Whoops i went a different route entirely but to be honest i kinda wanted the block effect as it is similar to the castle up the road from me.

I went in with cubes and used subsurface and boolean modifiers to tidy up.
Future students. Dont worry if you didnt do my method i went overkill

Tried to do a chunkier one based on images on Google…

• array for the knobs

Hi to all the names, I recognize from the other courses

[Richard_Rayer]

Useful information here! Nice to know…

I had to look up the term Portcullis as I was not aware of what that meant. I did not know (or probably remember) that from school. At any rate I got a bit of an education in castle design and defense.

Here is my portcullis:

edit:
Added some depth-of-field and put a bevel modifier on the portcullis (because nothing is perfectly angular)

Here is my portcullis. I had some inspiration and decided to use some animation skills I learned from Mikeys other courses.

Every time I tried Pasting into script, I kept getting errors, I tried everything nothing works.
Maybe work is being done on current revision of 2.8

I thought it was cool to learn just a little of behind the scenes, and buzz kill only errors

[Hubbit_200]

I get the same errors as @TheOutlawPetey… Can anyone help?

[Michael_Bridges]

I believe it’s the Blender Python API undergoing some work that has broken this at the moment. Hopefully it will be resolved soon

[Capricas_Kirito]

Like TheOutlawPetey, I had some problems with Python not doing what was expected so ended up repeating a few ‘multi-step’ steps manually. Meh, that’s what I get for gettin’ fancy

Not sure what in the world I’m gonna do with it but here’s my Portcullis. Feel free to steal it if you want

PS: I also used this exercise to play around with the stupidly complex node that loads by default as i didn’t want to mess up the materials in my bridge scene.

[Michael_Bridges]

I like that design I could see it being used on a Gothic themed prison!

[Caleb_Leavesley]

I am also getting these errors. It’s a real pain. Still looking for fix?

[Caleb_Leavesley]

The animaiton looks amazing @bjhackne11! Did you alter the material on the doorway to make it more scrunched? I think I’ve had that happen to me accidentally a couple of times (especially in Unreal) and it REALLY, REALLY is a pain. Maybe merging your doorway and walls would fix it (If it’s even a problem )?

[Caleb_Leavesley]

AAAAAAANNNNDDDDDD… HERE IT IS!!! I’m actually proud of this one.

[Michael_Bridges]

That’s really cool!
