The Real Scale of Morthal: Skyrim in UNREAL ENGINE 5! [4K]

Morthal is to be frank, no-one’s favourite Skyrim city. It’s kind of just … there. In a swamp. But, here we go anyway… Morthal suffers from the same issue as Falkreath in that it doesn’t really have a clearly defined visual identity. To me, it always seemed so dreary and depressing, so I just dialled it up to eleven with the swamp viking city vibes. Part of an ongoing project to visualise a more realistic and lore accurate scale to Tamriel’s cities.

Rendered out in Unreal Engine 5.4 on a 3090. Using a mix of third-party models and custom assets modelled in Blender, textured in Mixer. Nanite was used for all models and foliage; Lumen for global illumination and reflections.
