Still Modeling in Middle Earth

Work continues on the creation of 3D assets and environments. Middle Earth remains the focus, with most of the time spent in Rivendell. The goal is to develop modular assets and environments that lend themselves to re-use as virtual film sets for planned deep-dive videos et al., from Fantasy & Science Fiction in all their various forms. I aspire to make "functioning" locations with credible mise en scène that can withstand close scrutiny by the camera.

This current WIP is an attempt to develop architecture evocative of Tolkien's Elvendom. Rivendell will serve as the template with similar locations like Eregion, Lindon, and perhaps other Fantasy milieus for future works. The Gothic Vault/Portico/Door design was directly inspired by the brilliant work of Roberto F. Castro as part of concept art for "The Rings of Power" streaming series.
