Hi, And_And92:
This is just amazing! Gaieus is going to enjoy this presentation. -
Very fine modeling.
I'll certainly be following your work. -
Thank you guys, hope you'll help me to improve my modeling skills
-
Quite an ambitious project! I don´t dare to imagine the size of the completed project - probably several hundred buildings plus rocks
Impressive work, will be following with great interest!

Vray brokes down when I render the whole scene, so I have to use 3ds max to render...
there are nearly 5 milions of polygons.... in the end there will be more than 100 hundred polys in the scene... more than 300 buildings... but 3d studio is able to support everthing, however sketchup is the quickest way to model this kind f models... for rocks I use sculptris to add detail so I'm not using only SU I use its mot powerful features PS: thank you for compliments

Stick with this and it will be amazing, whats your time-scale for a project of this scope?
-
I don't have a clear plane but I think it will take me mre than 2 years to finish everything
enjoy

I think your models look great and, to me, it all looks very "Gondorian" and seems to be like Peter Jackson's (Alan Lee etc.) take as well. Seems very consistent Romanesque/Gothic mix. Where is the map from? How will you get it all together with the limits of SU? Thanks for posting.

See Lemog for other crazzy reconstructions
-
awesome works ! ...but is a little annoying to follow a thread with such big images inside posts. Maybe the shown image should be displayed scaled down and for full size to open it in new window? (this is for forum admins)
Again, I remained

This is amazing. And you are doing it all by yourself? Have you ever heard of the "Minas Tirith Team Project"? That was an attempt to create the entire city and make it as an interactive 3D model which can be walked in like in a first person shooter game. Unfortunately, the project is dead now for over three years, but the results nonetheless were breathtaking. They even released a preliminary version of the walkthrough-application where you could have a close look at everything that was done already. Many of the houses were still only placeholders and textures were mostly missing, but it was still quite impressive. To see more about it, follow the link: http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=153431
I am really looking forward to what will become of your project.
-
Very impressive!

@Pherim: I know very well The minas tirith project and more than two years ago I annoyed its members asking for suggestions, tips and references.... they didn't help me so much, and were quite unpolite... with the exception of Nerick, who gave me tons of images and not only...
.
However I'm doing everything on my own, slowly the older buildings are a year old. To be honest, I haven't work at the project for 9 months.@Daniel: thank you
-
This is a little OT, but there are obviously some Tolkien fans here so I thought I'd share:
It's an illuminated manuscript of the Silmarillion done by a German art student. Absolutely beautiful, and there are lots of images floating around on the web if you search for "Benjamin Harff" and "Silmarillion". I'm a fan of all things Tolkien, so this work has me drooling and wishing I could be so dedicated.
-
This work is amazing
-
Wow! I will definitely have to keep an eye on this ambitious project. Thanks for sharing!
-
This is great, did you ever finish it?
-
This is so impressive!
I don't know which I'm more in awe of - your talent, or you ambition. I'm a huge Tolkien fan, and if I wasn't terrified of heights I would love to live in Minas Tirith. I really hope you will continue to post updates as this project develops.
