I made Minas Tirith from Lord of the Rings in Unreal Engine! This is the craziest project I have ever done for YouTube! I had to learn a ton of new things, and work through a lot of issues, but I love the final result and can't wait to share it with you (and the process too). If you want to grab the model for yourself, and create your own version, grab it here:

FULL DESCRIPTION
Doing this project, and making this video, was a real grind, but I'm really happy I did it. I learned a ton of new stuff, and the results are seriously pretty epic. It was a huge scene for Unreal Engine, and that posed a lot of problems, but I got it all figured out. I think there is much to learn from watching the process, and I'm sure you'll enjoy seeing Gondor and Minas Tirith really come to life with real time rendering. Enjoy, and let me know what you think in the comments!
