Well, he used voxel for the mountain and the tower.

Yeah, it is very lacking of small details, so to me it is a bit uninteresting.
But enough about their tower, let's get back to talking about OUR servers wonderful remake of the Misty Mountains!

Can I suggest to add some water here? Would look better if this little stream went a bit farther, like the other ones:

Fixed. Thank you, master of derp-finding

Wow, just found this on MCPlanet. Oh my Eru, that's a Durin's Tower!

the server that made that one are ex-MCME droogs

UPDATE

New completed sections:
#14
#17
#18
#25
#27

Next on the schedule are most likely numbers 19, 20, 21 and 22


Important:
Due to Credoo's time schedule we will have to review the Durins Tower contest a few days before christmas, a concrete date isn't known yet, but I suggest you should calculate that you are done by the weekend of the 20th/21st december

Why is the northern sand border?

Why is the northern sand border?

when I made the borders for the main section 1 (mtns of moria) i made that go through valleys, however I realised that its way easier to voxel always entire valleys (both sides of it) and thus this is a small leftover that will be tackled later.

 

[Bombur8]

OK, thanks .

 

[Finrod_Amandil]

Update Time!

The working area has majorily been enlarged southwards to nicely finish off the valleys.
- section 19 finished
- section 20 only glacier jobs left to do; expect glacier job by @Will_em soon.
- section 8 and 9 (Nimrodel valley) started, for our Lothlórien build team ;-)

 

[Top_Gun]

Woo, actual falls of Nimrodel!

 

[Will_em]

Will have some delay on the jobs for the glaciers, as I am pretty busy the next couple of weeks. Try to check around 9 pm gmt +1 on next tuesday or friday, and after friday any other day. If you have more questions just ask me on a forum conversation.

 

[Finrod_Amandil]

Woo, actual falls of Nimrodel!

Its totally not the case that I totally did not think of that jk, thanks a bunch for the reminder

 

[Top_Gun]

Heh, I'd noticed after posting that there's already a section right near where Nimrodel empties into the Silverlode where it kind of descends in a hurry, but if there's any way to whip up a sort of legit small stepped waterfall or something, that'd be awesome.

The future site of the falls:

The future site of the falls:

Shape is not definitive yet, only had to plan out the height (cuz that is pretty darn scarce on Eastern side)

So, is the shape totally up to you guys, since the falls are never described?

Well, we speek of multple falls (and not a single one), combined with the limited height i wont have too many possibilities to lay them out

 

[wheelleee]

Always thought nimrodel was just a small 2-3 block wide stream, since it was described as being fordable. Also, having it as a stream might allow nicer overall feelings, making the falls seem taller etc.

 

[Aule_]

maybe the main source could split into multipe 2-3 wide block falls that then rejoin at the bottom of the falls, that way the source would be realistic, in the volume of water and the 2-3 block width would make the falls seem taller

some concepts
