Varnhold Vanishing + Skyrim Creation Kit = ... (Possible Spoilers)

[OldManJim]

Hi Folks,

Lately I've had the urge to play around with the Skyrim Creation Kit. I had all sorts of ideas on what to do, when inspiration hit: use the CK to create in-game images for our Kingmaker campaign.

I recently upgraded my video card to a GTX770, so I'm running K ENB to get the depth of field & lighting effects.

Keep in mind I'm not an artist in any way, shape or form, but I am an ex-draftsman who used to use AutoCAD & 3DSMax for a living, so I have some idea of what I'm doing :)

Here's some of the results: (1920x1080p images ahead...)

Possible Spoilers:

Valley of the Dead 01

Valley of the Dead 02

Valley of the Dead 03

Valley of the Dead 04

Valley of the Dead 05

I've also run up the 1st level of Vordakai's Tomb, so stay tuned.

Hope you like them!

Cheers,
Jim.

Whoa - Impressive!
Consider stolen... :)

*whistles* Indeed! Looking forward to more!

Here's the next set...

I had to scale things down a heap to make it work in the Creation Kit, but it's enough to give the right ideas to the PC's.

If you already own Skyrim, then it's free on Steam... :)

I like these kinds of programs. Many years ago, I made a big chunk of Undermountain using Unreal, but I lost it when uninstalling Half-Life wiped my entire games folder. Sigh.

Here's area W6:

I just wish I could do the dust & footprints etc along the path. Not enough time, too many small details.

These are great, I might have to check out the creation kit too...

[MeridiaCreative]

I take it this is a tool you use if you are a skilled artist, not a monkey with crayons like me, right? I wish I could provide images like this for my players since they're about to go try and storm Hargulka's fortress.

Anyway, these are awesome. Keep up the good work, and keep posting!
