Sheogorad Region

That's some pretty nice progress, cant wait to see it later on.

Always nice to see some other landscapers at work. Keep us posted with new stuff, I love seeing the progress!

It looks nice, particularly if it is your first try :)

Please do keep us informed on how this is progressing. It is a pleasure to see some visually perceptible progress being made on the project :P

Just don't overdo with rocks, or some regions will look the same.

Looks good :-)

For sheogorad, me and eloth have been playing with some rocks, in between a million other things :p

will probably be a while till u get "sheo shards" for landscaping, and they must be done in a certain way (and height)
They'll be LOD's too.

this is one of the 1st methods ingame

Glad to see your not dead hikick!

Yeah, eloth mentioned that to me earlier. I'll try to keep hills hilly rather than mountanous :)

Agree that just using the original skyrim models starts to get a bit repetitive, and also they really are geared up for a rugged mountainous look. But on the same note leaving heightmaps and land textures as rock surfaces look ugly and out of place.

So I've made a new set of alternative smooth meshes to reflect a more wind/ash blasted rocks, which I think gives some of the original style of hilly terrain.

At the moment I have done the mountain set, so below is an example of the mountain peak as it is and a new smooth version.
