oh - it seams it is more complicated than i first thought. i only added some spikes on top of the roof today. so it is again a rather small update. but face count got up to 14 K - and there is not even high detail yet. well gotta see what comes next.

played a bit with the lights. it has 4 point lights (one of them casts the shadows) and a directional light. but maybe the blue one needs a little adjustment i think. any suggestions on the light?
