A year before the first of the LOTR movies was supposed to come out Animatek was bidding for a project to create 3D maps of the great journey. Unfortunately the copyright holders were very slow and after all the delays the project was not approved with no explanation.

Below are some of the renderings created for the project.

Shire. Free camera rendering of the map below.
Shire. A test hi-res map rendering.
Bag End.
Objects and architectural details modelled in 3DS Max and combined in World Builder with the outdoor scene.
Low res version of Bag End animation. It was rendered for
D1 format with fields and motion blur.
