The True Size of Riverwood | Skyrim in UNREAL ENGINE 5! [4K]

Part of an ongoing project to visualise a more realistic and lore-accurate scale to Tamriel – so here’s Riverwood – now with sixteen times the detail! Finally got around to Riverwood – just a bit more fleshed out as a village – and also trying to capture that slightly magical ‘first time walking into’ feeling at the start of the game...

Rendered out in Unreal Engine 5.4 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. DLAA was used for all anti-aliasing.
