I didn't know where to post this.. it's not directly related to programming, but it's not an announcement either. Just wanted to show off a new project i'll be working on this summer (note: i will try to regularly update this topic with new screenshots as progress is done).
There's this group of 3D artists that are collaborating to create a massive 3D model of Minas Tirith. Just as a challenge: not for a game project or whatever. All done in medium to hi-polycount. I proposed my help to display (or try to.. ) the model in real-time.
At the moment the model is 1.3 millions polys, and is not textured (how they are going to texture it, that's beyond me..). The ASE file is 450 Mb on disk. It's only the very top of the city, with the main hall and Ecthelion's tower. This is basically 1 / 100th of the total model they're trying to recreate.

1. An overall view of the current model
2. The main hall (1 million polys) from outside
3. Another view of the hall, a bit further away
4. A side view (on the left) looking at the hall
5. Entrance
6. Back view from the left
7. Back view from the right
8. Interior, near the entrance
9. Interior, under the roof
10. Interior, some statues
11. Zoom on a statue
12. A wireframe of the statue (there's more polys in this statue than in a whole Quake2 level)
13. Candle holder
14. Wire for candle holder
15. Bird view, from top of Ecchtelion's tower
16. Wire for fun: main hall from front
17. A side tower
18. Back view of the hall
