Part of an ongoing project to visualise a more realistic and lore-accurate size to Tamriel's cities, removed from gameplay and technical restrictions. So here’s the Forgotten Vale, from the Dawnguard DLC – now with sixteen times the detail!
Going back through the drafts and finishing some videos that I started ages ago, but eventually abandoned because they were either too small or too obscure and didn’t make sense to do a video on each – but some were kinda interesting and (surprisingly) I did get a few specific requests to do some of these, so here you go!
Rendered out in Unreal Engine 5.7.2 on an RTX 3090. Using a mix of third-party models and custom assets modelled and textured in Blender. Nanite was used for all models and foliage; Lumen for global illumination and reflections. TSR was used for anti-aliasing.
