Description
This is a work-in-progress.
Here you can see the reconstruction of the old bridge of my town, Pisa (Italy) in the beginning of the XV Century, at the end of Middle-Age.
It was built in 1383 and it falled down in 1630.
On the background there are many medieval buildings (some of them are still existing, others were rebuilt later in Renaissance Style).
I inserted some old images to show how was the bridge.
Sorry... no photos for the 1400's ;)
Thank you for viewing and leave some comment, if you want...

Well, I think you have a fabulous beginning. When you get your bump maps and texturing like you want it, to weather the buildings and "irregularize them" somewhat, you'll have a very realistic city. Cool history, too. Thanks for sharing this image.

Thank you all for the comments... I'm exporting this scene and many others buildings of Pisa in the 1400 into the 3D-Game Engine of Morrowind. So this scene can be viewed and explored in real-time.
