Hadrian's Wall - NewCastle Roman Fort 3D Reconstruction

View in High Quality!

This is a 3D reconstruction of the Roman Fort built along Hadrians Wall located at NewCastle UK also known as the Pons Aelius . This reconstruction also includes the first crossing point of the River Tyne, at Newcastle. The bridge was built by the romans and named the Pons Aelius after the emperor Hadrian, `the Bridge of Hadrian'. Over time the fort itself also became to be know as Pons Aelius. Situated on a hill the fort was originally built of earth and wood but later rebuilt out of stone. The Pons Aelius was a small fort by roman standards and housed about 480 auxilary troops. It included the Praetorium and Principia (Headquarters and Commander's residence), barracks, granaries, latrine and workshops.

The Roman bridge and fort at Newcastle formed the eastern end of Hadrian's Wall but later the wall was extended three miles further to the east where a fort called Segedunum was built at what is now know as Wallsend. Hadrian's Wall ran to the north of the fort and was not known to be connected to the fort. In the early fifth century the Cohors I Cornoviorum was stationed at Pons Aelius. Soldiers in this unit came from the Cornovii tribe who lived in the area around modern Cheshire. There are very little remains of the fort today. What you see now is an artists reconstruction I created.

The buildings and animation I created using various software programs. Cinema 4 and Vue. This is my first true animation so if you like it let me know and I will do more! You can find more information at my website http://www.ancientvine.com

Thank you all. Glad you liked.

Good job.  Was the animation done in Vue?

[Ancientvine]

Thanks all, Yes it was rendered in Vue Infinite 6. Models (building, props, equipment) were created in Cinema 4D. Thanks for viewing!

Can you tell us more about the people in this scene? Did you model them or took them from a library? In case the answer is "yes" I would really like to know from which library... I'm doing something similar in 3d and my organic modelling skills are below 0

All the best

LOVE THIS! I am doing a paper on Hadrian's Wall, and thanks to this, I now feel I know what it looked like, and being a visual person, this is MUCH appreciated! Thank you so so so much!

@wissensjunkie during excavations at Tuthill stairs (Tyne and Wear Museums, under John Mabbit in c.2005) we found a fragment of box tile which had down either washed down the river bank or dumped as rubbish following demolition. The bathhouse is roundabouts but it's exact location - who knows?

[wissensjunkie]

I watched this now several times. Great work. Thanks. The only thing I miss is the bath house. You would usually find a bath house at a site like this, outside the fortress walls.

Congradulations to you and Eric Haddad!

Nice o.0

Very nice. Excellent models and render. but please stagger the animation on the marching soldiers, they are all synchronized... esp the spears and feet stand out

also when a character stops moving, he stops dead on the spot, no follow thru...
