Hohenzollern Castle (Germany), One side with statues

Description
I have been visiting the Hohenzollern Castle (Burg Hohenzollern) in January 1st 2017.
It is a beautiful histrorical castle located in south Germany.

This destination allows you to visit a small area, displaying 3 kings of Preussen from the past.
You will quickly notice how massive this castle has been built up there on a pretty high mountain.


I was actually planning to take drone pictures/videos but it is strictly forbidden to fly in the area.
When I saw this particular place, I decided to take some photogrammetry pictures by foot instead.
Only 11 minutes of quickly taking photos in a rush. Turned out pretty good I must say.

Have fun and enjoy!

Hello Cargo Cult!
Thanks for your comment. I have just uploaded an updated version with an entire collision model added. You can no longer fly the drone through the castle. :steamhappy:

Fantastic work!

(Also, make sure you've got collisions in there - a simple Hammer mesh plane aligned with the ground and textured with 'tools/toolsnodraw.vmat' should do the trick...)

Hello and thanks to you both. :bigGrin:
I am using a Nikon D3300 (DX VR 18-55mm). The photo sphere is actually not from the same place (fake!! :goggles:). I didn't have enough (any?) photos for a proper sphere so I took it from the internet.
I didn't take enough pictures and they were all handheld. It was more or less just testing what can be achieved within short time. Now that I see the results, and how it could be further improved, I wish I had taken much more pictures around the castle. :bigGrin:

Very good texture quality! What camera did you use? And how did you add the photo sphere (background)?
