Barad Dur 3D animation - first 15 seconds DONE

15 seconds down. 45 seconds to go.

Hey guys, Last year I posted here my breakdown for the last 8 seconds of my Barad dur- 60 seconds shot where I broke down how I created the top of the tower and the eye.

Im happy to sat that the first part of my Barad-dûr project is finally finished (I was in last stages of finalizing it for a while now).
It focuses on the lower towers of Barad-dûr, centered around the massive lava fall and the pool below.
I’ve always enjoyed creating large, highly detailed environments, and this project has been a chance to push that even further — recreating Sauron’s legendary fortress.
I am now focusing on the entrance bridge which I just posted in other communities here cause it's still WIP.
Thought I'd share here the part thats' already final :)
I also update my progress here for those interested in following -
