The Old Brick Bridge

Low Poly Bridge

3D Art | August 2016

A 3 dimensional model of the Old Brick Bridge in Kuldiga

There is a tiny, old town called Kuldiga in Latvia. In this town is a bridge that is also pretty old. In fact it has been standing there since year 1874. This is that bridge.

There are repeting patterns with a bridge like this, so most of the elements you just have to build once and replicate at certain distances, but still tricky enough to build. It was a fun little project.

Here you can have a look at some images of the bridge in real life.

Process

Here are a couple of renders I did on the way just to keep track of the process:

1. The basic shapes and proportions

2. A bit more details on the sides

3. Railings added

4. Height and colors adjusted + road and sidewalks added

5. Lamps added - done!

Quad View

Here is the model from various angles.

Wireframe View

Here it is in the wireframe mode. It looks a bit messy because of the many edges the surface of the water has.

I have shared this 3d model on Dribbble, so give some love to this shot and follow me.
