Minas Tirith Project || Part 2

#301

Argh! Just missed out on joining hah, no worries. But anyway,it is looking great so far. Would love to see this finished!

#302

Awesome! I’m working on the building now. But, the building doesn’t seem to have good references. I’ve got two pictures of it. But they’re all from a distance. :frowning:

Can’t wait to start finishing models! :stuck_out_tongue:

#303

I’m getting a little confused with my reference images.
Maybe someone can give me an opinion on this.
Are these really the same buildings? did i confuse something? if not, which one should i use for reference?

#304

MadPayne: hmm, I agree it looks kinda strange, but is must be the same

#305

Hi folks. Well I would like to join your team as a character modeler. I think that I’m guite experienced{Working in CG {in MAYA}for 8 years} SO please let me know by E-mail:
kajaba@szm.sk

#306

Madpayne:
Seems like there are discrepancies in a few of those buildings. Weird.

#307

It isn’t so strange… I suppose the one on the right is from the movie.
There could be different revisions of the model…and the one on the left isn’t the one that made it into the movie probably.

Or, in the movie some structures have been modified in CG and composited.
Often, things get modified in CG even though there’s nothing wrong in a sculpture or on a real place…just director’s “final and late word”… :wink:

#308

if its at all possible, when this thing is done, someone should throw it into the unreal engine and we can all have a massive frag-fest in Minas Tirith!

Large Version … Large Version

For ‘clean’ highres versions, please email me at Pier.Janssen@Endless-dimensions.com

@MadPayne: This is indeed very confusing. When I made the map I came across more things like this. It seems to me that the large scale miniature and the small scale miniature differ, since the differences are most of the time visible when you compare a wideshot (small scale miniature) with a detail (large scale miniature). Personally, I prefer to use the models of the picture on the left, but it’s just what suits me (and in this case you) best.

The unreal engine is not powerful enough to run this kind of model in real time.

#311

Apart from the fact that you’re all out of your minds, which is not a bad thing, I’d like to say that this is a huge, and very wicked project.

If you guys really pull this off, you might reach some newspapers I think. (Just a small article, but still.)

Do you guys, by any chance, need experience Photoshop users for textures?

#312

so, do you need any more modellers at all? i want to make a building. i don’t care which. i’ve been 3d modelling for about 5 years now, and i think i could model one of those buildings pretty easily. if you need any more modellers, please let me know, thanks!

#313

I want to join this awesome project! I’ve been looking for a cool project to do after work (low-poly game modeling day job) and this sounds so exciting! I know XSI 4, Maya 5, and Max 6, and I think I’ll use XSI and convert it when it’s done. Please assign me a ramdon building and I’ll go find the reference myself.

Here is my email if you need it kateliu@ideanest.com

Thank you!

#314

Cool, I’ll have to bookmark this thread. I saw this when you guys first started, but I had no idea it has come this far. Congrats.

I’ll consider joining when all of my current projects (most non related to 3d unfortunately) are finished. I look forward to it.

About how many buildings are still up for grabs?

#315

wow, quite the massive project, thought how do you manage to texture all of this? UV mapp it all? or do you have a totally kick ass shader/s

#316

Hey. Here is 3-rf-15. Tell me if you think it needs anything else. I tried to keep the polys down cause I know its a big project. But if you want more detail anywhere, just say so. I also tried to match one of the renders to the shot from this pic. (The second image) It looks alright I guess.

#317

I’m a bit confused, i was supposed to do 4-rf-04 and in the second list, you said 3-rf-01. So, i guess i’ll do 3-rf-01 first, and then 4-rf-04. If that’s alright with you?

(Sorry for the confusion.)

#318

It’s written that my building is 4-rf-03, but I don’t see it in the reference image , while I see 4-rf-06 standing there and not assigned to anyone, besides… look at the arrangement of the tasks :

Sherif Nagib 4-rf-03
bartosz 4-rf-07
Jason Mackey 4-rf-08

That’s why I think mine should be 4-rf-06, so it goes like 6,7,8.
plz confirm so I start modeling, and if you have any hires images of that building send to engsherif@link.net

p.s : Pjanssen , I sent u an email with the same inquiry.

#319
