[WIP] Grazelands Landscaping

I love it. Once a few more trees and shrubs break up the ground more, it'll look really polished. I'm looking forward to seeing more, keep it up!

looking nice :) you should use a lot of embankments, or small grass/cliff meshes in this region

I like the way this is coming out :)

I don't know if someone care but I've already done the grazelands...

he is using the latest master with your plugin merged, and you see how the grazelands look like, are you sure you gave the plugin to happychappy? i know the bittercoast is done, and i can see the changes, but not in the grazelands

Nevermind, i'm on my phone right now and I cant't see all the pics. Are you sure all the assets are converted?Normally the hills should be almost completely covered. I don't.mind if you change what I've done, I just wanted to know if my work isn'lost : )

Yes it seems there is a problem, some rocks are probably missing. It should look like the screens I've posted on the screenshots thread...

I went to the Grazelands and seen your changes there, it has a bit of rock issues but it's there. I'm not sure how much you did, and I think only you would know lol.

i see the changes you did now, but there is still room for improvement regarding grass and landtexture painting, as there could be a bit more diverse grasstypes, and in general there is too much grass, atleast its very dense. and could be more small rocks scattered around. And i think a few small lakes here and there would be nice.

And one more thing, there should be embankments along the road, like in skyrim, you know those half grass, half rock/dirt meshes.

@Thedarkprince:

You have to start over again im afraid, and make sure you are using the latest master, i linked it to you earlier, but maybe you didnt install it.

@anthelius:

Ps. what you did was great, im not dissing your work ;)

Normally all the large rocks should be there, you can still add little rocks, bushes (look at what vurt did for morrowind or fallout) streams, lakes or this kind of thing : ) . @eloth: I know, didn't want to sound rude either. I just thougt someone was starting everything from scratch. I'm not at home now but soon I'll have plenty of time to work on something : )

thedarkprince:

no just start the detailing work on grazelands as we talked about, i have other plans for anthelius :)

 

Look nice!

Just don't overdo with rocks, because some areas are supposed to be not rocky. I hope there are other means of decorating landscape besides adding rocks and boulders, otherwise all skywind regions will look kind of same.

Looking good. Just be sure to blend the ground in with the cliffs your using. We shouldn't see a "seam" of where it starts. Other than that, it looks REALLY good. Looking forward to seeing more and trying it out myself :D

Looks great!

A question - is this a tent from Skyrim (hard to see exactly)? Remember we don't use Skyrim's assets directly, only objects from Skywind.esm.

Managed to get hold of a copy of darkprinces plugin and very nice, and hats off again to anthelius for all the hard work he did, amazing.

One thing that struck me when I played Morrowind original was how much grazelands reminded me of Africa. Anyway I went back to the looking at TES3 and thought about things that are are missing...

So here is the result of retexture of the grazelands rocks with sandstone, the ground texture "grass" to be more like dirt and using hoddimir grass (modders resource) for the grasses. Yes the grass is ultra green and in fact can be changed to something else, but it a good representation of shorter grass not really seen in Skyrim assets.

 

Ok cool, but I sort of hacked this together just to see the results. Give me a day to get it a bit more polished and I'll send you the replacers. Won't be able to do it until tomorrow.

are you go to make the grass browner with less saturation or just keep the classic green?

I agree with LASentry's suggestion.

Go more yellow and desaturated on the grass so it doesn't feel too rich and out of place.

See the attached screenshot!

 

Hey everyone,

I'm new to the team so thanks for having me and I'll do the best I can ! 

So I'm taking over the Grazelands. I love the african savannah feel to it, it does look more like the original. I'm currentely checking out the general landscaping thread, the rules, and I'm struggling to get a proper version working since it appears that I'm missing a lot of objects :) but once that's out of the way i'll get to the pimping of the grazelands ! 

I'll post refs on this thread, and don't hesitate to do that as well. I'll also post screenshot of my progress. Just bear in mind that I also have some caves / mines to do and i'll do my best to split up my time equally !

Cheers

will have a chat with eloth, grazelands have a concept but it only exists in the heads of eloth and I.
We need some new concepts, but u definately need new meshes, but we wont be ready for a while.

Ok I'll wait for you then. About new meshes, I can make them if that helps. Let me know !

Cant remain in the heads for too much longer. Try and relay that information to the masses :)

Hey,

 

I would like to actually start working on the GL this week end. I've given some stuff I made to ravanna and am waiting on new assets i supposed, but from what HappyChappy said I can give it a go now and see what I can do. If you guys have "prefered assets" for me to use let me know, else i'll just play around anyway :)

See ya
