Ok, now onto some details about the model. About 95% of the work is mine. I used several small mountain pieces by EA for the initial setup, but from there, I did the rest of the work. The texture was created by taking images in Worldbuilder of mountain terrain and blending it in a Photoshop document.
Texture size = 4096X4096
Total number of Vertices = 103685
Before you have a panic attack and get all concerned about the massive size and detail of the model, let me assure you that the model adds little to no lag in-game. I have done extensive testing with it as it was one of my major concerns when I started this project. And no, I do not have a super computer or anything (my default graphic settings are high, not very high). So this model should add a whole new visual element to the map and at the same time, not put a lot of stress on the computer.
As you can see in the screenshots, the model is not entirely finished. I still have work on the slope and also blending it in the map's terrain. I also still have to add skyboxes to the map and work on the transparency effects of the mountain shell. You should, however, have a clear view of what I have been working on in the past several months. I hoped you enjoyed it and please leave comments.

Careful. This link is DANGEROUS. Do NOT click it. This one, however, is fine.

Notice the stairs just left of the center and where they go...
In the movie, there were 2 ways to get in and out of the area behind and on the Deeping Wall. And I reserve the right to assume this is based off of the movie's one.

I'm confused... what are you trying to say? I have the stairs that go up to the Tower (which will be redone eventually). Oh wait, maybe you're talking about the door that connects the Deeping and Hornburg wall? If so, I will be adding that eventually.Very nice except for 1 thing...

The stairs and gate next to the Hornburg. That's the ONLY flaw I could find.

Is that the Deeping wall blown up in the 7th pic?! That is amazing.

Whoops! I keep showing stuff that I don't want you guys to see yet Well, since it has been mentioned, yes, that is the deeping wall blown up. Still very much in the early stages of development and got lots to go with the model.O_o
