, and government offices.

Shurijo castle is a Ryukyuan gusuku in Shuri, Okinawa. Between 1429 and 1879, it was the palace of the Ryukyu Kingdom, before becoming largely neglected. In 1945, during the Battle of Okinawa, it was almost completely destroyed. After the war, the castle was re-purposed as a university campus. Beginning in 1992, the central citadel and walls were largely reconstructed on the original site based on historical records, photographs, and memory. On the morning of 31 October 2019, the main courtyard structures of the castle were destroyed in a fire.

A few simple sketchfab editor changes for a challenge for fun, the focus was a fantasy feel around dusk, the main changes are;

* Static color background with opacity changes for the sea and sky. This is a simple trick makes a cohesive color composition
* Normal maps added for everything most strikingly the water to break up the flat colors and depth
* Use of refraction opacity, for the sea top has roughness added for depth. The sky has refraction calibrated make use of the assets in the scene to give an almost perlin finish of numerous colors depending on angle
* Clear coats and anisotropy to bounce around colors and add depth
* Orange lighting in the courtyard for a lived in feeling
* Emissions for extra color calibration
* SSAO, Sharpness, Vignette, Tonne mapping and color balance

A big point cloud of the Humility Brings Prosperity gate, now installed in Gallery 200 at Mia.

*The gate comes from Shanxi province, which, because of its dry climate, contains the largest concentration of surviving historic wooden structures in China. An inscription on the main beam dates the gate to 1858, during the Qing dynasty (1644–1912).*

*This imposing gate once formed the entrance to the main courtyard of an urban middle-class family compound. The four-character panel over the doorway reads, Humility Brings Prosperity (Lüqian Jianfeng 履謙漸豐). The gate demonstrates the hallmarks of traditional Chinese architecture: a post-and-lintel structure that supports a graceful gable roof and intricate rafters, as well as brackets that extend the eaves and provide decoration. Like other works of traditional Chinese architecture, no glue or nails were used, and the gate was assembled using only joinery and wooden pins.*

Gateway to the University of Applied Arts Vienna as part of the Heiligenkreuzerhof. The Heiligenkreuzerhof is a courtyard ensemble in the center of Vienna. It is located between Schönlaterngasse and Grashofgasse and is today surrounded by a complex of the monastery courtyard, prelature, chapel and apartment building. The Heiligenkreuzerhof is often referred to as the oldest apartment house in Vienna. It was built in the 12th/13th century and has belonged to the Cistercian monastery of Heiligenkreuz since that time. The medieval cellar vaults still date from this time. In 1587 stonemasonry work was carried out by Italian masters. However, a large part of the courtyard, the chapel and the prelate's courtyard were demolished in the Baroque period and rebuilt by order of the abbots of Heiligenkreuz Monastery from 1659 to 1676. The courtyard got its present appearance only after further reconstructions in 1769-1771, from which time the facades also date.

"Anschluss" Monument in Oberschützen. The monument was erected in Oberschützen (Burgenland) after Austria's "Anschluss" to the National Socialism German Reich in 1938/39. Construction according to plans by architect Rudolf Hofer began in October 1938 and was completed in May 1939. It is considered the largest such National Socialism building in Austria. Originally, there were eight pylons with fire bowls in the colonnaded courtyard, and in the centre a gilded eagle was enthroned on a pedestal with the inscription "Ein Volk! Ein Reich! Ein Führer!". After the collapse of Nazi rule, parts of the monument were removed and destroyed. Again and again, a discussion germinated about the further use of the building. It was to be demolished or the history of its creation made taboo. In 1997, the municipality reinterpreted the monument as a "memorial against violence and racism". In 2016, the building was listed as a historical monument. In 2018, a renovation took place.

The statue of Miklós Jurisics stands in the courtyard of Jurisics Castle in Kőszeg (Güns). It commemorates the Croatian-Hungarian military leader who served under Ferdinand I. The bronze sculpture was created in 1963 by the sculptor Sándor Mikus.

Jurisics became famous for defending the town during the Siege of Kőszeg in 1532. With fewer than a thousand defenders, he held off a large Ottoman army under Suleiman the Magnificent for several weeks. His resistance delayed the Ottomans’ advance toward Vienna.

The statue commemorates Jurisics as the city’s defender and highlights Kőszeg’s historical significance as a border fortress against the Ottoman Empire. To this day, the city’s bells ring daily at 11 a.m. to mark the end of the siege.
