FREE interactive Middle-Earth demo released.

[monks]

Hey all, I'm from the Middle-Earth DEM Project- - a project with the aims to build a 3D Middle-Earth. I'm giving Middle-Earthy type folks a headsup so you can try it out. The demo consists of a FREE interactive Middle-Earth world viewer as seen in the linked video below. The scale of the world is 1:1...real sized.
If you've ever dreamed of flying around Middle-Earth, of sitting by the cool lapping shores of Lindon, of strolling through the singing forests of Lorien, or racing over the cruel spires of Mordor...now's your chance! Just download and install it.

At the login screen, select the Middle-Earth (medem) demo from the menu. It's that easy.

-----------------------

At the moment we're using the vanilla Outerra Earth enviroment and textures. Hence the snow in Mordor. EEK! Outerra Biomes are currently in development. That will introduce a complete array of ecosystems for the planet, both textures and vegetation.

We're looking for 3D modellers and enviroment artists.
This is a demo. In the coming weeks we'll be releasing a Builders Version of the terrain, which will be an updated terrain model ready for modding.
Included in the Anteworld demo is an entire world based on the Earth. Think Google Earth but with game oriented graphics and engine! Anteworld enables you to change the world enviroment. Also you can add buildings, roads, vehicles, change models and textures too!
