i like this element. Would be nice to see your view on aquaculture.



NB: maybe we/team/somebody need to show what part of corkbulb is eatable? Add some fruits or smaller bulbs?
That would be nonsense if plant of this size would be collected as a whole/

While landscaping i already added a few aquafarms near poorer farms, tonight if i stream u'll see em! Writing from mobile so no pics at hand but please keep tue concepts coming so i can have a few new models to work with and also some vision of the place!

Way more ;) Slaves of other races are very rare in general, and especially when used for physical labour.

To make a bit different shape of terrain I propose to aspirate with landscape of Verdun. And make it bigger 10x times with much more gender slopes. Sth different than lines of hills like in grazelands

Ascadian Isles is small region so this feature could make a bit expression of that it is a bit bigger than it is in reality. Hills are overlapping themselves so you never see too far. (remember MW, everyone thought that this is massive island because of short view)

This region is very sandy, so it could have formation similar like above loess-type. It is region rich of plantation and slaves so gorges similar like that will be cool places for hideout for outlaws. I've done some really fast sketches for them. Maybe Roman will make them more depicted if he want to.

cliff ascending above some poor fisher shack. It could be more extravagate in that way that it will be closing this shack from 3 sides (more stealthy)

or some cavern with crack above would be good for escaping slaves. This idea could save a lot of space (additional interior). Of course above crack could be trees and imperial parasols to add better effect. Remember if u want to add more content on this same area, you should add some additional space. In other way with great vision distance it will be looking too polluted with shacks.

I'd be okay with such silt/sand/clay cliffs in places where water would've washed them out like that, but I wouldn't go overboard. We have a ton of cliffy and rocky areas, Ascadian Isles should remain mostly green, lush rolling hills with water pools inbetween them.



It would actually make sense with lore too, since whole Vivec and all those Hlaalu buildings are made of clay. So yeah, silt and clay deposits near rivers in forms of these cliffs is a good idea. Hell, we could drop some shovels and buckets around there to indicate that those were worked.

Now that I think of it... We could add some artificial lakes. Dunmer would find a clay deposit, dig it up, and after a while it would fill up with water from ground/rain. Some muddy holes with things that indicate lying around excavation would be great. I remember IceFlame mentioning that he was working on a brick manufacture for Balmora near Odai - those would probably be even more common and prominent in Ascadian Isles, since the whole archipelago is basically clay and silt.

would be good to have several clay pits with really working (mining) potters/brick-makers.
actually there are many assets and ideas that would be nice to use in several places.

The concept art for Gnisis had a quarry, either for stone or clay, I'm going to be posting some progress of Gnisis soon and I'll make sure to include it:

It would be nice to see some Hlaalu clay quarries as well in the Ascadian Isles

I was initially thinking some kind of amphitheatre, but I thought it would make more sense as a quarry, seeing as its by the river and has all those posts in it, if it was a stone quarry it would be out of the base part, but as a clay quarry, being by the river works. That cliff is actually a very short drop as well, and is right alongside the river.

As for a sort of equivalent, I was thinking this could be restored:

What I believe to be a Dunmeri minaret for leading temple prayers, it didn't make it into the final build for whatever reason.

Remake of Marshmerrow? Where have you been before? I admit, if I had to do it today  I would do it quite differently. Still, already existing one is very close to the concept above.

It can’t be much different from what it is. Maybe more lush, more dense and better animation. Since we talking here about having large plantations so much to do it as auto-generated grass.

Yep. Anyway most mining animations use (in Hearthfire) same 'ore-veins' of clay as all other.
So just wide pit, maybe with some shallow water would be more practical in this case.
Actually it could be just a ravine with 'veins' on walls and bw floor and walls.

Awesome! Absolutely loving that one.

thedarkprince, we have models for everything now. its a case of scanning through the assets, finding something you need and applying the appropriate textures. you can do the texture vartions in the creation kit. no modelers needed.

60% of landscaping Skywind, is figuring out all the assets we have!

the only new models i thought wed need are the hard edges water borders, like volanic pools, in the image 3posts up, and the tall soil cliff faces, which are the same as my west gash ones, with a different texture.
both are easy to do. But still doing west gash atm. Unless u want me to divert for a day or 2.

Im with Dragomir, love the little gazebo to make the shrine stand out and feel more important/apreciated.

hmmm, why not give the shrine a more velothi make-over, it looks a bit too much like viet nam right now

I love how lush you make everything feel, Gives it a sense of wonder. Good job!

what about an abandoned velothi tower!

I love that concept! Really athmospheric.

I have a little idea I'd love to see though, could you put this character somewhere? A netchiman or two, looking like this or similar (could also wear the basic netch armour, not boiled - just without the goggles), would look awesome leaning against one of those posts, smoking a pipe and overlooking the Netch, having the netch hook somewhere near if it was necessary to pierce the air sack and bring one down ;) I really love the feeding baskets too.

If you added these characters, or one, it would tie the whole concept of netchimen together, and where netch armour comes from.
