Minas Tirith Project || Part 2

#141

hi, i´m resume today my work of the white tree. Whal will be a nice polycount for it? arroun 10.000 polis without the leaves and flowers (it could be done with texture and Alpha chanel?)?

soon a render test.

#142

10.000 as a max will be ok. (without flowers)
I’m not sure about the alphamaps, I’ll ask Ysaneya if they will be supported in the viewer.

Edit:
Yes you can use opacity/alpha maps.

Hi

I can model in max and i would like to take part in this great idea
Anything would be great-tower or gate or anything

Thanks

#144

well, I do some modifications on it, now have roots and is thiner
The box is “a person” 1.8x0.5x0.5m for a reference.

:wip:

#145

@AMoN-AMoK: The bottom part with the roots looks very nice! Great work.
I think that the upper part still needs some work. The long branch springing for the base looks somewhat unnatural.
But again: great work, keep it going!

@Bekay: You’re welcome to join us. I’ll look for a building to model for you later this afternoon.

@All: Today a prof. soundartist (Waywyn) joined officially. So hopefully we’ll get music in the coming release. I think that’s a great boost for the project :slight_smile:

#146

well some news roots.

@Pjanssen Yea, im start the “finish” from bottom to top of the tree.
ill retouch the long branch wen the roots was finished :thumbsup:

#147

The bottom part looks great! Really cool.
I would love to see it with the top also finished in the new viewer :wink:
Keep it going mate :thumbsup:

#148

Hey, here is an early WIP of the doors for gate-1. Let me know what you think of those wierd things by the sword.

#149

i like the sword detail what you push on the door.
I suggest that in the uper levels of the door (or other doors) cuold be an “historical archive” of the past days of Gondor. As well the days of Numenor, The war of the 3ºAliance, Etc… :love:

And also the wings alwais present in Numenorean Architecture.

#150

Thanks for the ideas AMoN-AMoK. I really like your tree.:thumbsup:

@Synthesizer: Nice work. Maybe you could make those details a little finer, so some more swords on the same area. Again, nice work! Keep it going.

@Senmonjin: Very nice WIP! It looks very MT-ish with all those arcs and pilars. Keep it going!

#153

Here’s an update from my side :slight_smile:
I’ve been doing some detailed work on a table for the credits-movie.
Here are some screenshots, one overview and two close-ups.

#154

And some more, a texture-test and another closeup.
Comments and ideas are very welcome.

#155

a few words…,mmm not, better a image than 1000words --> :eek: :applause:
Might the borders of the book could be more “desgastados” (i dontnknow the word for expres the past of time over an objet).

I have a idea, What do you think about put over the table one of our loved TEAPOT :scream: , representing the 3D universe where we`r working? :bounce:

#156

Thanks for the suggestions. I made it more worn off and aged now. I also added some loose papers to it.

About the teapot: I like the idea :applause: The only thing is that I don’t have any idea how to integrate it with the rest so that it doens’t distract too much :stuck_out_tongue:

#157

Nice job Pier! the book looks great in the last update. Congratulations!!
I have one thing to say about the candelholder. I think that the arms are too thin, and the candles have the same lenght. I think that if you model each candle a little different in lenght it will be more realistic.
I hope to finish my building exterior, and to start with the sketching of the library interior today .
Ah, my real name is Israel Salcedo ( for the intro names).

#158

Thanks for your comments. I will work on the things you mentioned.

I did some sketching for the interior too, and I must say that it’s quite hard to get design a good bookcase in MT-style. It almost always get too art nouveau when I put some decoration on it… I hope to see some sketches from you :slight_smile:

#159

Hi, here is a very early W.I.P. of a statue on the doors of gate-1. I was wondering if this was looking ok, or if it the most hideous thing you have ever seen. It is only my second human head, so I don’t know if this is any good. Comments welcome.

#160

Ah hum oh… i’m no artist but… let’s just say that… it needs work ?
