Project Pelargir

A low-poly exercise with Autodesk 3ds Max

My aim is to create an untexturized low-polygon model of Pelargir (c. 17th century Third Age) in scale of 1:1000. Basis of the map is the one published in ICE:s Sea-Lords of Gondor. I have developed it further to give the city a plausible social and architectural history.

Day 1: Started with a heightmap and few loci to define the area of the city.

Day 2: Spouting Whale & Dock

Day 2: Buildings from above.

image
Day 3: Northern part of the Neldëlendin, minus bridges and details. From right to left: Spouting Whale Inn, Captain's Guildhalls, Courtyard of Shipmasters, Houses of the Shippers and Outfitters, Halls of House Talahir, Warehouses, Belltower.

image
Day 4: Making those little houses really takes time. The same area from above, with Angamando, more piers and buildings added.

image
Day 5: Halls of the Faithful in the quarter of Gobel Ciryaher.

image
Day 5: A view to very incomplete Newport (Vinyalond), with Halls of the Faithful in the background.

image
Day 6: After a five-week hiatus, the project continues.

Day 7: A view from above. Gobel Eärnil takes shape.

Day 9: Gobel Eärnil: 85% completed.
