Bah. Humbug.
It had me on \"the project is to recreate the city of Minas Tirith in 3D.\"
But then I found out that\'s a lie. It\'s to recreate it in 2D with artistic 3D rendering - a.k.a. CGI.
While it has its interest, I like minis and if I can\'t put a mini in it what do I want with it? I can just go visit a conglomoration of European and Middle-Eastern cities. Then it\'s real 3D and to scale.
Heck, why not just build it from photographs of real places slightly tweaked and put together?
